LaLiga games continue and we look forward to today's game. We have made available some enticing odds for the LaLiga match between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.

Atletico Madrid have been really impressive in recent games. They have won eight of their last ten games in all competitions. They are currently second in the league table and will be looking to maintain that position till the end of the season.

Espanyol on the other hand have struggled in recent weeks which has left them wallowing in the relegation battle. They are currently 19th in the league table and have just two wins in their last ten games.

Alvaro Morata to score

Alvaro Morata has been one of the best players in Atletico Madrid this season. He has scored 13 league goals and has contributed to their good running. We have tipped Morata to get a goal for his team in this encounter even though it's going to be a very tight game due to the fact that Espanyol needs a point to move out of the relegation zone.
