Their current tactic with tiki taka is actually very good because Xavi indirectly returns to their legendary old tactics which had rarely been seen in Barcelona for several seasons.
But this will be a little difficult with Atletico's quiet condition always with their defense which is actually quite annoying even though until now this defense is still easy to penetrate.
I think it's a narrow win for Barcelona and the 3 points will still be earned regardless of their previous performance against Espanyol.

It was a very nice odd to have bet on Cadiz to win this match but the fear of losing will not allow so many people to place the bet. Analysis already shows that Cadiz is currently on form. They have lost just once since the start of the season's second half and it's enough to expect a tough match against Valencia. so many fouls committed and many yellow cards received by both sides. Even with Valencia's dominant nature, I knew they won't be able to equalize the match. Cuz right from the first half, luck wasn't on their side.

The game is in the final minute and Cadiz is not letting Valencia share points with them since they are keeping them away from their box, I think Cadiz deserved to win this game tonight because they have been the better team regardless of the home team regardless having more control of the game as it is clearly seen in their possession of 75 against  25. At the end of the game Cadiz will be motivated to put up more good performance because this away winning will increase the morale of the team and they will likely show a better performance in their next match hopefully they will have a good result too.

Not only were they unlucky, but their game was less than optimal and good. They only had ball possession but were unable to take advantage of opportunities to attack properly so they lost quite a lot of balls while attacking. Their front line is not optimal here, in fact, they tried 11 shots but were completely inaccurate, only wasting the ball in the opponent's area. This time the game was over and Cadiz won by winning 0-1 from Valencia. What a disappointing result for Valencia.

It is very ironic when you see Seville's condition. Even though it's still the middle of the season, it seems like they don't have the fighting spirit anymore to at least get out of the relegation zone. It's really very unfortunate, Sevilla is not a fake team, in fact, they are usually in the top flight, but this season is really dilapidated. For some reason, the management still hasn't tried to make some changes to this club and save it from the relegation zone. Really sad

Valencia was not lucky enough in the match against cadiz. It's cadiz who surprisingly making the goal against valencia and win the game while cadiz was nothing but valencia seems not lucky enough in the match. I think that we will see cadiz will be slowly going up again. Im so glad to see that cadiz was holding the game properly even though valencia was having 75% ball possessions but luck was playing a lot in this case. Valencia must let cadiz to take the full points from the team. That was making cadiz to get a better position. Cadiz was going out from the relegation zone slowly

Cadiz is holding on to their one goal lead, if they can be able to hold Valencia until the end of 90minutes they will be going home with all three points tonight. Valencia have been sloppy , they  created quite some chances and have failed to convert them, on the other hand Cadiz have been impressive defensively. Cadiz have a better record than valencia in their last 5 games for both teams. I think Cadiz have a better chance to win this game than Valencia, Valencia will have to do more to come back into this game.

I also paid attention to these (as it seems to me erroneous) odds and I think that this is an easy bet on Real. As good as Villarreal is with weak teams (although even here they fail sometimes as we can see) playing against a motivated Real Madrid which have the same number of points as Barcelona is completely different. I would rate 1.85-1.9 odds as worth betting, but the bookies give even more generous odds.

I'm not talking about Real Madrid or Barcelona in this case because really they don't need to be mentioned anymore because we certainly know that every season only 3 teams are always active in the Champions League, namely Madrid, Atelico and Barcelona. But my focus is still on Sevilla and I think their drop which you think is a bit natural is not too natural for me. For 3 consecutive seasons they have always been in 4th place but now they are really struggling in the relegation zone and this is not normal for a club that was actually strong in the previous 3 seasons.

Of course this made Valencia a little surprised because of Cadiz's early goal in the 9th minute. Meanwhile, until now in the 65th minute, Valencia has not been able to reply to Cadiz's goal. This is interesting because, however, Valencia actually played an attacking game and quite dominated the ball possession from Cadiz. But on the other hand, it is less accurate in the line of attack and wastes many opportunities and does not emphasize strong attacks. Not to mention that Cadiz is also strengthening the defense so they hope not to concede a goal and maintain the advantage until the end.

Right now, I can't believe that Sevilla will do anything to deal with this situation. The chances of them losing this match again are high in my opinion as I predicted that they would lose this match in the first place. In my opinion, they are a much better team than Getafe, and I do not disagree with that statement. But this season, it is really hard to believe. Another thing is that they are in the relegation zone right now.

Sevilla, in my opinion, is the one that is aiming for a draw in this match and I think they will try their hardest. I actually do not think that they have the confidence to go for a win in this match.

