The derby of the La Liga round will be at the Camp Nou. In it, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, which are neighbors in the ranking, will compete in fifth and fourth place, respectively. The Mattresses won 2-0 in early October, but today they are an outsider and I think this is quite natural in view of the performance of both teams recently, but we have yet to find out what will happen on Sunday.
Barcelona will most likely be without a trophy this season, with the only option remaining the Europa League. However, the big task for Xavi is to build a new team that will be competitive with Real Madrid and the opponents in the Champions League next season. Steps in the right direction can already be seen with the improved actions of the team on the field and the completed transfer of Obamayang a few days ago.
Barça is playing well, but continues to face serious difficulties in front of goal. This does not seem so surprising given the constant injuries of attacking figures, and the lack of players like Neymar, Suarez and Messi. In the last round, Barcelona beat Alaves 1-0, and for the fourth consecutive match of La Liga failed to score more than a goal. The good news, however, is that there has been no loss for more than two months.
Atletico Madrid is quite disappointing so far this season. Only 21 matches have been played, and he has already conceded more goals than in the entire championship campaign. Dry nets are a rare event, and in the last round Sofia needed three goals to compensate for the two of Valencia in their door. For three matches in the championship Atletico is undefeated. This may not sound like anything out of the ordinary, but four consecutive defeats have been suffered before.
Initially, I liked the bet on the success of Barcelona, ββwhich has won six of its ten households so far. Then I thought about a small number of goals, which is normal for Atletico Madrid derbies over the years, but this season is unusual for Diego Simeone. In the end, I decided to be as rational as possible and settled on a combined bet at bwin. The "Mattresses" have won in only four visits so far, and the success of a team from the first half is lacking, and today I expect a loss in their assets.
