Madrid was dominating the match against celta vigo. The statistic of real madrid is showing how real madrid owned by huge ball possessions and it was also making more chances compared with celta vigo. The result from this match is very easy to be predicted.
According to what I predicted before, that Real Madrid would score 2 goals in this match. but that is very reasonable, because the two teams have a very different gap. plus, Celta always falls based on H2H history over Madrid. as a result, Madrid secured its position plus reduced the distance of points from the top standings.
I think that we are still waiting for the match between barcelona vs athletico madrid. This is a hard game for barcelona at this moment. Athletico madrid may also able to take full points from barcelona at this moment consider athletico madrid was also a very good club in la liga at this moment.
Atlhletico madrid is also in the best performance caused by it was able consistently winning the game right now. Athletico madrid is still getting win streak against another team too.
This becomes a huge challenge by barcelona. Barcelona had 8 points gap to the real madrid right now. Losing against villareal will put the position of barcelona in unsafe condition.
It's caused by real madrid becomes a threat to take the spot anytime.
Well, talking about this fight, it looks like the match will be quite exciting. especially in this match, Barcelona will play as the home team. playing at Camp Nou, should be a strong boost and motivation to get back on track with victory. because, if Barcelona continues to produce minor results in this match. that means, Barcelona provides an opportunity for Madrid to continue to reduce the point difference between these two teams. that is, they have to win three points in the match over Atletico.
if, I refer to the line-up that Barcelona will lower. it looks like De Jong is ready to play again even though his status is still in doubt, as well as Dembele and Pedri. but even if they were, they were only played at the last minute.
On the other hand, Atletico's recent performance has been quite impressive. from 11 matches in La Liga, they did not experience defeat. although two of those matches ended in a draw. so, this battle is expected to feature some interesting performances from both teams. however, my estimation is that Barcelona will win the battle, but on condition that De Jong plays as the main starter in this match.
