The top three teams have been impressive in their own ways, with Barcelona scoring 64 goals and averaging a young starting XI, but struggling against top teams. Atlético Madrid have been defensively sound, conceding the fewest goals and keeping the joint-most clean sheets, with a strong home record. Real Madrid's experience and consistency have put them in the lead, but the title is still up for grabs.
The Opta supercomputer predicts Real Madrid to win the title in 52% of simulations, with Barcelona in 27% and Atlético Madrid in 21%.
