One of the interesting games in the next round is betis vs bilbao both teams are with the same number of points bilbao in the fourth and betis in the sixsth position, while things were great for bilbao before the break betis need a win to wipe away the huge loss to valencia in the last round, the game will be in betis stadium but still athletic bilbao are a tough team to crack i expect the game to end in a draw.

I agree with you. The game is most likely to end in a draw. Real Betis is a very good team with a lot of top quality players and a very good manager. However, I observed that they had a bad form towards the break before the world cup. In my estimation, with the low participation of most of their players in the world cup and a good preparation during the world cup break with some quality friendly matches against teams like Manchester united, this will help to improve their form in the second half of the season but I will go for a draw because both teams play fantastic football.

Actually if I consider them from the previous few seasons, then I can conclude that Betis is still the better one compared to Bilbao. Because from the previous few seasons it was very difficult for Bilbao to break into the top six, because usually Bilbao only struggles in the middle of the standings, for example in positions eight to eleven.
In contrast to Betis, they have been impressive in the last few seasons, because Betis can consistently compete in the top six.

So yes, if I consider their position from the past few seasons then I would go for Betis but unfortunately, at this moment even though they are level on points I consider that Bilbao have a better chance of winning. Even the record for home and away matches so far this season in fact Bilbao looks better and thus, I doubt the quality of Betis at this moment.
Assessment of their performance from the previous few seasons did not impress me with Betis this season because after all, this season seems to be very different for Betis, whose consistency seems to be doubtful.

One of the clubs that need a total overhaul is Barcelona because the club have under performed in most recent time and since their last match which was a bit favorable to the club and meeting with another bigger club in the La Liga this season and being able to win the match will help Barcelona to recover and move up on the league table.

I don't think FC Barcelona is deficient to the extent that requires a complete overhaul... The club still has good midfielders, good defenders, and attackers which is the best arm of the team. What Barcelona needs now are more players that could make a good second 11, but currently, the club is struggling with financial constraints and this has become their major hindrance in adding more players to the team. The team doesn't need an overhaul because the players available are doing well, they only need good substitutes.

Barcelona are a very good team,and if you see their starting eleven,you will see that they are capable of winning every thing, especially when they added players like Lewandowski who was a prolific goal scorer at Dortmund,he is now at Barca,and he has been doing incredibly well at the camp nou.The issue of substitute may affect them a little bit because they don't really have second line ups who can come in to replace them when fatigue hits their first team players.
I think this transfer window will be the perfect time for them to sign players in the transfer window to give them squad depth.
If new players can come into the club now,then there is every tendency that Barcelona will either lift the Lalliga trophy or Europa league.

Barcelona does not need a complete overhaul at this moment. But they would have needed a complete overhaul if we were talking about six months or one year ago. Right now, the situation in Barcelona has stabilized a little bit and Barcelona is performing well in La Liga. That is something to be proud of for Barcelona right now, especially after what they have been through in the last couple of years. But right now I don’t think they need an overhaul. They just need a few good defenders on the team. And I also agree that they will also need players in the team so that there are good replacements for players getting injured. And I hope that Barcelona is trying to fix its financial problems as well.

Some long ball counter players like Dembele need to be kept in the squad. Those who need it can be played from Tiktaka to the counter. Because, currently Tiki Taka is not always effective.

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.

Lewandowski has been suspended for 3 matches for insulting or disrespecting the referee. This he got when Barcelona visited Osasuna headquarters in their 14th week. The Spanish football federation considered the actions taken by the Polish national player to be excessive and disrespectful to the referee who led the match, so this suspension was given to him. Lewandowski himself denied that his actions were directed at the referee, but still the appeal that was made did not result in the decision to sanction him being revoked.

Lewandowski will have a huge impact on the team as he misses three of Barcelona's matches. Because he is the only Barcelona team's best striker whose finishing is extraordinary. He scored some great goals after joining the Barcelona team and helped Barcelona to victory. It remains to be seen how the coach of the Barcelona team will fill Lewandowski's place in these three matches.

