Pretty funny quotes for this match at the moment:
2,39 - 3,45 - 3,00
For some reason, Barcelona are rated as favorites, although in my opinion, Atlético Madrid will be the clear favorite in this match. In my opinion, the clubs have a fundamentally different situation - Atlético is in a temporary crisis, and Barcelona is in a systemic one. In such a situation, to evaluate Barcelona as a favorite is a clear mistake.
This all is not for just some reason, it's all because recently Barcelona is doing very good in last five matches they have 11 points and Atletico Madrid is having only 7 points with have two defeats against Sevilla and Granada. Barcelona having some problems, but recently they are improving very rapidly and have many matches without any defeat, so they can beat Atletico Madrid and can grab their four spot which is very important for them.
After this they can think about some more good results and can bring down Betis because they are also having some struggling time and can through few points which are very valuable for Barcelona and their cause. This is massive achievement from them as they are facing some worst time on and off the field with knocked out from Champions League as well.
