Yamal's absence will certainly allow Atletico to play more aggressively. Or at least Barcelona will not be too aggressive on their wings.
We know that Yamal is a good assistant distributor in Barcelona. But even though there is no Yamal in the Barcelona squad, Atletico must also prepare themselves very well to be able to win. Barcelona is not only Yamal, many dangerous players can bury Atletico's chances at the top.

This is an interesting game in the Spanish laliga this weekend. I haven't really give credits to Atletico madrid this season just because of Barce's top performance at the beginning of the season, and Real Madrid's slow start. From Atletico madrid's stats, it's obvious that they been better than Both Barce and R.madrid In terms of game winning. I just checked the Spanish laliga table, and it seems Atletico madrid just found themselves in the second position from nowhere. They're even on same point with Barcelona, who have played more games than them. Which means, Atletico madrid will be traveling to Camp Nou to get a win.

So, judging base on previous recent performance, Atletico madrid might just win this one to extend their lead. Not sure of where Barcelona are currently getting it wrong, but I feel they might still fail to get it right tomorrow. I don't know much about A.madrid's playing style this season, but I think Barce might dominate the game, but Atletico madrid will take the points that matters most. Though, the result can go the other way, because the odds I just saw seems to be favouring Barcelona.

Well, I’m backing Girona to win this one, given their home advantage and Valladolid’s defensive issues this season. Also, based on the stats, Girona has a strong head-to-head record at home against Valladolid. I’m predicting Girona to win, Under 2.5 goals, and Girona (-1) handicap... In general, it will be a narrow win of 1-0 or 2-0 (something like that), but surprises can happen.

Atletico Madrid have consistent performance in this season and success continue six consecutives winning trend in domestic league, I don't think difficult for Atletico Madrid get the first standing place because have opportunity upcoming match against Barcelona. Currently, Barcelona have inconsistent performance after two consecutives matches not winning yet and last match dramatically defeated by Leganes.

Barcelona's favorite player Lamine Yamal have absent for this crucial match against Atletico Madrid due injury getting last match, will out around four weeks later and Barcelona always get difficulty for winning the match without Lamine Yamal. I think great opportunity for Atletico Madrid back to first standing after Madrid and Barcelona have consistent performance in this season and losses many points.

As long as Lewandowski is still productive enough as a striker I don't think Barcelona will throw him away even though he is quite old now Barcelona also needs to find a better replacement and looking for young players may not necessarily be as good as Lewandows, I completely agree with what you said before that age is not a reason for a player to lose to young players, as long as Lewandowski can maintain his stamina and live healthy like Ronaldo I think he is still worthy enough to playing.

• Girona vs Valladolid (BTTS) odds @2.09

We all speculate and certainly predict that Girona will win this match. But what we have to see now is not only about Girona who is far above Valladolid but the results of Girona performance. From 5 matches in all competitions, Girona got 4 consecutive defeats and 1 draw. Well, this makes me doubt that Girona will win easily. Even with the draw being a bonus from the surprise if it happens.

Both teams are in different conditions at the moment, Barcelona is in a slump with bad results in its last few matches while Atletico Madrid is quite consistent with its best performance, regardless of the H2H of both teams and also the overall strength but from what happened in the last few matches can also be used as a reference for this weekend's match.
This will be a difficult match for both teams and the percentage is also the same and I also predict the result of the match later will be a draw, that is quite possible in my opinion considering Barcelona playing at home is certainly also difficult to beat.

Statistically speaking, Barcelona has a better H2H record against Atletico Madrid but considering the current form of both teams in all competitions, it's obvious that Atletico Madrid has a better record. In Atletico Madrid's last 11 games, they've been formidable enough not to lose before going into their league fixture against Barcelona but because Barcelona will be the home team, I expect a difficult game for both teams. My prediction is that the away team in will either get a win a leave Camp Nou with a point.

The match is important for both teams, as the winner will go top of La Liga. Barcelona have been in poor form recently due to injuries, although they have substitutes, they are of lower quality than the main players. It will be difficult for Hansi Flick to win this match, as Atletico Madrid are in great form, winning 11 matches in a row.
Barcelona stats:
Winning in the last 5 La Liga matches against Atletico, clean sheet in the last 4 matches, 12 wins, 4 losses
Atletico stats:
11 wins, 1 loss, the only loss was a 0-1 win against Real Betis, winning in the last 11 matches in a row (6 of them in La Liga)

In fact, I think it would be very risky to bet on Girona's victory in this match even though the bookies are very favoring Girona by only giving odds @1.42 for their victory, but Girona's performance in the last few matches has been very bad, even in the last match the Girona team lost to the Mallorca team who only played with 10 players, and also overall in the last 5 matches the Girona team has not won so I think it is difficult to bet on a team that is currently slumping, expecting them to rise in the match against Valladolid is not something worth betting on.

I think it would be better to bet on over goals in this match, most likely both teams will play openly and attack each other in the match later so that it is possible for many goals to be created.

The match will be a very crucial match for both teams, because whoever wins later will have the right to be at the top of the La Liga standings, Barcelona in poor consistency in recent matches after several of their players were injured, although their have several substitutes to replace those injured, but still the quality of the reserve players they have is not equivalent to the injured main players, I think Hansi Flick task to win the match will be very difficult, because facing Atletico Madrid who are in extraordinary form with 11 consecutive wins, is not an easy thing with the team condition being lame at this time.

