the Real Madrid vs Valladolid match and the Barcelona vs Espanyol match seem a bit easy to predict. because the match should be a fairly easy game for Barcelona and Real madrid. But I am a little interested in the match between Villareal vs Valencia. Villareal is ranked 9th in the standings with 21 points acquired. while Valencia is ranked 10th in the standings with 19 points acquired. I think this match will be a little interesting. and it will also be a fierce match. but what's unique is that when Villareal fights Valencia, the match always ends with one of them losing or winning and rarely a draw.

Since the teams will be playing after a long time, I would say that even if the opponent is weak, it will not be easy for them to win. Valladolid and Espanyol are relatively weak teams. However, Madrid and Barcelona are likely to drop points in this match if they don't perform carefully.

Villarreal and Valencia are only two points apart. Both teams will want to climb to the top of the table. And so this match is very important for both the teams. But I think Villarreal will win against Valencia. Because it is their home match. And Villarreal have won their last 3 home matches against Valencia.

Villarreal ahead rather than Valencia, friendly matches have also been going quite well so far for Villarreal when compared to Valencia. Also this match will be held at the Estadio de la Cerámica at home Villarreal get high advantage in this match later, so I agree with your opinion Villarreal can win and got three points. But in my opinion the most interesting match is the Real Betis vs Athletic Club, both have the same points and they will try to win.

Indeed, it was blamable Lewandowski's behaviour, and the consequences of his acts will have impact for sure in the next matches played by FC Barcelona. Taking into account their situation (they can't hire new players), they should be more careful with what they do and the implicit dangers.

If you look at the card statistics Lewandoski received, he actually got a red card quite rarely. If I'm not mistaken, he only received 3 red cards during his time as a professional footballer. Even at Bayern Munich it seems that he has never received a Red Card.
If you realize at that time it turned out that not only Lewandowski was expelled, it turned out that Pique was also due to strong protests. Jesus Gil Manzano is notoriously assertive, I read if he has even indeed issued a lot of red cards in the matches he leads.

Bilbao are currently in a fairly good position. They have had consistency in their play and have secured many consecutive match wins. Everyone in the team is united to do well and hope they show more great performances in the future.

Actually, if you look at the current conditions, I feel that their consistency is a little faded and it can be seen in the last 5 matches that they have run, even though they are still good enough for them with 2 wins, 2 losses and 1 draw, but this also proves that they are faltering now.
On the other hand, judging from their position, they are also currently collecting the same points and I don't think it is too appropriate to say that Bilbao is better in terms of position because they are winning from goal productivity only now.

No doubt about their position but now things looking tricky for them specially after break because they are going to visit Betis which is also looking for the better spot and have good chance to beat them in this home match and replace their spot with most chances Atlético Madrid which was struggling badly before break now bring improvement and have good result against bottom side Elche which will give them again higher rank which they lost and now having fifth rank just because of goal difference because now we have three teams with same point and most chances things could be tough for these all four teams which are fighting for the two spots which allow them for having chance to be joined Champions League in next season.

Here all four teams are facing bad time and have same level performance which is not good because suddenly losing too many matches are not good for them and now in coming round mostly are facing each other which will also bring good difference in points and changes in ranks as well.

Still the first game after the break is going to be a bit of a hassle and I'm pretty sure in this game a tight score or maybe even a draw for the final result is inevitable.
Even though both teams are on a not-so-good trend after an impressive start to the season so they need points now to be able to further the competition from other teams and to make their position more comfortable.

14 matches scoring 33 goals and conceding 5 goals actually their defense is not bad either, but when their core squad leaves one by one this is not so good for Barcelona.
Indeed, in this case they are still very good but maybe it will be a little different if their condition in terms of injured players is like before, especially now that there are already several who will leave in their defense.
I think for now maybe it won't be too influential in terms of defense, but if you keep letting it go it won't be too good.

Stability. One more job for xavi to become a lifetime manager for barcelona is to make the club back in stability being on top chasing trophies every season and then he could be considered as great as pep guardiola , especially if he found great talents like messi in la masia.

Never easy job to take barcelona back on track and so far he did it great!

I think this is still very far, chasing Pep at Barcelona is definitely not just a title of coach because Xavi has to try even harder than now and even then I'm still skeptical of Xavi.
At this time, even indirectly, there are still many who say that he is a very good coach, but we cannot hide the fact that he is currently under threat in his coaching position.
The conditions are still uncertain for the title at the moment and the exit from the Champions League exacerbates it when they need a good performance.

