Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid Prediction and Betting Tips | December 2nd 2025

Barcelona and Atletico Madrid will battle for three points in a potential top-of-the-table LaLiga matchday 19 clash on Tuesday (December 2). The game will be played at Camp Nou.

The hosts are coming off a 3-1 comeback victory over Alaves at the same venue over the weekend. A shock start to the game saw them concede the opener to Pablo Ibanez within a minute of the kickoff, but parity was restored by Lamine Yamal in the eighth minute. Dani Olmo put the Catalans ahead in the 26th minute and completed his brace in second-half injury time.

Atletico, meanwhile, claimed maximum points with a routine 2-0 home win over Real Oviedo. Alexander Sorloth broke the deadlock in the 16th minute to ensure that the capital side have scored in their opening 14 LaLiga games of a season for the first time since 1978. The Norwegian big man completed his brace nine minutes later to guarantee the win.

The win left Diego Simeone's side in fourth spot in the standings, having garnered 31 points from 14 games. Barcelona lead the way at the summit on 34 points.

Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid Prediction

Barcelona moved one point clear at the summit over the weekend as they aim to retain their LaLiga crown. The Blaugrana were bolstered by key man Raphinha, making his first start in more than two months over the weekend.

Atletico Madrid have overcome a shambolic start to the season and are now in the conversation as one of the sides that could potentially dethrone their hosts. However, Los Colchoneros have struggled in this fixture, having won just one of the last 19 head-to-head LaLiga games (13 losses), although that win came on their most recent visit to Catalunya.

We expect the home side to claim a narrow win with goals at both ends.

Prediction: Barcelona 2-1 Atletico Madrid
