Barcelona may not have the best players compared to Real Madrid, but Barcelona are currently number one in the points table.  Because Barcelona has a tradition.  which they carry.
Actually, they have Lewandowski and some other big players that actually can really strengthen their performance. But, Xavi may probably still not be able to optimize their power with the most appropriate strategies and tactics. I am sure that Xavi will do his best efforts to bring his team to be in first standing always although that may be difficult. For, we know that Barcelona has failed in the Champions League 16 round stage. So, they must do their best to hold the La Liga Title. However, as you said, this will not be easy because their position is not safe enough. Once they make mistakes and lost, this will make more chances for Real Madrid to take over again the first standing. So, this La Liga right now is becoming more interesting to see because we still don't know which club will win until the end because of the very close gap of points.

Atletico is no longer a stable team like a few years ago. They are unpredictable and also very erratic. There is a considerable chance that they will also have a hard time against Elche. I don't know where things went wrong for Atletico in recent years, they brought Griezman back but Suarez left. The situation around Godin has also had the necessary impact. I actually thought at the start of the season that Atletico Madrid might be an outsider for the title, but there is little evidence of that at the moment. Qualifying for CL and becoming 3rd seems to be the maximum achievable.
Atletico Madrid aren't the same old powerful team as of now indeed.

Simeone has had great years with this team for a long time. Their usual strategies were working very well against even Barcelona and Real Madrid in the league. These two big teams were having really big difficulties against Atletico Madrid in the past. However we are in a different age now. Atletico Madrid are no longer a big threat to both of them. We have all witnessed that by their match against Real Madrid in the league. Real Madrid didn't have big difficulties in defeating them in an away match. I think it will be the same against Barcelona as well.
Agree, now in this season they are having decline in quality which is surely hurting them with having defeats against weaker sides and attack is also not good with defence is also having few laps here now time to bring few changes which must for bringing better results but management and coach both are not doing things for right direction as we are watching Barcelona and Real Madrid maintaining their squad and bringing quality players which giving them better response but sadly here Simeone is not doing any change and his strategy is also now not helping for bringing changes before break they have only one win from their last five games which is surely not good for them hopefully in this break they have better strategy which will help them for having positive changes.

I wonder if Xavi has any plans to change his classical tiki-taka game strategy in the future. It works very well in the La Liga maybe but it is like that only there. We have all seen that it didn't work on Inter and Bayern Munich both in the Champions League group stage. Barcelona were able to get only one point in the four matches in total they played against those two teams. This obsolete strategy doesn't work against big teams in short. They failed hard against Real Madrid in the El Clasico here as well.

Even if they win the La Liga title this season I hope Xavi still thinks about making some changes in his game plan for next season. Otherwise he might experience another disaster in the Champions League which might be the end of his management career at Barcelona.

I don't agree with changing the old tiki-taka game strategy in Barcelona, even if I'm a fan of Barcelona and even if I'm a fan of Xavi but still one good reason for many people to watch the Barcelona matches and enjoy playing their game is the old tiki-taka and many people know tiki-taka just because of Barcelona, but still Barcelona is changing a lot every day after Xavi started working there and he is kinda starting to make his own game strategy instead of using the old techniques, maybe we should give it some time and then they need a great match like el Clasico to see if it's working.

I don't know I think it isn't a good thing for a team to use the same strategies over and over every year. It starts not to work anymore at a point.

For example it is already valid for Atletico Madrid. They are really bad now but Simeone doesn't look like he will make substantial changes in his strategies either. It will most probably end up with his leaving the team or being sacked by them. I wouldn't like to see him here anymore if I was an Atletico Madrid fan as well. I respect his successes with the team but it is obvious that he isn't good for the team anymore. The same thing might happen to Xavi so he should be careful with his preferences.

I agree that Benzema was already healed, he was already training with the team before the world cup ended, and I believe there was even a moment when Ronaldo joined them to stay fresh before the cup ended as well. So, we all knew that Benzema was already healed and ready. Something happened with the team, and there are rumours of not just manager but also a few player names were given about as well.

I guess that it's not going to be a shocker to learn that he is back to form and could score as well on the first game to just get the anger out as well. He was just not wanted there and was sent off, dude could have even come back to watch the final game and rejected it, must be something wrong.

Barcelona may not have the best players compared to Real Madrid, but Barcelona are currently number one in the points table.  Because Barcelona has a tradition.  which they carry.
Barcelona position is not safe in first place because it is only two points different from Real Madrid who is in second place. After Barcelona overhauled their squad to be better than last season, they immediately gave competition to Real Madrid. Barcelona's improvement can pose a threat to Real Madrid for the title this season, Ancelotti will see this as a challenge for him to bring Real Madrid back to first place.

