La Liga: Atletico Madrid v Barcelona
All eyes would have been on Luis Suarez at the Wanda Metropolitana Stadium this Saturday in what would have been his first game against his former club. Unfortunately for manager Diego Simeone, the forward who already has five goals this season will miss the match due to a positive coronavirus test.
Atletico sit third in the table with 17 points and are unbeaten in the last five outings. Felix, the young and exciting Portuguese forward will be looking to cash in on Barcelona’s recent poor form and add to his five-goal tally, two of which came in Atletico’s last game a 4-0 win against Cadiz.
Barcelona put a stop to their poor start to the season in their last match with a 5-2 thumping against Real Betis. With only 11 points on the board and one win in five, manager Ronald Koeman will be without midfield duo Busquets and Couthino and will be hoping the four-goal teenager Ansu Fati and talisman Lionel Messi can help Barca prove the bookmakers wrong who have Atletico as favourites to win.
Serie A: Napoli v AC Milan
Serie A leaders AC Milan take on third-place Napoli in Italy’s standout game of the weekend. The Rossoneri are unbeaten in the last five yet could only manage a draw against Verona in their last match at the San Siro. Manager Stefano Pioli will be missing defender Andrea Conti and forward Ante Rebic. However, Serie A top scorer Zlatan Ibrahimovic, with eight goals already this season, will be fit to give Napoli a test and hope to continue his prolific start to the season.
Napoli travel to Milan knowing a win would take them level on points with the leaders. Striker Victor Osimhen will be sorely missed with a long term injury. For the second time in a month, Napoli have been hit with a positive coronavirus test. The latest coming for defender Elseid Hysaj whilst on international duty for Albania this week.
