Atlético de Madrid and Rayo Vallecano are almost as strong in this match. It is very difficult to predict which side will win. Small advantage for the home team but does not rule out the possibility of ending in a draw. I think there will be a draw at the end. So, what about your predictions?
Both teams are strong, but Rayo Vallecano is much more consistent than Atletico Madrid. Looking at the last 4 match of Atletico Madrid, I really doubt to say that they can get any point in this match because 4 of the 5 match they played ended in defeat. I think Rayo Vallecano can win this match, but I want to see if Atletico Madrid can end their losing streak.

A very hard match is on the line for Atletico Madrid this time. They are going to be hosting Rayo Vallecano in Wanda Metropolitano on this Sunday. I'm putting it in this way because Vallecano is a really tough opponent for them and actually for every team in the league now. They are having their best season in the La Liga for sure. Maybe they are going to play away here but they are still strong enough to benefit from Atletico Madrid's current poor condition. Simeone must get his players completely ready for this match to finally get a win after a break of so many weeks.
Athletico Maldrid might not escape the defeat as the keep making poor performances and having a strong team like Vallecano it wouldn't be easy on them. The long break will definitely not change anything significant about Someone's readiness for the match I just feel he should just do his best to ensure the don't conceede much goals as Rayo Vallecano would be out to grab another point from their lapsesAtletico Madrid are out of form. They have lost the last 4 matches. However, there is no reason to think that Atletico Madrid will lose against Rayo Vallecano. I would like to highlight two figures. Madrid have won four of the last five matches between Atletico Madrid and Rayo Vallecano. A match has been drawn.
Secondly, it is Atletico Madrid's home match. Rayo Vallecano's team is very weak in the away match. They have managed to score 5 points in 9 away matches. So I think Atletico Madrid will return to form through this match.

Barcelona not get good opportunity right now and out from top four position make them not really happy situation right now, although match begin one week later they have get Ferran Torres from Manchester City and I think still not enough. Many other player want get by Xavi but financial make situation bad for Barcelona, still optimist with fans trusted Barcelona can back to position again? I think many possible for other club change position from Sevilla and Real Betis if keep consistent performance will make Barcelona out from champion league position next years.
That's a possibility it seems and I also totally agree with what you're saying because in the last two years Barcelona have really had a bad time and that has to do with the finances at the Barcelona club itself and from some of the games I've seen. Barcelona doesn't look so strong anymore even though there are still fans who are still optimistic about the Barcelona Club until now, but the hopes of winning the league title are very slim.
The opportunity to play in the UEFA Champions League next season is still wide open for Barcelona, but that's how they can take advantage of every game in La Liga. There is still plenty of time to improve their performance. I'm sure they'll be able to get out of what they're going through now.
Apart from that I agree with your opinion, they are only a few points behind, it is not impossible with 1 or 2 games they can improve their position in the standings.

There are still 20 more games to be played by Barcelona, so there is still a very big chance for Barcelona to enter the top 4 to be able to play
in the Champions League next season. But to be able to compete for the La Liga trophy this season is impossible for Barcelona, so indeed finishing
in the top 4 is a reasonable target for Barcelona to achieve this season. Moreover, the performance of Atlético and Real Sociedad, which is
above Barcelona, continues to decline. While for Betis and Rayo in the next few games it is possible to lose a lot of points. The team that is
above Barcelona maybe only Real Madrid will play consistently, even Sevilla who are in second place I doubt they can play consistently in the next
few games. Most importantly Barcelona just focus on being able to win match as much as possible, and try not to lose a lot of points. That way
Barcelona can definitely finish this season in the top 4.
Making top 4 could be difficult now. Barcelona have more chance winning the Europea league than qualifying through the league bc la liga teams know how Barcelona play and it’s tougher especially the fact the they don’t have a player than can score goals. One of the most important strategies is they want to get to the top again is this- Get debt out the way. Grow youth. Sell away certain players. Renew worthful contracts.
It is not easy for Barcelona to enter the top 4, moreover Barcelona's performance has not been consistent. But Barcelona are quite active
in the transfer market, even now they have officially signed Ferran Torres, even though Barcelona have to pay in installments for 4 years.
This proves that Barcelona is serious about strengthening its squad at least so that it can finish in the top 4 this season. I also believe that
Barcelona will still bring in more players in the January transfer window. Because it would be strange if Barcelona didn't play in the Champions
League next season, That's why I believe the Barcelona management will fully support Xavi's desire to bring in some new players. In addition
to bringing in new players, Barcelona will also definitely release some players who do not make a good contribution. Another option is Barcelona
can win the Europa League trophy to be able to play in the Champions League. So I believe Barcelona's chances are still big enough to be able
to play in the Champions League next season.
ATM @1.33 5th place - Rayo Vallecano @11 4th place!
We all know that ATM is overall better and its chances for winning is higher but these odds sounds like ATM is facing a team in the second division and not the first one and certainly not a team in the top 4 spots
The other funny odds are Mallorca @3.7 and Barcelona @2, it is like people and bookies are trusting that Barca will win but not that much.

