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. Jose Gimenez and Stefan Savic returned to training this week, and will face late fitness tests ahead of the match.Opta statsBarcelona 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 Enriques 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. 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. Josh Allen Youth Jersey . Price was hurt at the start of Wednesdays practice after facing just one shot as the team worked on their power play. He left the ice in discomfort and appeared to be favouring his leg. A Habs source told TSNs John Lu that Price suffered the injury in Sochi and not before the Olympics. O. J. Simpson Womens Jersey . The Jays responded to the three-spot Detroit placed on Casey Janssen the evening before with an attack on the Tigers Achilles Heel, its bullpen, tying the game in the ninth and winning the game in the 10th. The result absolved Marcus Stroman, brilliant once again, of a tough luck loss while at the same time robbing Max Scherzer, brilliant once again, of a deserved win. http://www.authenticbillsfanaticfootball.com/.

Less than 24 hours after the Wolves lost at home to the Mavericks, 100-98, NBA president of basketball operations Rod Thorn announced Tuesday that Kevin Love was fouled on his right arm by Shawn Marion in the closing seconds and should have been awarded two free throws. Dirk Nowitzki and the Dallas Mavericks have agreed on what could be the final contract for the big German. A person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press on Thursday that Nowitzki would get a three-year contract worth roughly $30 million. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal has not been announced. New contracts cant be signed until next Thursday. The 36-year-old Nowitzki is taking a big pay cut with a contract similar in value and structure to the one Tim Duncan signed with San Antonio two years ago. Duncan, who also took a much lower salary, is exercising a player option to return for the final season of his deal after helping the Spurs win their fifth title since 1999. Nowitzki just completed a four-year deal worth $80 million, and he left money on the table in that deal hoping the Mavericks could get some pieces around him. The pursuit of other staars is even more urgent with Nowitzki getting close to the end of what figures to be a Hall-of-Fame career.dddddddddddd. The 2011 NBA Finals MVP put off finalizing the deal until after the Mavericks met with free agent Carmelo Anthony, which happened Wednesday night. Mavericks owner Mark Cuban recently acknowledged that he couldnt offer Anthony a max contract, so Dallas figures to be stressing the 2011 title led by coach Rick Carlisle, Nowitzki and centre Tyson Chandler, who recently rejoined the team in a trade with the New York Knicks. If the Mavericks miss out on Anthony, there are a number of other small forwards on their wish list, topped by Houstons Chandler Parsons. He is a restricted free agent, and the Rockets can match any offer. Dallas also wants to re-sign point guard Devin Harris, and will target several others at that position if Harris goes elsewhere.
