With only 11 La Liga games remaining in 2017-18 season after this fixture, a win for the Catalan giants will take their lead at the top of the La Liga table to eight points, almost guaranteeing them the league title.

A draw will keep things as it is but a win for Atletico Madrid will reduce the gap between them and Barcelona to two points and put them within a touching distance of the table toppers. This game means a lot more to Diego Simeone than to Ernesto Valverde. Atletico Madrid will put everything into the game as their title hopes rest a lot on securing these three points.
