FC Barcelona stand at the second position in LaLiga, with only one point more than their opponent, Atletico Madrid. Barca have managed to win three games, while they unexpectedly lost at home against new promoted team, Alaves 1-2. Home side are one of the main favorites to win the trophy, but Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid have the same ambitions. Real Madrid have three points more than Barcelona, so home team will be fully motivated to win this game. In the last round they smashed Leganes and they want to continue with good performance. Leo Messi and Luis Suarez are in the great form, both have already scored 4 goals, so these two players could be the most dangerous player for Diego Simeone‘s men.




Atletico Madrid stand at the 4th position with one point less than Barcelona. Their main goal is to reach the Top 3 and qualified in the Champions League directly, but if they start well, Atletico could be one of the favorites to win LaLiga. Team from Madrid have the best defence in league and in four matches this season they conceded only one goal, while on the other side they scored 10 goals. Last season they had the best defence and their strong defence could be the best this season. One of their best player, Antoine Griezmann, has decided to stay in the club and he already scored 4 goals. Visitors traditionally play very poor at Camp Nou. Last time they beat them away 10 years ago, but the last match between FC Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid was finished with Atletico’s victory, when they eliminated Barcelona in the Quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League, beating them 2-0.

Home side have full squad available, while on the other side visitors will be their second goalkeeper Moya and Tiago due to injury.
