Atlético vs Barça: LaLiga's best defence meets its best attack

A clash of styles. Defence against attack. At least, that is what the numbers say. Barcelona keep scoring freely away from home, while Atlético have kept six clean sheets. Who will come out on top on Sunday?

Atlético de Madrid and FC Barcelona meet on Sunday in a clash of styles. While Atlético will look to attack the space, Barça will try to dictate the tempo of the game through possession. According to figures from Álex Cabrera, a contributor to 'El Club Uría', it pits LaLiga's best defence (Simeone's side) against the competition's best attack (Flick's side).

Barcelona have limitless firepower. They have scored 46 goals in LaLiga so far, with a spectacular scoring rate, and have produced some huge away wins: 5-0 at Elche, 5-0 at Valencia, 4-2 at Levante and 5-2 at Betis, for example.

Atlético de Madrid, on the other hand, are a side who concede very few chances and goals. They have let in just 8 so far this season and kept six clean sheets, making Oblak the goalkeeper with the fewest goals conceded in the league to date.