You're right, at the start of the season all teams have the chance to perform quite well but after a few matches are finished they play it will be seen which team is able to maintain their consistency in every match, barcelona and Real madrid always at the forefront of Laliga in the hunt for titles and are hard to break  by another team. Atletico Madrid and the team under it are not strong enough to get rid of the dominance of Barcelona and Real Madrid at the top of the Laliga standings. Real Betis, who appeared to be more brilliant at the start of this season, but slowly their performance has decreased because they are unable to provide stronger resistance when they have to face big teams.

El Clasico is always a very complicated match in the final results, because these two teams are equally strong and sometimes the final result is a draw, but seeing the first meeting this season, Barcelona has lost to Real Madrid. even that was the first defeat during the match that has been played by barcelona this season in Laliga. I think Xavi is not only thinking about this 1 match to improve because 1 match will not produce anything for them, Xavi must be able to present an interesting game in every match they play no matter the big team or the weak team. because the additional 3 points are very meaningful to pursue in order to maintain the hope of becoming Laliga champions this season.

Cadiz team surprised Valencia with an early goal by alcaraz in the 9th minute, after that Valencia didn't create many opportunities to score and they still didn't shoot goal, the first half ia just finished and i wonder what will be the changes that Gattuso will do to make more creativity in the offensive line, Valencia is very far away from the top teams and losing this match will make any European spot almost impossible

In general, yes, it all depends on the point of view, but what I meant was that sometimes after the first games of the season, the outsider teams are in the top 3 and go down in the standings during the season, which is basically typical for them. What I see now in the standings can hardly be called a hard fight. It is only between Barcelona and Real Madrid and perhaps between Atletico and Real Sociedad, I think the others will slowly lose points during the season

I forgot about this match so I didn't have time to make a bet for Celta Vigo, because basically I also don't doubt Celta Vigo in this match. But in this match Celta Vigo is not very good in ball possession because Elche got the better ball possession, and I think both teams to score goals deserve to happen in this match.
Because in reality Elche also didn't play badly in the match so even though Celta Vigo still won, I think Elche can score goals.

But yes, so far this season Elche has been weak to be able to convert opportunities into goals, so it's not surprising that even though Elche was able to win in ball possession, the final result was that Elche still didn't have a goal.
With this defeat, of course, it will become increasingly difficult for Elche to get out of the relegation zone, and it seems that Elche will indeed be relegated at the end of this season because Elche's points at this moment are very low and it is difficult to catch points above it.

Elche are like running to a new record or something like that now.    Because they still have 0 win after leaving 16 matches behind in the season. I still don't understand how Atletico Madrid weren't very comfortable against them at all. Anyway Elche are surely going down to the second league by the end of the season. They are already far away from the border of the relegation field now. The players must be very demotivated after so many poor results and it will be very hard for them to save themselves.

I just hope that Sevilla don't become one of the relegated teams together with Elche. Sevilla have skilled players in the squad and all they need is some improvement in their mental condition.

The match between Elche and Celta Vigo today was more than I expected. seeing the condition of the teams attacking each other in this match is very good and I like games like this because their strengths are indeed comparable.
Celta Vigo's advantage at the start of the first half did not change until the end of the match, even though I didn't drop my bet in this match, this match was really worth watching.

Elche at the bottom with only 4 points. Rarely have I seen a team score as few points as Elche this season. Are they really that bad? Maybe it's lucky for Sevilla that they won't be last in any case and that the teams above don't have many points ahead. Sevilla may be performing the worst in the club's history, but what about Valencia? Once a regular participant in the CL is now only a moderate 10th place. Tomorrow Villareal will play at home against Real Madrid, not an easy game for Madrid at all. You can easily run into a defeat at Villareal. Benzema is fit again, that will make a difference for the Madrilenians.

Sometimes football leaves us in a very confused state. Making predictions and seeing an entirely different result. Initially, I knew Real Betis will have a win against Ibiza, but before the end of the first 20 minutes I felt threatened as the game went in a different direction from my expectation to my greatest surprise, I never knew the match will have such a result at the end of the 90 minutes. I believe more surprises will be coming from the Copa Del Rey.

There are enough match to play for both team. It is true that only win is not the result for any team. Match can end with draw or loss as match condition, team combination, situation differ. Both team have chance to secure first position. Continuous winning record can end by facing one team with another one. Let's wait some more match to see the standing.

It is a bit surprising to me the fact that today are played a few matches, taking into account that January the sixth is one of the most important holidays in the country (Día de Reyes). It is like playing in Christmas Day. No important matches, anyway, but it is still surprising.

Back on topic, if anyone has followed my comments in this thread in the last weeks/months, he or she will notice that I usually defend Xavi and Barça. But this time I'm not sure whether they will be able to beat, or even draw Atlético de Madrid in their next appointment.