Lewandowski's absence will certainly affect the performance of Barcelona's front line. However, there is still hope that the player Xavi Hernandez will play later can actually replace Lewandowski's role. We'll see in the match later, whether the player who will replace Lewandowski can answer the coach's trust or not.
Actually, what happened to Lewandowski could have been avoided, but sometimes emotions on the field are very difficult to control.

Javi Hernandez should try to keep Alvarez at center forward. Although Alvarez is in a team like Man City. Whose coach is Pep Guardiwala.

However, the ability to play long ball counters with Tiki Taka should be kept in tune with the times. Or to have some substitutes with which the tiki can be moved from cutting to the counter. And Sergio's replacement and Alba's replacement need to be kept.

Barcelona doesn't have much fun bringing in new players. I would buy the idea if you say to exchange them. But right now there aren't many players to exçhage because already the team is still competing in different leagues. Though there isn't much problem with any arm of the team than the defense. I think the team might move to another height if the management can bring in a vibrant central defender to cover up for Sergio Bosquet and a young defensive midfielder to cover up for Jordi Alba who is already 33 years old. Infact, the whole members of Barcelona's defense are 30 years and above which is quite unhealthy for the team.

Totally agree, the players in Barcelona's attacking line are young enough and really fit to play in Barcelona. However, I think an AMF position player should be added to the team with young replacements for Alba and Sergio.

I agree with you that everyone in Barcelona's attack is very young, but they have a great talent for football, in terms of which they are doing great. However, Lewandowski, one of the most experienced players at Barcelona, has blended in well with the youngsters. If Barcelona's midfielders and defenses can make up for some of the deficiencies in the team, the team will regain its full strength.

Barcelona have had defensive issues in the Champions League rather than the La Liga actually. Because if we look at their statistics in the La Liga we can see it clearly. Barcelona and Real Madrid have the same number of goals scored but Barcelona conceded only 5 goals so far. It looks like they won't have much issue in defense in the league at least for this season. This must be comforting for them because they won't be able to make any transfer in January most probably. Otherwise this would cause them to be in trouble.

I don't know how good they will do in the Europa League though. They will need to beat some big teams there to reach the title most probably. They don't have a good history against big teams this season but we will see what happens as of now. I hope Xavi has figured out what to do against them.

There are many rumors that always link Barcelona with several newcomers, despite the fact that Barcelona is experiencing serious financial problems. however, that did not stop Xavi from hunting for players in the upcoming January transfer window. we do not know which players will be included in Barcelona's sale list and which players are the target to be brought to Camp Nou. however, if Xavi insists on bringing in newcomers. like it or not, Barcelona had to sell some of its players. and the one with the most high transfer value is De Jong. or maybe Barcelona will also include Ferran Torres, on their selling list in January.

For the defense line, actually Barcelona already has it, it's just that they need more high discipline. after all, Barcelona can maximize the potential of their young players. maybe we agree with Sergio Busquet, it looks like Xavi has to replace him even though Barcelona actually has several options. one more thing, Xavi must maximize his strategy. specifically increasing the potential of their wingers, Raphinha has not contributed much.
I hope, in the second half of this season he has strong chemistry and bonding. overall, there is a lot that Xavi has to fix especially since he is targeting two trophies at once this season.

The age of the Barcelona players will not affect the team's appearance, just look at how Lewandowski, who is already 34 years old, and Sergio Bosquet can still be relied on as a defensive midfielder. While Jordi Alba is still capable of running in the left-back area, Barcelona also doesn't need to worry about the left-back position because it already has a talented young player (Balde). Meanwhile in the center back position, Kounde is still Xavi mainstay, since Araujo suffered an injury Xavi has had to rotate Kounde partner in guarding Barcelona's defense.

The material for Barcelona players is still able to play at the highest level. The combination of players over 30 years old with young players has provided variety in the Barcelona squad. Your worries about Barcelona's defense are too much, Barcelona are still able to build a good defense even though Xavi has not been able to play Araujo.

