Barcelona had the chance of their lives to overtake Atletico and Real Madrid in Round 34, but they succumbed to the pressureandsuffered a shocking 2-1 defeat to Granada. This time, they will have another chance, exceptthey don’t have any other choice but to winon Sunday if the Blaugrana want to keep fighting for the La Liga title.

Of course, it won’t be easy with their head coach Ronald Koemanbeing ruled out of the matchup after receiving a red cardinthe Granada loss. With the Bats being far from their prestigious years this campaign, and Barcelona having to keep their title hopes alive,thismightbe the chance for us to see some more goals. Thus,betting that the gameendsin a 3-1 win for Barca could be a sure bet, at +850, a $100 bet could earn the bettor $850.If you got to pick anyone to put the ball in the back of the net in this game look no further thanLionel Messi,as heis at +180 to bethe first one to score.
