In Jornada's 13th La Liga this time, Atletico Madrid will host first place Barcelona standings at Wanda Metropolitano. So far Atletico Madrid is ranked third in the standings. While Barcelona must win this fight, if you do not want to be displaced from the top of the standings.

As an international break, last week, Barcelona were surprisingly defeated by Real Betis. So far, Barcelona have managed to collect 24 points, but it is only one point chosen from second place, Sevilla are under it. And followed by Atletico Madrid who are also one point difference.

In the last two matches, Atletico Madrid have always managed to win matches. In the Champions League, Atletico Madrid won when they met Borussia Dortmund 2-0, with goals from Antonio Griezmann and Saul Niguez. Then indeed in La Liga when he met Atlhetic Bilbao 3-2 through goals from Redrigo, Thomas Partey and Diego Godin.

While the opposite is experienced by Barcelona. They pace without us in their last two games. In the Champions League Barcelona drew against Inter Milan. While in La Liga, even though Messi was reported to have joined after being injured but was unable to change their fate when contradicting Bilbao last week.

After this match, the two Spanish teams will compete again in the League champions. Atletico will host AS Monaco. While Barcelona have to play away from PSV Eindhoven this midweek. This match will be the spirit of both teams to be able to compete in Europe as motivation.
