Atletico Madrid will look to take advantage of Barcelona's poor form when they attempt to overturn a 2-1 deficit in the Champions League quarter-finals.

Luis Enrique's side lead 2-1 on aggregate going into Wednesday's match at the Vicente Calderon, but have shown they are not invincible after defeats against Real Sociedad and Real Madrid in the last fortnight.

Barcelona's consecutive league defeats have boosted Atletico's chances of winning the Spanish title, and also may have boosted confidence in their camp ahead of Wednesday's European tie.

Diego Simeone's side will be without the suspended Fernando Torres - who picked up a red card in the first leg after scoring just 10 minutes earlier.

Luis Suarez pulled Barcelona level before scoring again to give them the advantage, but Torres is confident his side could have beaten the Spanish giants with 11 men on the field.

Speaking to El Larguero, he said: "I am sure that with 11 we would have won at the Nou Camp.

"I am convinced that the second yellow is not a card, I just felt a mixture of hopelessness and frustration."

Team news

Barcelona will miss defender Thomas Vermaelen and midfielder Rafinha, who are both nursing injures. The former picked up a calf problem in training this week, while the latter strained a muscle in the defeat by Real Sociedad at the weekend.

Torres is the main loss for Atletico, who list Thiago as their only other definite absentee. Jose Gimenez and Stefan Savic returned to training this week, and will face late fitness tests ahead of the match.

Opta stats

Barcelona are in excellent form against Atletico Madrid, having beaten them in their last seven matches in all competitions.

Interestingly, all three encounters between Atletico and Barca this season have all followed the same template: Atletico score first and Barcelona win 2-1.

Luis Enrique's side have progressed to the Champions League semi-finals in seven of the last eight campaigns, the only exception coming in 2013/14 when they were knocked out in the quarter-finals by…Atletico Madrid.

Atletico have kept a clean sheet in 12 of their last 14 Champions League matches at the Calderón.

Barcelona are the only club still unbeaten in the Champions League this season. They have won 18 of their 22 games in the competition since last season (D2 L2), scoring in all 22 games.

Charlie Nicholas' prediction

"The problem for Atletico, a bit like Man City, is knowing how to approach the game. They're not a natural attacking side and Diego Simeone will be thinking a 1-0 victory is their best chance of going through.

"They'll sit in and be patient and look to hit Barca on the counter-attack. Fernando Torres is obviously suspended but their main threat is Antoine Griezmann, who is a fantastic little footballer and has the pace to hurt them.

"However, I see one of the three amigos really turning up. Luis Suarez will be chomping at the bit, pardon the expression, after being banned at the weekend, but I fancy Neymar, who Atletico just love kicking lumps out of, to do the business."
