Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid live stream, TV channel, lineups, and betting odds for La Liga clash

La Liga leaders Barcelona face a key title test this weekend as they host Diego Simeone's in-form Atletico Madrid at the Camp Nou.

Here's all the key information on the match, including kickoff time, live streaming and TV channels, lineups, and betting odds.

Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid confirmed lineups

Key midfield duo Pedri and Frenkie de Jong are back in the Barcelona squad, following injury lay-offs, with Xavi opting to start Dutch schemer de Jong.

Barcelona starting XI: Ter Stegen (GK) — Kounde, Araujo, Alonso, Balde — Gavi, Busquets, de Jong — Raphinha, Lewandowski, Torres

Former Barcelona striker Memphis Depay has been ruled out with a muscle strain, with Marcos Llorente and Geoffrey Kondogbia serving one-game bans for Atletico.

Another former Barca player, Antoine Griezmann leads the visitors' attack, with Thomas Lemar replacing Llorente in midfield.

Atletico Madrid starting XI: Oblak (GK) — Molina, Gimenez, Savic, Hermoso, Carrasco —  De Paul, Witsel, Lemar — Correa, Griezmann

Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid prediction betting odds

This clash is unlikely to have a major impact on the title race, regardless of the final result, given Barcelona are already well clear of both Real and Atletico Madrid at the top.

However, their recent struggles when it comes to scoring goals will be a boost for an Atletico side who are on good form. Coach Simeone has lost just once on his last three league trips to the Camp Nou.