It looks like Barcelona's appeal of a three-game suspension for Lewandowski has been finally dismissed. He will have to miss all three games, including the away game against Atlético. If Atlético doesn't fail again or something extraordinary happens, I think that Barcelona will score a maximum of one point in this game. If Real don't lose points, then we will again see equality in the first two places in the standings.

Previously, what problem did Lewandowski have that caused him to be suspended for 3 matches? I haven't heard any news about him today. The away match against Atletico Madrid will certainly be a crucial match considering that Barcelona must win this match if Real Madrid does not want to shift its position at the top of the standings.

In the game with Osasuna, Lewandowski received two yellow cards -> they turned into a red card and he was sent off. When he left the field, he showed a disrespectful gesture towards the referee. The disciplinary committee for this violation gave him three games of disqualification. I would say that Lewandowski acted unprofessionally in this case.

I don't think Xavi will have that heart to offload old players who played with him and achieved so much then,to him he will them as the legends of Barca and are also his friends,so he will find it difficult. This is one of the major reason Barca is in this shape. Xavi is not competent to be the club coach due to this weakness. Barca needs young players that will play and understand themselves to make a good club.

There is nothing the Barcelona management can do because Xavi is currently under contract to coach Barcelona until June 2024. Meanwhile, if Barcelona wants to replace him immediately, it will have to spend a lot of money on severance pay for Xavi, further deteriorating the club's financial situation. At least Xavi still has time to make changes and try to get lucky with his achievements to bring Barcelona back to being the best again in the field of football.

I also agree with what you said, because replacing Xavi with another coach in the middle of the season like now will not be very good for the Barcelona team, so the Barcelona team itself must keep Xavi at least according to the time of Xavi's contract, and after that the team management Barcelona can see and assess how Xavi and the team have performed while training Barcelona. After all, this season Barcelona is also not looking bad in La Liga, so there is no story to replace him in the middle of the season.

After all, what is the reason for changing coaches in the middle of a season like this, even though they haven't really returned to the Barcelona we used to know, slowly I can say that Xavi Hernandez has been quite successful in bringing Barcelona to improve from their downturn last season. And also whether replacing it will give the expected performance? I think there is no guarantee for that. So keeping Xavi is a good move for now.

In my opinion, Xavi is terrible as a coach and even if by some miracle he gets a super team at his disposal (as happened with Guardiola who got the golden team of Spain) with which he will receive titles, this will not be proof that he is perfect. To consider a coach great, you need to see his strategy, his flexibility (and not "put together a top team and play only plan A") and of course confirmation of his status in different clubs. I think Xavi is cosmically far from it.

There is nothing the Barcelona management can do because Xavi is currently under contract to coach Barcelona until June 2024. Meanwhile, if Barcelona wants to replace him immediately, it will have to spend a lot of money on severance pay for Xavi, further deteriorating the club's financial situation. At least Xavi still has time to make changes and try to get lucky with his achievements to bring Barcelona back to being the best again in the field of football.

Barcelona can terminated his contract anytime. The decision owned by the management. Barcelona didn't need to spend a lot of money to get a new coach. Signing a new coach will be far cheaper compared with buying the players. I think that barcelona's management must think about once xavi will get another bad achievement and he must be sacked. Barcelona has been using everything to follow his instruction but once barcelona will get nothing at the end of season and lporta shall sack him as soon as possible.
That means id xavi has not even had competence to be a barcelona's coach again.

Looking at their recent 5 matches, one can easily tell that Barcelona and Real Madrid may easily win those matches and not just that alone, they are both teams that are currently leading on the table, they are good structurally to beat Valladolid and Espanyol but I am just concerned that the past record is just small margin, Barcelona and Real Madrid couldn't give them much goals which mean they were always difficult for them, just that they always come true, who knows this time, they wouldn't succeed like they used to? judging from the goals they scored against them, at least Espanyol wouldn't struggle from relegation eviction.

The team has a lot of players, but only a few are playing very rarely. In addition to selling unused players, Barcelona will enhance the teams' rosters by introducing young midfielders and defenders. Sergio Busquets won many titles for Barcelona. There was a time when he was one of the best midfielders at Barcelona. However, you need to move on to better options. If this continues, I don't think Barcelona has a chance to be champions. With these Catalan councils of elders, Barcelona could not win trophies. Signing players who are younger and better would have been a good move for Barcelona.

