Match Overview

Kekaapp tipsters see Atletico Madrid vs FC Barcelona in today’s Copa del Rey semifinal (first leg) as a highly competitive, tactical showdown between two Spanish heavyweights. Barcelona arrive as slight favourites thanks to their superb recent form and attacking firepower, while Atletico are strong at home and desperate to get a positive result before the second leg.

Match Prediction
