Villarreal is having a solid tournament. They currently sit in fifth place with 44 points—five behind Athletic Club but with a game in hand—keeping them in the race for a Champions League spot. Their six-game unbeaten streak, which included four wins, came to an end with a 1-0 loss to Alavés despite taking 24 shots without scoring.
Real Madrid has the same 57 points as Barcelona but has played one more match than the ‘Culés,’ and in head-to-head results, they are behind. They are coming off a 2-1 win against Rayo Vallecano and have advanced to the Champions League quarterfinals after losing 1-0 to Atlético Madrid but leveling the aggregate score at 2-2 and winning on penalties, thanks to Julián Álvarez’s controversial “double-shot” goal.

Leganés is fighting to avoid relegation and is currently winning that battle. With 27 points, they sit in 17th place, just one point above Alavés, meaning any misstep could drop them into the relegation zone. They are coming off a 2-1 loss to Celta but have shown resilience at home, with a win and a draw in their last two matches, earning 17 of their 27 points at their stadium. Munir El Haddadi returns from suspension.
Betis, on the other hand, is in the race for European competition. Sitting in sixth place with 41 points, they currently hold a Conference League spot, but they aim for more and will fight until the end. They are three points behind Villarreal, which has a game in hand, and eight behind Athletic Club. Betis is in excellent form, winning four consecutive matches against Real Sociedad, Getafe, Real Madrid, and Las Palmas.

Sevilla sits mid-table with 36 points, five behind their city rivals, Betis, who currently hold the last European competition spot. It hasn’t been a great season for García Pimienta’s side, but they have been improving, going unbeaten in their previous four matches and losing only once in their last nine, though five of those ended in draws.
Athletic Club is currently winning the battle for a Champions League spot. They sit fourth with 49 points, five ahead of Villarreal, which has a game in hand. However, Bilbao has dropped points recently, first losing 1-0 to Atlético Madrid and then drawing 1-1 at home against Mallorca.

Atlético Madrid faces a crucial match this Sunday. After being eliminated from the Champions League following Julián Álvarez’s heartbreaking penalty, the ‘Colchoneros’ will focus entirely on LaLiga and the Copa del Rey. They are one point behind their current opponent, though, with one more game played. They come into this match after a 2-1 loss to Getafe and will be without Ángel Correa.
Barcelona remains alive in all competitions, having reached the Champions League quarterfinals after eliminating Benfica (4-1), the Copa del Rey semifinals (with the tie against Atlético standing at 4-4), and leading LaLiga with a game in hand. Their last league match was postponed due to the passing of a staff member on the same day.
These teams have already met twice this season, both times at the Olímpic Lluís Companys. Atlético won 1-2 in the league and drew 4-4 in the Copa del Rey, with Alexander Sørloth scoring the decisive goal in stoppage time on both occasions.
Barcelona vs. Atlético Betting Pick: Barcelona
