Atl. Madrid
WWWWL
Atletico Madrid come into this fixture with their latest encounter before the international break ending a four-game winning streak for the side in the Spanish top-flight. The Rojiblancos were condemned to a late goal in the Madrid derby which handed their city rivals all three points in the encounter. Atletico Madrid find themselves in fourth place and 16 points behind their opposition in this encounter. While Diego Simeone’s side have not entirely been buoyant in front of goal, they can take comfort in a defensive unit that's only allowed 28 goals.
Barcelona
WWWWW
FC Barcelona continue to lead the pack in the La Liga title race this campaign, holding a four point advantage over next placed Real Madrid. La Blaugrana arrive this encounter with a five game winning streak in the top-flight and are presented a chance to revisit the Copa Del Rey heartbreak suffered at the hands of this same opposition. Hansi Flick’s side have been the foremost offensive side in the division this campaign with 78 goals scored over 29 rounds of fixtures. In terms of fitness, they're however without the services of Brazilian forward Raphinha who went off injured during international duty.
Prediction
This fixture is one between sides bolstered with quality players in attack. As such, a goal return could be expected at both ends.
