Atletico Madrid Vs Barcelona

I do sense that this time there will be over 2,5 goals in this game. But I will go for Barca win instead to be safe. OMG what's wrong with bookies? 2.06 for Barca win tonight sounds great. Last time Barca visited Vicente Calderón I think it was 6-0 to Barca, never mind all the hype surrounding that particular game and Atletico promising to beat Barca to Help Real Madrid to clinch the title! Same story and another game. In their last game Barca had a number of chances against Valencia if it wasn't for Hildebrand they would've won easily! Ronaldinho returns to the Barcelona squad along with Eidur Gudjohnsen, Sylvinho and Giovani Dos Santos. Rafa Márquez, Bojan Krkic and Touré Yaya are out.

Atletico are all over the place at the moment, they are wasteful and useless in front of goal. If you watched Bolton game you know what I'm talking about. Oh and not to mention 'great' performance against Osasuna, they've lost 3-1! Thiago Motta, Leo Franco and Georgios Seitaridis are out while Mariano Pernía and Fabiano Eller are rested. Atletico will be boosted by the returns of top scorer Sergio Aguero, midfielder Raul Garcia and centre back Pablo Ibanez.

I'm not basing this on many stats, home and away form will not matter here, trust me. This is simple. Atletico need to win in order to put back on track their quest for 4th place and Barca need their win to catch up with Real Madrid, who I sense might struggle tonight. If Madrid lose and Barca win, Barca will top the table by 1 point! Atletico's slump Vs Barca's hunger? Barca are more creative and play better football at the moment so my call is Barca! Remember Real game kicks off at the same time so be assured Barca will be focussed from the very start.