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.

That's because he insulted the referee, he showed a bad gesture in the match against Osasuna Lewandowski got a red card, made him suspended not play against Espanyol, Atletico Madrid and Real Betis. Lewandowski absence maybe it won't have a big impact because Barcelona still have Ansu Fati Raphinha Dembele, although lewandowski has been a goal machine so far for Barcelona.

If the player himself leads a healthy lifestyle and follows the instructions of club doctors, then 30 years is not an age at all. Messi is as good at 35 as he was 10 years ago.
Ronaldo at 37 is still quite able to surprise anyone and if it were not for psychological and personal issues, perhaps it would be even better. Modrić at 37 was able to bring a bronze medal to Croatia.
De Bruyne at 31 can easily give 3-4 assists for a goal throughout the match, play the match and score himself.
Jordi Alba still good at his position and it's not easy to find a replacement for such a player as Jordi Alba, there is no guarantee that a young player will be better than him.
Plus the medicine has also improved. In general, I would not say that the age of players for Barça is any problem.

It's rather unclear the general line of the club's behavior. Apparently, after the Champions League exit Xavi has lost confidence in him and now everyone is waiting to see if Barcelona will win the championship, beating Real or not. Apparently only after that more money will be allocated for new transfers.

maybe too hasty, but Barca will not be able to manage their finances properly if they only make purchases without reducing spending on players.
an extraordinary challenge for Xavi to make Barca a champion this season. with all the efforts and limitations, Barça's game developed very well. everyone could see Xavi's abilities.

I won't say that Xavi's presence as Barcelona's manager hasn't changed anything or done much for the team. He still needs to level up and raise the team's standard of play. One of Barcelona's current issues is the defense, which if not handled properly, will see the league title slip through his fingers. I believe Barcelona can do more; they have the funds to bring in new players or exchange them for current ones; I just hope the right decision is made before it's too late.

Barcelona doesn't have much fun bringing in new players. I would buy the idea if you say to exchange them. But right now there aren't many players to exçhage because already the team is still competing in different leagues. Though there isn't much problem with any arm of the team than the defense. I think the team might move to another height if the management can bring in a vibrant central defender to cover up for Sergio Bosquet and a young defensive midfielder to cover up for Jordi Alba who is already 33 years old. Infact, the whole members of Barcelona's defense are 30 years and above which is quite unhealthy for the team.

Barcelona's lack of options in terms of quality makes them rely so much on a player same way they relied solely on Messi when he was at Barcelona. It was like the team would not survive without Messi for any game he was absent and it caused a lot of difficulties. It wouldn't be nice to start up in that manner with Xavi and I think it will be a disaster for the team if they do not sign young players to help cover for Lewandowski absence.

You're right, they depend too much on one or two players, so when those players leave they find it difficult to rebuild the team. What cannot be done by any team, not only Barcelona, that is, you cannot depend on certain individuals. They should be more able to see that they are a team consisting of lots of players that they can maximize their abilities. They have 11 players on the pitch, as well as players on the bench who are ready to take over from the main players whenever needed.

the quality of the core players and the reserves is of course very different in the sense that the players on the bench get less playing minutes so that when one of the core players is injured the coaches will be a little confused, even though the reserves can cover the gap but they need time to can prove the quality is really good. Pique has retired for the season, this is something Xavi has to think about can he count on Garcia and Christensen for the rest of the season. even for this transfer window i think barcelona did not experience losing their core players in the transfer season like de jong.

Mbappe, Neymar and Messi were the best performers for their respective teams. Now we are waiting to see how these three players will perform together. Mbappe's performances are more organized now than before. He has now become quite mature and experienced. Therefore, I expect his performance to be sharper than before in the PSG squad. The Neymar-Messi-Mbappe trio's attack will be stronger if Neymar is not injured. And if these three players perform well, winning the Champions League is not impossible for PSG. But Galtier's match strategy needs to be developed. If the match strategy is not good, it is not possible to win against the giant teams.