I think it's clear that they are not really great at getting rid of players that easily. I mean we have seen them keep players, even players that gets high salaries as well for a long time and unfortunately they just can't get rid of them.

I personally believed that Pique should have been gone during the summer and not during middle of the season, Busquets the same way, and plenty others. If they can get rid of these players and not pay them as well, so it is not just firing but mutual agreement, then we could had some decency for sure. In any case, I believe that it will get better next summer, a lot of players gone, and all that opened up salary could be used.

I think that Xavi will do it soon, several senior players will no longer grace the Blaugrana squad next season. Xavi certainly has the vision to revolutionize his squad. Several players brought in this season have been able to prove their capacity even though they have not reached the expected level. I believe that next season Xavi will be more flexible in concocting the team and the hope of giving El Barca a title will very likely be realized.

Since the teams will be playing after a long time, I would say that even if the opponent is weak, it will not be easy for them to win. Valladolid and Espanyol are relatively weak teams. However, Madrid and Barcelona are likely to drop points in this match if they don't perform carefully.

Villarreal and Valencia are only two points apart. Both teams will want to climb to the top of the table. And so this match is very important for both the teams. But I think Villarreal will win against Valencia. Because it is their home match. And Villarreal have won their last 3 home matches against Valencia.

Assuming the weak strength of the opposing team is a big mistake made by a team. Barcelona and Real Madrid will not reduce the tension of their attacks in this match, especially Barcelona who want to maintain their position in first place. On paper, Barcelona can easily score three points from Espanyol, moreover most of Barcelona's main players are filled with players who have strengthened their country in the world cup. Even though Espanyol can make it difficult for Barcelona, the chances for Barcelona to win this match are very large.

Villarreal will surely showcase some tactics that will make Valencia to loose confidence of winning the game, since this is the first game after the FIFA world cup competition. Villarreal will not give Valencia any opportunity to beat them or make the game draw than to apply what will make them to smile at the end of the game. Barcelona will beat Espanyol 2:0 because, they will use this game to encourage their fans ahead of other games.

There are many matches that will occur on December 31 and it will be the best year-ending match. for my bet i will put madrid, barcelona, sociedad and villareal

madrid vs valladolid will take place at home to valladolid while barca vs espanyol will take place at home to barca. I will watch these two matches while welcoming the new year waiting

Barcelona and Real Madrid both have comfortable fixtures ahead of them now. The opponents are Espanyol and Valladolid respectively. I don't expect any mistakes from both favourites.

Barcelona have already been very comfortable against smaller teams in the league for a long time. As for Real Madrid it has been a little complicated recently. They lost points in really unexpected games which was a big help for Barcelona to take the lead from Real Madrid. With the return of Benzema I think Real Madrid will fight stronger than before. Ancelotti should be successful with helping his players have full concentration on their games from now on.

Benzema is indeed a top priority at Real Madrid, but Carlo Ancelotti should not depend on Benzema alone because they have many players that can be used to work well together. The two teams are fighting very fiercely, so this will be a match that is highly anticipated for taking first place at the top of the La Liga standings.

It’s no secret that Benzema is a deadly force at Real Madrid and a goal scoring machine for the club. His position at the club has been and is still very much invaluable.
But that doesn’t mean they should depend on his skill set alone. The game is played by 11 players on the pitch and it takes the efforts of all to successfully win a game. Real Madrid has great players with a great game play as well. A very formidable team and with Benzema, the goals would just keep pouring in as he’s a goal magnet.

Sometimes football is played around a single player
With Real Madrid is not a new happening to overtime to he past Real Madrid do this especially around players who are chasing the highest and all time goal scorers.
With his absence Real Madrid find some games difficult to score

If Lewandowski should miss all three matches for Barcelona this season,then it's indeed going to be a very bad news for Barca who find it difficult to score goals without Lewandowski in the team.They struggle to get goals and it looks as if Xavi have built the the around him which is bad.They will have to look at somebody else in the team that can score goals to play upfront just as Lewa does.
Let's pray his absence does not cause them to loose the three matches,I know they can't afford to loose,but I know Athletico might draw or win them.
