Great match in LaLiga, Atl\u00e9tico Madrid will be at home against Barcelona in the most attractive duel of the 28th matchday between two teams in need.

The Colchoneros come from suffering a tough setback since they lost 2-0 visiting Cadiz, but they recovered and eliminated Inter in the Champions League.\u00a0

On the other hand, the Blaugranas have been recovering, making their home ground respected in the league against Mallorca (1-0) and the Champions League versus Napoli (3-1).\u00a0

Why Bet on Atl\u00e9tico Madrid?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Atl\u00e9tico Madrid will not win LaLiga<\/a> this year, but the illusion of having a great Champions League is present. Especially, after the recent qualification to the quarterfinals by eliminating Inter on penalties in an agonizing series.\u00a0

Now, referring to the local tournament, the last outing of Diego Simeone’s team ended with a 2-0 defeat against Cadiz, with a brace from Juanmi.\u00a0This defeat leaves the Madrid team in fourth position with 55 points, with only two points ahead of Athletic Bilbao, who are dreaming of taking away access to the next Champions League.\u00a0<\/strong>

Leaving aside this struggle, Atletico is the best home team in Spanish soccer.\u00a0It has won 13 of 14 matches, having drawn the remaining one. In that capacity, it has scored 34 goals and allowed only 13.\u00a0<\/strong>

There is no doubt that their most outstanding player is Antoine Griezmann.\u00a0The Frenchman has 19 goals in the campaign, 11 of them in LaLiga, a tournament in which he has delivered six assists.\u00a0<\/strong>

The injured players in this team are Josema Gim\u00e9nez, Thomas Lemar, and Vitolo.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Bet on Barcelona?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Barcelona has not performed as expected in LaLiga, and today it seems a utopia for Xavi Hernandez’s team to repeat last season’s title. Injuries have been a problem for this team, which has in the Champions League the dream of retaking the trophy. It would be the perfect ending for Xavi, who has already confirmed that whatever happens, he will leave at the end of the season. They have just eliminated Napoli in the round of 16, showing a good game.\u00a0

In LaLiga, thanks to a goal by Lamine Yamal, the Catalan club beat Mallorca 1-0, keeping them in third place with 61 points, eight behind leaders Real Madrid.\u00a0<\/strong>Not only Yamal’s good level but also Ferm\u00edn L\u00f3pez has given a hand to make up for injuries or bad games of Robert Lewandowski.\u00a0

A separate chapter deserves Joao Felix, who is on loan from Atletico and does not have a good relationship with Simeone. Already in the first round, he scored the definitive goal.\u00a0

Barcelona is an excellent visitor, as so far it has not had any defeat, winning seven times and drawing six.\u00a0The team comes into this match on a nine-game unbeaten streak.\u00a0<\/strong>

Among the injured are Alejandro Bald\u00e9, Frankie De Jong, Pedri, Gavi, and Ferr\u00e1n Torres.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
