Atletico are top - but GR88.com is backing Barcelona for La Liga

It wasn’t that long ago that people had ruled Barcelona out of contention for La Liga, but Spain's reigning champions can now seal an unlikely title with a win against league leaders Atletico Madrid, and GR88.com makes them favourites to achieve that feat.

Atleti are top of the table going into the final game, but that game is at Camp Nou against a Barcelona side just three points behind. The 0-0 draw between the two sides in January means victory for Tata Martino's Barça would see them named champions on the strength of their head-to-head record.

The hosts are 1.78 favourites for victory with GR88.com bookmakers, with Atletico 4.20. Diego Simeone's side will know that a draw will see them named champions, and you can back that result at 3.55.

A few hundred miles west, another big game will be taking place at England's famous Wembley Stadium, as Arsenal take on Hull City in the FA Cup Final.