• Barcelona have always won in the last 5 matches vs Atletico in La Liga.
• Barcelona have kept a clean sheet in their last 4 matches vs Atletico in La Liga.
• Barcelona have won 12 and lost 4 in La Liga this season (W12 D2 L4, goals 50-20)

• Atletico has won 11 and lost just 1 in La Liga this season (W11 D5 L1, goals 31-11).
• Atletico only defeat in La Liga 2024/2025 so far was 0-1 from Real Betis in week 11
• Atletico have always won in the last 11 matches in all competitions (6 of them in La Liga)

Actually, Barcelona has become a little doubtful lately. Moreover, now Yamal is absent due to injury. And I think this team will encounter problems in the attack line in completing attacks. And yes, I feel that Barcelona will have difficulty playing against Atletico Madrid this time. Even though Barcelona is superior head to head, it is possible that this time Barcelona will lose and make Atletico Madrid take first place temporarily. And if a draw occurs then this will be a loss for both teams. because it is possible that Real Madrid will overtake both of them and succeed in standing at the top for a while.

I don't see a draw in this match especially, if Yamal will not be the on the field. Barcelona hardly put in a good performance when Yamal is not playing, and that has been their problem since Yamal got injured. Atletico is not a club that will love to share point in this match because they want to be the first on the table, and for that reason, they will use the advantage of Barcelona weakness to get all three points.

I don't think Atletico Madrid can take the top spot in the table right now. If Atletico Madrid wants to go to the top of the table and dominate La Liga, they will definitely have to play well against Barcelona in the next match and earn full points. If they can't beat Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid has no chance of dominating La Liga.

On the other hand, Real Madrid is in a pretty good position right now. If the Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid match is a draw, then Real Madrid has a big chance of going to the top of the table. Because Real Madrid is only 1 point behind.

Anyway, I am looking forward to the Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid match. Barcelona's future depends on this match. If Barcelona loses this match, it will be very difficult for Barcelona to regain the top spot in the table. However, I am optimistic about Barcelona winning this match. Because Barcelona has played well against every renowned team this season.

There may have been a dip in recent weeks for Barcelona, ​​and it is only natural that ATM is currently tightening Barcelona in second place with the same points as Barcelona, ​​I strongly agree for Barcelona to improve their points in this week's match to widen their gap with Athletico Madrid, Athletico Madrid's performance is arguably the most stable compared to Barcelona and Real Madrid so it is likely that they can shift Barcelona at the top of the La Liga standings, if Barcelona continues to get bad results it is likely that Athletico Madrid will really shift.

How times changes the most surprising team that am even seeing currently at the top of the table the same points with Bercelona is Athletico Madrid a team that was struggling at the start of the laliga season infact there was a time that fans where calling for the sack of the Coach Diago Simoni , I must say that Simoni has done a good  because currently Athletico Madrid is pairing at  thirty eight points with Barcelona at the top of the league table they are in second place because of superior goal advantage that Barcelona has over them and with the current form of Barcelona and Madrid I see Athletico Madrid going top of the table

With conditions like now, Valencia has the potential to be relegated from Laliga. Because how could it not be, until week 16, Valencia was only able to win 2 matches and this is of course a very bad record for a team like Valencia. Because as far as I know, in the past few seasons Valencia's performance has not been as bad as it is now, the proof is that in the previous season Valencia managed to finish in 9th position in the La Liga. But this season Valencia really can't overcome this poor performance. So for now Valencia must be able to at least bring a draw in every match they will play in the remainder of this season. Because if Valencia continues to experience defeats, perhaps being relegated is something they have to accept.

Apart from that, to overcome this poor performance, I think Valencia must buy several players who have great skills. Because what I see at the moment, Valencia doesn't have the qualified players to be able to compete even more fiercely in Laliga. Because in the last summer transfer market, Valencia did not bring in many new players. For this reason, Valencia's performance has not increased this season, instead it has decreased further. So as much as possible, Valencia must bring in new, better players, and it doesn't need to be expensive players, the most important thing is that they have good potential to complete the squad that Valencia currently has. Because buying expensive players will of course be a bit of a burden on Valencia's finances. So the solution is that Valencia just has to bring in new players, who are cheap, but have quite great abilities.

Valladolid last week has just gets the winning result from Valencia but i don't think they can able to resumes their winning streak today and Girona performance indeed decline compared last season they even most likely will not finish at European zone again and if we see based on the recent performance i have seen Girona have displayed poor performance because in the last 7 matches in all competitions Girona was unable to win but i think Valladolid is easy opponent for them and probably Girona can able to win this match and improved their position on League standing and for betting options the odds for Girona win is low @1.42 but i think it is safe bets and for the scores my prediction is 1-0 or 2-1 for Girona

Okay you may be right but the league title won't be waiting for them till they get back to better performance again. Despite it being that it's Athletico Madrid that's immediately next to Barcelona in the standings my most fear isn't ATM but Real Madrid who are just about 1 point difference from Barcelona, and at a time where Real Madrid aren't also in a good shape with their performance I had expected that Barcelona should have leverage on that to gather more points and increase their strength at the top of the table. Peradventure Real Madrid gets to pick form before Barcelona wakes up the competition is going to be mega hot towards the end of the La'liga season.

You are right because even if Real Madrid entered the second string of players in that game Real Madrid could still win the game and maybe Ancelotti didn't do that because he respects every game even though it's not a trophy to be proud of. Real Madrid are always serious about facing any team and I respect their coach because even though they are facing a much weaker opponent they still fielded their squad as usual even though there were some changes. This is the first trophy of the season and hopefully there will be other trophies that Real Madrid will get this season, either La Liga or the Champions League.