Barcelona doesn't look so strong anymore even though there are still fans who are still optimistic about the Barcelona Club until now, but the hopes of winning the league title are very slim. Barca is getting just one shot to correct their poor performance this year and if it misses the effects will be felt next year as well. In fact it may be too late to correct at all the current year. Too little, too late... not the best move, not the best financial situation. All this is not proper for a team like Barca as they should have enough managerial talent to better understand the situation and use the resources more wisely. This is making La Liga a bit boring as Spain mostly depends on having Real and Barca in good shape and then the rest.
I really expect Barcelona to get better, and Xavi is getting those players he wants for his style of play, they didn't waited too long to start getting some players and thats great for them. I am expecting them to be doing a lot better in the second half of the season.That Haaland news still sounds too weird to me, I doubt that they would add another 20% of the debt on top of the current debt they have, it would be a silly move if you ask me but if they can somehow manage to do that, and also Real gets Mbappe by the end of the season, we may have another period of ronaldo vs messi in la liga. It would make people watch a lot more and would make teams earn a lot more as well for sure.
The next three matches on January, Rayo Vallecano really must show what they can do to maintain their position in top four. But it seems very difficult to see because some big clubs that will be faced.
Yep. As I stated above, the chance for Rayo Vallecano to stay in the top 4 seems a bit difficult. In January, they will have some difficult matches, against Atletico, Barcelona, and Real Betis. In theory, Rayo Vallecano won't have a chance to gain a single point against them. So, I am not sure Rayo Vallecano to stay in the top 4 anymore after January ends.The opportunity to play in the UEFA Champions League next season is still wide open for Barcelona,
Not only for Barcelona, Atletico Madrid probably will be back again to UCL zone in the next month. Moreover, if Savic and Gimenez can recover in the next year, or Atletico successfully buys new top central defenders in the next window. When they can deal with their problem in the defense line, Atletico Madrid should be competitive and strong again.Barcelona on the other side has given away all their points and performances and have allowed real Madrid to practically predominate over them, it appalling!
They use to struggle together and Madrid were most times knocked outta the score board because they had players back then that were equal to the task but for now, things have changed!

The money used to buy Ferran came from a bank loan. You may not like it but it's a hard financial decision they have to make for the future of the club. Only time will tell if that will pay off or not.
The decision to get a good player is justified in my opinion but increasing the wage volume shouldn't be accepted too. They have to get ride of some useless players for real and bring young and useful ones to guarantee the future of the club. Other than that, it is a suicide. 
In Spain there have been many top football teams and now everything has started to change like Real Madrid and Barcelona because both in the past were both very strong, but if you look at the two at this time it is very different where Barcelona is already very weak and not even in the last 16 of the Champions league for this season.
Isn't not playing in UCL a sign the team is weak? I don't think so.Barcelona is different from a few seasons ago. They don't have a player regeneration as great as xavi and inesta still exist. In fact they have a lot of problems coming from management. So they forced reducing star players to cover the financial shortfall.
I think it was Barcelona's failure to execute the manemen and the regeneration of those players that made them different. A few games after Xavi's arrival seemed to change. Their attacking flow is also starting to improve, I think if they have the money they should add players. So I think barcelona are still a strong team but not as strong as last season.

Nothing is expected of Barcelona at the moment. Most likely they continue to target shifting Real Sociedad which is on the decline as well. However, seeing his current potential it is difficult to win a trophy. it was too far for them to reach. Real Madrid has the potential to continue to lead. Reaching the final League of course this continues to make it difficult for Barcelona to move more freely.
Is it difficult to win a trophy?
I think it is impossible for Barcelona. Barcelona is 16 points behind Real Madrid. If you want to get 18 points, you have to win 6 matches. At the same time Real Madrid will have to lose 6 matches. Not only that, with Sevilla and Real Betis ahead of Barcelona as title contenders. Barcelona's main goal now is to qualify for the Champions League next season.
You seem to have misunderstood what I meant. It's clear here that it's impossible for Barcelona to get a trophy with their not-so-good form and too many points behind. Moreover, to catch up with Real Madrid would be very unlikely. in fact, they need to go through many other club positions and even in history, it has never been recorded to add 16 points in 1 game.

Real Madrid will be adding up another win on 2nd Jan against Getafe. They are just far above from 2nd place and if you look at the table there are heavy competition between each places with just few points in between. Real Betis will have a chance tom against Celta Vigo as Celta Vigo is not a challenging team to win when compared to top teams. Sevilla next match will be with Cadiz and yes there will not be much challenge for them to add a win.
I wouldn't be surprised if Real Madrid could win that game because they are one of the strongest at the moment in Laliga. As the leader of the standings, of course Real Madrid is superior to Getafe which is actually quite close to the relegation zone. So, Real Madrid's victory should have been detected from now.Real Madrid are playing very good matches. Getafe, on the other hand, has been looking a little better lately. Still, they are not strong enough to beat Real Madrid. I think Real Madrid will get a clean win. I think the result of the match to be played on January 2 will end in favor of Real Madrid. I would be very surprised if Getafe scores points.
After playing really solid against Sevilla in an away game the last time, Barcelona's next target is going to be Mallorca in another away game. The Barcelona I watched against Sevilla were really encouraging for the future. And they should show their seriousness by this game. Mallorca is not a tough opponent for them. They just need to focus on the game and make the effort they did against Sevilla at least. Then, they can win this.
I suspect Barcelona will win vs Mallorca later, so I am very confident about that possibility. The previous match vs Sevilla was great for Barcelona, but I still can't convince myself that they can do it again when they travel to Mallorca. I don't think Mallorca is too difficult a team to beat, but Xavi has to convince his players to score goals. But before that, I think all players must really maintain their fitness during the New Year celebrations to be ready to compete for the 3 important points.Actually, I remember the thing also that Mallorca managed to beat Atletico Madrid away not a long time ago. Atletico Madrid and Barcelona are not in a very different condition right now. Maybe Barcelona are in a much better situation in terms of recent form but there is only a one-point difference between them in the standings now. Barcelona should play carefully and focus on scoring multiple goals in this one like they did against Elche.
