bestsoccerpredictor - Betting tips, stats, and match preview of the Liga BBVA game between Atlético Madrid and FC Barcelona on Sunday 17th May 19:00 CET. Imperious Barcelona can wrap up their title in style by beating reigning champions Atletíco Madrid at the Estadio Vicente Calderón on Sunday, keeping their hopes alive for a treble of League, Cup, and Champions League. They face Atlético Madrid who need a result to secure their Champions League Group Stage place against a lurking Valencia.
Atlético come into the game in decent form, unbeaten in the league in 13 games, and unbeaten at home in the last 10. However, they have drawn their last two outings against lower teams in the shape of Athletic Bilbao and Levante, only a late Fernando Torres goal saved Madrid’s bacon last week, and against a flying Barcelona things might be difficult for Diego Simeone’s men. The Argentine has just the one injury concern ahead of Sunday’s game, young striker Héctor ruled a doubt.
FC Barcelona
FCB have been in exceptional form as of late, having not lost once in the last 12 games and won the last five, and were unbeaten in their last 9 away games before a close 3-2 defeat in Munich this week.

Luis Enrique also has virtually their entire star-studded squad to choose from to try and secure the league.
