Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid prediction

Barca are clearly the strongest team in La Liga this season and home win is almost inevitable today. Yet Atletico Madrid are the second best team and should be able to cause some trouble just as usual. Barca almost always suffer accordingly when meeting this defensively oriented opponent and most probably the hosts will not score more than a couple of goals eventhough their obvious might. That said Messi is in top condition and I doubt the guests can prevent a goal of his when Messi is having such an abnormal season so far. Atletico are always eager to hurt this host and this is why I believe goal exchange is very likely event when the title is at stake. Barca are not good in tolerating opposition at home turf and home win 2:1 is a decent prediction for a match of such magnitude.
