Barcelona’s penultimate game of the season should have had more riding on it. Had Real Madrid beaten Valencia last weekend the Catalans would have had to go to the Vicente Calderon and won
As it is, Madrid could only draw, meaning that Barca could lose to Atletico on Sunday and still be crowned champions of Spain with a home victory over struggling Deportivo on the final day of the season.Atletico, for their part, need a win to guarantee third place in the table and a direct passage into the group stages of the Champions League, something they failed to seal last week in drawing at Levante.While Barca could not defeat Atleti in six meetings last season, this term they have beaten them three times: in the league at Camp Nou and home and away in the Copa del Rey.Atletico, meanwhile, are less prolific but still consistent scorers, having netted in 23 of their last 25 home matches in La Liga and to this end both teams to score.This bet has paid out in two of the three meetings this season, and it really is hard to see either side drawing a blank
Both teams to score.Play it @ Betfair at 1.81 odds
