The top two teams in the Spanish La Liga meet on Saturday for the first time this season at Vicente Calderon Stadium. The two teams are tied for the number one spot with 49 points, and are 5 points ahead of third place Real Madrid, which makes this a very important match for both teams.

Diego Costa has led the way for Atletico Madrid, and is currently having the best season of his career, scoring 19 goals so far this season. He is one goal behind La Liga leading scorer Cristiano Ronaldo who has 20 goals this season. Barcelona star Lionel Messi scored two goals in his return from injury to help his side pull out a 4-0 victory against Getafe in the Copa del Ray. The team did well in his absence but is one of the most dangerous clubs in the world when he is in the lineup.

Atletico Madrid-Barcelona Prediction

Atletico has an opportunity to create a little distance between the two teams with a victory in their stadium, Lionel Messi's return to the lineup is the difference maker, and will lead Barcelona to at least a draw.
