The history of the Determining Match between Atletico vs Barcelona is very much inclined to the victory of Atletico Madrid. Do you remember when David Villa moved from Barcelona to Atletico Madrid?
They (Atletico Madrid) managed to win the La Liga title during the match against Barcelona.
It's true that it's just the history of the match, but it doesn't cover the possibility that it will repeat itself. Given Atletico Madrid's defeat against Athletic Bilbao, maybe in the future, Atletico Madrid will be wary of their next opponents.
There are still 5 matches remaining, and 3 of those 5 matches will be easy for Atletico Madrid.
Suarez will have mixed feeling in that match but it is not a matter for the club. The club have problems in many weeks and D Simeone can not manage to fix it. More points have been lost in recent matches and all of lost points put A Madrid in the verge of failure for the whole tournament.
Lose the big clash against Barcelona and lose the La Liga. Win it won't secure the chance to win La Liga for them.
Every opponent is now strong for Atletico Madrid. Because Atletico Madrid is not in the form now. A team like Atletico Bilbao has beaten Atletico Madrid. However, it seems that if they can win against Barcelona, they may be able to win the title this season. But Real Sociedad and Osasuna are not bad teams. They are capable of beating Atletico Madrid.
They are weaker than they were in early of this season and with the slippery form, Atletico Madrid will not be able to manage the fighting against Barcelona. They might even worse lose the second position to Real Madrid.
With all the recent performances from Atletico Madrid, I don't believe that they can win against Barcelona. Even if they can win it, do you think they won't lose more points in other matches?
