As a Barca supporter and a guy who probably watches 30-35 Barca matches a year, I can say pretty definitively that they won't settle for 1-0/2-0. If there are holes available, they're going to attack them. And they still have to go back to Madrid for the second game, there's no lead too big IMO.UEFA Champions League
Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid 1st Leg
Barcelona is at home in this 1st leg matchup and is -230 in this matchup on the ML and -125 as -1 against the spread
ATL Madrid's highest scorer is listed as DOUBTFUL with a leg injury and their 2nd highest scorer is OUT serving a suspension.
I wanted to jump on the over 2.5 on this match up but am fearful Barcelona gets up 1-0 and settles for a 1-0 or 2-0 victory if ATL Madrid can't get a goal in.
ATL Madrid holds 1pt lead over Barcelona in their regular league for the title
Barcelona's next game is against the worst team in the league and ATL Madrid's next game is against the 6th best team.
I could see ATL Madrid keeping a closer eye on the La Liga league standings with a more difficult road to keep their 1pt lead.
I'm going ML line on Barcelona.
But: ATM has figured out how to grind Barca to a halt though by mucking up the game and playing physical in the midfield. The last three games have gone under the 2.5, so I'm going to roll with it at the dog price.
Barcelona/Atletico Madrid under 2.5 +110
