Match facts

Atletico Madrid

Atleti have a draw, a loss, and three wins in their last five matches.
Diego Simeone has seen center back Lucas Hernandez, left back Filipe Luis, and center midfielder Augusto Fernandez return to training of late. But it's unseen whether they will play or not.
Griezmann has just two goals in the league so far, but he did score for France to take them to the World Cup in the last week and will hope to bring that form along with him.

Barcelona

This rivalry has gotten much, much closer recently, but Barcelona remains on top of the rivalry. They have 28 wins, 13 draws, and 15 losses to Atletico Madrid in the last 56 meetings.
Messi has scored the winner the last two times Barcelona played at Atletico.
Ernesto Valverde has injuries to center midfielder Rafinha and left winger Ousmane Dembele that will keep those men out for quite a while.

Predictions

After a very tough international break for many players involved in this match, this match might turn out to be a bit of a grind. Especially considering that Atletico Madrid are going to want to slow Barcelona down as much as they possibly can do.

The Catalans are on top of the league, and they are six points ahead of Atleti by virtue of seven wins from seven. Given the way they, and most importantly Leo Messi, we like their chances to pip out a victory in Madrid.

Final Score – 1 : 2

Difficult game but the form Barca is in, this is the best time for them to get these games. They could very well get a way with 1-2 win.
