Atletico Madrid will look to take advantage of Barcelonas poor form when they attempt to overturn a 2-1 deficit in the Champions League quarter-finals. Luis Enriques side lead 2-1 on aggregate going into Wednesdays match at the Vicente Calderon, but have shown they are not invincible after defeats against Real Sociedad and Real Madrid in the last fortnight.Barcelonas consecutive league defeats have boosted Atleticos chances of winning the Spanish title, and also may have boosted confidence in their camp ahead of Wednesdays European tie. Diego Simeones 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. Diego Simeone is hoping to beat Barcelona on Wednesday night Team newsBarcelona 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.

Barcelonas Luis Suarez celebrates after scoring in the first leg 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 predictionThe problem for Atletico, a bit like Man City, is knowing how to approach the game. Theyre not a natural attacking side and Diego Simeone will be thinking a 1-0 victory is their best chance of going through.Theyll 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.Charlie predicts: 1-1 and Neymar to score first (30/1 with Sky Bet) Luis Enriques side have lost back-to-back La Liga matches BettingBarcelona are Sky Bets 6/5 favourites for the victory on Wednesday night, with Atletico up against odds of 9/4 to win and 11/4 to qualify for the semi-finals.Luis Enriques men currently head Sky Bets Champions League outright at 11/8 with Atletico up against odds of 18/1 to lift the trophy.Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez share favouritism in the first goalscorer betting at 4/1 closely followed by Neymar at 11/2, while Antoine Griezmann is rated the hosts main threat at 5/1.Follow Atletico Madrid v Barcelona with our live blog on skysports.com and the Sky Sports apps.

He bettered that with a long-range blast that went in off the goal frame in the 18th, and converted a penalty in the 72nd after Diego Mainz was sent off for fouling Aduriz with only the goalkeeper to beat.WASHINGTON -- Chris Pontius converted a penalty kick in the 11th minute and D.C. United snapped a club-record 13-game winless streak with their first victory since March 9, beating the San Jose Earthquakes 1-0 Saturday night. San Jose (4-7-6) was shut out for the third time in four games and has failed to score in each of its seven losses this season. "Its been brutal," United coach Ben Olsen said of the winless streak. "Its been brutal for the staff and the players. Its been brutal for the organization and its been brutal for our fans." Pontius echoed Olsens sentiment about the teams run of futility. "Awful, terrible," he said. "It tests you off the field as well, mentally. Its not something that any of us want to be in this position." For the second straight week D.C. United (2-11-3) was able to take an early lead thanks to a kick from the spot. United captain John Thorrington rewarded defender Chris Korbs run down the right side of the field into the penalty box with a perfectly weighted ball. Korb was immediately fouled by Earthquakes defender Justin Morrow. Pontius, who started the initial sequence with a pass to Thorrington, made no doubts about his first goal of the season by blasting it right as San Jose goalie Jon Busch guessed left. "I felt like I actually got into a groove this game," Pontius said. Its a bit of pressure off my back now." Despite finally earning all three points, the United players know the job isnt over especially withh the league cup on the horizon next week.dddddddddddd "Our goals in the beginning of the season werent to win two games in MLS," Thorrington said. "So hopefully this is just a stepping stone." After failing to earn a penalty kick through the first 14 games of the season, D.C. United has taken one in successive games. San Joses best chance of the night came in the 61st minute when midfielder Shea Salinas found space behind Daniel Woolard and Conor Shanosky just outside the 6-yard box before firing a left footed shot right at goalie Bill Hamid, who made the point-blank save. Salinas kept the pressure coming two minutes later with another attempt from inside the penalty area, this time having his shot blocked by defender Alain Rochat. San Jose kept pressing in the second half and nearly scored again as forward Adam Jahn got free inside the box and rifled a left-footed shot that beat Hamid only to go off the left goal post and out of bounds. Hamid saved three shots on the night in earning his fourth shutout of the season. "The confidence has always been high, we know we have the talent," Hamid said. "Its just finding the final touch, thats all its been." Reigning Major League Soccer MVP Chris Wondolowski, who leads San Jose with five goals this season and is tied for the team lead with three assists, did not make the trip east after injuring his right foot in training this week. There is no timetable on his return as the club will re-evaluate him. ' ' '