Lol, do you think Lewandowski, Frenkie de Jong and also Jules Kounde and the rest of the players in the Barcelona squad aren't the best players? Then what kind of best player do you mean, because I think having Lewandowski in the Barcelona squad is enough that Barcelona has the best players and basically Barcelona has a luxurious squad right now. Also, basically after Barcelona chose Xavi as Barcelona coach, Xavi could quickly restore Barcelona's best form, especially in La Liga.
So even though the competition between Real Madrid and Barcelona has just happened this season, but Barcelona's performance has increased from last season, where Barcelona still doesn't have the luxury squad it currently has.

I'm surprised if you say Barcelona doesn't have the best players, because it's even very clear that in the early season transfer market, many have even considered the luxurious squad that Barcelona has. Even some of the names in the current Barcelona squad, some of the names among them at the start of the season could not be played immediately due to problems with registration and the high costs involved.
So yes, with the luxurious squad that Barcelona currently has, I personally think that Barcelona has many of the best players in its current squad which, of course, they will be able to compete in the title race with Real Madrid.

I agree, im not seeing any advantages for real Madrid against Barcelona for the title and sometimes i think Barcelona is the favor, I don't really understand why people think it's hard for Barcelona to get the title even with all the players they have and the coach xavi that was able to recover some Barcelona prestige in la Liga, also the team already lost the hope for the champoins league so i think they will put all efforts in la Liga

In the game between Barcelona and Espanyol, bookmakers give the following odds:

1,26 - 6,60 - 11,00

And I would say that even with Lewandowski out of the picture, the bet for Barcelona to win looks obvious (although I don't like small odds).
With Valladolid and Real Madrid, everything is less obvious, but I also prefer to bet on the favorite:

6,20 - 4,80 - 1,49
After break now we are heading for the next half of this season which is surely going to be tough for these two teams because both are strong contender for the title with have quality players and first matches are going to play against weaker sides specially Barcelona is having derby match with mostly these are never been easy but as odds are given by Bookmakers things looking easy for the both teams Xavi and Ancelotti both are preparing their teams and players with most chances things could be not challenging in early matches because after long rest most of the players will be fresh, and they are ready for giving their best which will increase their teams chances for the title race in this season.

I don't see Barcelona Winning the title at the end of the season, Madrid are favorite to win. Because by January Barcelona might lose some good players because of their financial issues in the club.
Who? Until now I have not found any news about the Barcelona players.
There are some that are on their sales list like Depay and Franck Kessie but it's like selling some cargo that they don't really need. As for Busquets and Alba, whose contracts are ending soon, I think they will be allowed to be free agents, especially for Busquets, whose contract will expire in June.

Well, both matches are important because they involve FC Barcelona and Real Madrid, of course, but they are indeed two games that are not very interesting to see taking into account their corresponding rivals.
Much more interesting, to me, will be the ones played by Betis, Athletic Bilbao, Osasuna and Real Sociedad, as their results could sentence their fate in the second half pf La Liga. But to each his own.
There is a point too, seeing Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​of course, La Liga will only be competition for these two. But look at Real Sociedad, Athletic Bilbao, Real Betis, Osasuna and don't forget Atletico Madrid, all of them have a narrow distance of just 1 to 2 points to shift each other's position in the top 4 standings.
That's right, but I didn't mention Atlético de Madrid on purpose because they won't play against the other teams I was talking about. These five teams, and a few more, compete for the medium to high positions, and the competition is fierce sometimes, and this is what I expect for this weekend.

Barcelona and Real Madrid are relatively weak opponents. So I don't think they will have any problem to win. I am looking forward to watching the performances of Atletico Madrid, Rayo Vallecano, Sociedad, and Athletic Club. Because Barcelona and Real Madrid are fighting for the title of La Liga, but several teams are fighting to qualify for the Champions League. So it is difficult for the teams to be in the top four of the points table.

God is great
This week seems to be like a chance for Atletico Madrid to get a comfortable win and take a deep breath. Because Elche are like the worst team in the league at the moment. Besides Atletico Madrid have a very dominant history against Elche as well. It's like all the variables are showing that Atletico Madrid must win this comfortably.

However I still doubt whether a win here would be helpful for them to have a better season from now on. Because Simeone's old tactics don't work much anymore.
It will be easy win for Atletico Madrid to be in the third position. This season the result of Elche has been so poor,  Elche have not won any game in this season,  they only manage to have four draws in their games in this season.

