PREDICTION

Barca are losing ground to Real Madrid in the title race and face another tough test while welcoming Atletico to the Camp Nou. Visitors are in excellent shape after winning the last four games, albeit against modest opposition. They will make it difficult for Barca whose key men are struggling to find the shape amid speculation of unrest in the dressing room with coach Quique Setien. They should be adequately motivated to consider the size of this game and Atletico is not helped by a couple of key suspensions. This can give Barca an advantage and, without the best defense, can expect goals at both ends of the field.
