Barcelona Prediction
Barcelona has had an outstanding 2025 Copa del Rey run, advancing confidently to the semifinals.
The team debuted in the competition against fourth-tier side Barbastro in the round of 32. Despite facing a lower-tier opponent, the Blaugrana approached the match seriously and secured a comfortable 4-0 victory, earning their spot in the round of 16.
Then, in the round of 16, Barcelona delivered a convincing 5-1 win over Real Betis, advancing to the next stage. The Blaugranas took on Valencia CF at Camp Nou in the quarterfinals, sealing an emphatic 5-0 victory. Ferran Torres was the standout performer, scoring a hat-trick.
Under Hansi Flick’s management, Barcelona has displayed exceptional form in 2025, remaining unbeaten in 13 matches, with 11 wins and 2 draws.
This streak includes remarkable victories, such as the 5-2 win against Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup and the aforementioned 5-0 triumph over Valencia in the Copa del Rey. The team is currently leading La Liga.
The upcoming clash against Atlético de Madrid promises to be intense, given both teams’ strong form. Atlético has also shown solidity in recent performances, setting up a highly anticipated semifinal.
Flick is expected to field his best players, including Robert Lewandowski (32 goals so far), Raphinha (24), and Lamine Yamal (11).
The second leg will take place on April 2 at the Wanda Metropolitano.
Atletico Madrid Prediction
Atletico de Madrid is performing very well in the current Copa del Rey.
Their journey began in the first round, where they faced Vic and secured a 2-0 victory in a match they dominated without any trouble.
In the second round, they faced Cacereno and won 3-1, demonstrating offensive solidity and control of the game.
In the Round of 32, Atletico faced Marbella and managed a narrow 1-0 win. Despite being a closely contested match, the Rojiblancos found the decisive goal to secure their place in the next stage.
In the next round, Diego Simeone’s team took on Elche and claimed a dominant 4-0 victory, showcasing their attacking power and reinforcing their status as title contenders.
Atletico Madrid faced Getafe in the quarterfinals at the Estadio Metropolitano, earning a resounding 5-0 victory.
Under Simeone’s leadership, the team has maintained a strong run in the Copa del Rey, with five consecutive wins and only one goal conceded throughout the tournament.
The clash against Barcelona promises to be one of the toughest encounters in the competition. The Blaugranas arrive in great form, but Atletico will aim to impose their playing style, built on a solid defense and quick transitions.
Barcelona vs. Atletico Madrid Pick
Every time these two teams face each other, an incredible and frantic match unfolds. I believe Barcelona's great form may slightly tilt the balance in their favor. I see a very tight result and a close encounter.
Barcelona vs. Atletico Madrid Pick: I'm backing a Draw in the Barcelona vs. Atletico Madrid match.
