Barcelona and Atletico Madrid face each other, from 22:00, in the derby of the 19th round of LaLiga. The match will be televised by Prima Sport 1 and Digi Sport 1.
FC Barcelona welcome the visit of Atletico Madrid in a duel where both teams are in excellent form.
FC Barcelona – Atletico and Athletic Bilbao – Real Madrid are the only La Liga games scheduled this week.
The reason? Round 19 was scheduled for January 7-11, but the four teams involved (Barcelona, Atletico, Real, Athletic Bilbao) will be participating in the Spanish Super Cup during that period.
For Hansi Flick's team, victory would have a double value: it would leave the Rojiblancos six points behind and stay above Real Madrid, who travel to San Mames on Wednesday at 20:00 after three consecutive draws.

Barcelona – Atletico Madrid, in the derby of the LaLiga round
For the colchoneros, getting the three points at Spotify's Camp Nou would mean provisionally going top, pending the result of Xabi Alonso's side against Athletic tomorrow.
In LaLiga, Barça has a series of good results, which allowed them to return to the top of the table in the last stage. However, he needs to solve the problem of matches against strong teams. This season, the Catalans have lost to PSG, Real Madrid and Chelsea.
In domestic competition, Flick's team is unbeaten at home: they have 7 wins in 7 matches. Atletico are in excellent form. They have won 11 of their last 13 matches and are on a seven-game winning streak. In addition, they have improved away from home with two consecutive wins without conceding a goal.
The match promises, no doubt! The confrontations between the two teams guaranteed the show in the previous matches. Last season ended with a 4-2 for Barça in Madrid, a 2-1 for Atletico at Montjuic, decided by Sorloth in extra time, and a 4-4 in the Cup, which had everything.