 Atletico Madrid playing against Elche is a good opportunity to achieve a full point. The third position will be a place where Atletico bilbao, Real Sociedad and Atletico Madrid will be completing to maintain.

The length of time Simeone has been at Atletico Madrid has made other teams aware of what kind of gameplay he has always played. I don't want to try to say that Diego Simeone is poor in strategy, but when repeatedly implementing different strategies, sooner or later the opponent will realize the strategy he always applies.
This match should have been a win for them against an opponent that couldn't be said to be tough like Elche.

I think so many teams are currently facing the same thing, and so was football meant to be. No matter how long a team maintains progression, a season of degression must come someday. Even in EPL, clubs like Manchester united, Liverpool, and Chelsea, have maintained good team and as well good result for the past couple of years , but now they are struggling to meet up their required tax. May be the greener days of Athletico Madrid have past, they just need to revitalize the team a little bit and they will be back to their previous state

The match between Barcelona and Espanol is going to be an easy one for them. This is because they seem to be in control of the game under Xavi's leadership, and I believe they could win easily. In spite of the fact that they are first in the league table at the moment, we need to take into account the fact that Real Madrid have played one less game than them. If Real Madrid win their next game, then they will be on top of the table. They will be one point ahead of Barcelona at the end of the current round. There is no doubt that we will be able to witness some fierce competition between these two league giants for the league title.

In the game between Barcelona and Espanyol, bookmakers give the following odds:

1,26 - 6,60 - 11,00

At Barca, there are young talented players like Gavi Pedri Rafinha Raphinha.  Which is capable of scoring goals in addition to NiwandeiskiLewandowski.  So it is expected that Barca will not lose points at home.
My advice you should try to memorize the player's name lol.
Even if there are several players you mentioned, losing Lewandowski is still a problem. Indeed, in this case Barcelona has many real opportunities but this is not a guarantee that they can win even though they are favorites because their opponent is in a bad condition because this could also be surprising in terms of results
There is no doubt we can face shocking results and any team can lost any match but now after having the best performance in first half of the season we are going to watch first match between Barcelona vs Espanyol at Camp Nou most chances they are not going to lose even I have feeling they will destroy them badly and won by nearly margin of two or three goals because this is important to keep their gape from second spotted team Real Madrid which is also having injuries issues looking for take back first spot.

Robert Lewandowski is currently a key player for them and his absence can hurt them badly, but this can happen against strong teams with they can handle these weaker sides without any problem.
Regardless of the small or big team, this match is also often called the derby and seeing from their condition last season in the 2 meetings that were held ended with 1 narrow win for Barcelona and a draw with a score of 2-2 so I think this can also be a reference even though it is currently Barcelona have different strengths especially for their attack line but this does not mean they can immediately win easily.
The chance is still very big but if I say the worst possibility, I think surprises can still happen.

finally we are back to games and tomorrow will be very interesting games

Girona - Rayo Vallecano

for this game Girona comes with 2 wins, 2 draws and only 1 loss in the last 5 games, and in their last game they managed to win, meanwhile their opponent Rayo Vallecano comes for this game with 3 wins and 2 draws in the last 5 games, and in their last game they managed only a draw, I would say that Rayo Vallecano in this game will be facing a very difficult opponent for them

Betis - Ath. Bilbao

Betis comes to this game with 2 defeats, 2 draws and 1 wins, and in their last game Betis lost, while their opponent Ath. Bilbao comes into this game with 2 wins, 2 losses and 1 draw, but in their last game they got a win, so Ath. Bilbao will be more motivated to win this game, I think they won this game

Atletico Madrid - Elche

Atletico madrid comes to this game with 2 defeats, 2 draws and only 1 victory, and in their last game they lost, they are going through a very bad phase, while their opponent is even worse than them, because they come to this game with 4 defeats and 1 draw, it has a sequence of 3 defeats, so there is room for Atletico madrid to win this game

After Messi's departure, Barcelona have regrouped and are still trying to get sharper.  On the other hand, Real Madrid's players are already well-deserved to win the title.
Real Madrid has always been able to place itself as the favorite to win the title, even though many people doubt it. Like in the Champions League, for example, some people even think they won because of luck. And the question is how much luck did they have that made them champions with the team they beat last season? Real Madrid has a mentality above the average that other teams have. That's what makes them silence people who doubt them.

real madrid has always been a very strong team, i still can't understand why some people doubt that when they just watch real madrid games and the great quality of real madrid players, we don't have great players. the fans of barcelona and who still have this doubt that we will always be the best
Barcelona may not have the best players compared to Real Madrid, but Barcelona are currently number one in the points table.  Because Barcelona has a tradition.  which they carry.
