Barcelona-Atletico Madrid Preview: Camp Nou stage set for La Liga decider

They go head to head for the title at the Camp Nou.
Fc Barcelona and Athletico Madrid are going head to head to win the La Liga at Camp Nou on Saturday. Atletico Madrid head into the weekend's clash with a 3 point advantage over their opponents and they are also at the top of the table. However, a win for Barcelona would clinch the title on the basis of their previous head to head records following a 0-0 draw at Vicente Calderon in January.

Both clubs have frustrated in recent months, with Barcelona dropping their valuable points in the last  two m atches, conceding a last minute equaliser in a 2-2 draw against Getafe and a 0-0 draw at Elche. That opened the door for Atletico to win their first crown since 1996, but they also look really frustrated after a draw against Malaga and a loss of 2-0 at Levante.


Spanish striker Diego Costa is beileved that he will be fit for the clash after a hamstring problem, although Cristian Rodriguez will not start due to the similar injuries. For Barcelona, Neymar and Jordi Alba have not given to many starts so their place in playing 11 remain doubts. Gerard Pique will also not play after he cracked his hip in the Champions League quarter finals, However, all three took part in fitness training sessions this week with a view to being ready for the Laliga Clash showdown at the Camp Nou this weekend
