Villarreal are going to play an away game against Celta Vigo this week. Villarreal are the 4th with 29 points and Celta Vigo are the 8th with 23 points. Villarreal lost just 1 game and got 2 wins on their last 5 matches. Celta Vigo got only 1 loss (which was to Real Madrid 2-0 away last week) and got 3 wins on their last 5 matches. I. Aspas is injured and it is a very important loss for Celta Vigo. Because he nearly scored half of the goals of the team in the league so far (He scored 9 goals in 17 matches). P. Alcacer is injured at Villarreal. Villarreal won here last year 1-0. I think Villarreal are the dominant team here and they can win this.

But don't forget that Atletico Madrid often fails to get the trophy just before the competition ends. So, personally, I am still not really sure if Atletico Madrid can win the La Liga trophy this season. Real Madrid is in second place and there are still many remaining matches. Real Madrid has a chance to overtake Atletico in the top position if Atletico players lose their focus and motivation at any time.

I remember them (Atletico) winning La Liga on 13/14. Additionally, they were runers up on 17/18, 18/19. Atletico is a club that can always bother Barca and Madrid's domination in La Liga. I don't close my eyes if their chances are still the same. They still have a lot of games to play but the next meeting can decide the champions and even La Liga winners. But I still support Madrid to win. My reason is because Madrid are still chasing players to improve their weaknesses. The latest news is that Madrid want to buy Alaba from Munich.

Barcelona will win against Athletic Bilbao and make their point 31 tonight. Athletic Bilbao has a strong defensive line and especially at home they don't concede goals much. Barcelona may have trouble finding first goal but if they find it early, the match would be easier for them.
I don't expect a surprise here, just take Barcelona bet and stay away from over goal bets. Even 1-0 would be enough for Barcelona.

Interesting statistics. Barcelona have not won any of their last 3 matches in Bilbao. 2 games ended 1-0 and one ended in a draw. This match is worth watching. But now Athletic Bilbao is not very good and Barcelona has a chance to change the negative statistics. ...

Athletic Bilbao - Barcelona

this is an excellent opportunity for barcelona to get closer to the top 3 places. if barcelona misses this great opportunity then this season they can be well below the first 3 places and i think everyone in barcelona knows that.

Not your keys, not your coins!
I hope this happens, Alaba has turned down a new contract offer from Bayern Munich. However, reportedly Barcelona and Manchester United are interested in signing him. The last news I read, the agent from Alaba has even spoken to Barca. But we know that Barca is going through a financial crisis, so I think it's still Manchester United who are Madrid's rivals. But  Manchester United is not at UCL this time, so Madrid have more chances.
Both Barcelona and Real Madrid are in troubles with financial conditions and results in leagues. I don't see the reasons for Alaba to leave a strong club and join a troubling club without any big financial incentive. That I don't think Barcelona and Real Madrid will be able to give a good contract for Alaba.

Manchester United has better conditions than Barcelona and Real Madrid. They are getting good results after the transfer of Bruno Fernandes and with Alaba, they will have another great piece to finish their squad. Man Utd. also can satisfy the salary request from Alaba. Also I think Alaba can adapt to play good in Premier League.

This is what I do. I drink and I know things.
David Alaba is very good player as he can play and play well in diversifying positions on field: from left swing, central defender to central midfielder. Alaba also has powerful distant shots and he scored many goals outside the 16.5 meter area.

Do Bayern Munich really let him go?

Really Alaba is still free? I thought that he was already agreed with Barcelona. In any case, is a very good addition to any team and just because he doesn't sign a new contract with Bayern, doesn't mean that Bayern "let him go". Wink

Agreed with you Barcelona is not in superb form like before I also passing them to stake my amount them because of insane odds as compare with the performance which is really horrible. So that there are pretty low chances of them to make comeback with current game style they have to make new strategy to boost their confidence otherwise it becoming much harder for them to win the trophy of this season.

And still, somehow, against Athletic Bilbao, the bookies are only giving Barca 1.6x today, so strange, I mean we barely got past our last game, drew the previous, and still we're stacked as the clear favorites.

I'm still also the idiot who'll place some bets on them tonight:)
My bet today will be in favor of Barcelona. There is no continuity between the performances of the Barcelona's players. The team has a lot of star and talented players, but none of them are playing well regularly. I think the defense of Barcelona is a bit weak. However, I think Barcelona will not lose today's match. They will win today and  Messi or Dembele will score today.
I choose Barcelona too and hope Messi could back to good performance and make many goal again, I think Messi have longer time forget how to make goal from out penalty kick and always get chance to make goal by penalty. I think 2021 give moment for Messi to proof his the best player for Barceloa, remember this become the last season for Messi in Barca and he will give all power better for Barcelona before left or stay next season with Barcelona.

Even though Barcelona are unbeaten in the last 6 matches, there is no guarantee that they will win the match against Bilbao.
Yep, in the last match (against Huesca), Barcelona only made 1 goal although they make many chances to score. It indicates they still cannot play effectively. Also, we don't underestimate Athletic Club, it is a better team than Huesca. So, it shouldn't be easier to defeat them, especially when they play at their home. Sure, no guarantee for Barcelona to win, instead they probably get difficulties, and not impossible to lose 3 points this time.

You said Atletico Club will play at home so they will be stronger. However, I would like to say that this season Barcelona is a club that cannot be predicted. They have won against many tough teams. On the other hand, many have drawn against easy teams, even lost. Their team is not stable yet. Koeman is experimenting with players in almost every match. The Grizmen have yet to adapt to the situation in the team. Pedri created many goal chances but missed. I think Messi and Dembele do their job properly in the team. This team needs to be stabilized. Koeman needs to come up with a new strategy.

Tomorrow night, we are going to see a match between Athletic Bilbao and Barcelona. Barcelona haven't been losing for six matches but they are really bad actually in general and I don't give them much chance here. Bilbao are really strong on their home games. I won't be surprised if they win this match.
Yeah, it will be difficult game, Athletic looks really good at home and games at San Mames always been tough for Barca, even if there is no spectators. By the way, Athletic sacked manager after win against Elche, what is a bit weird decision. And they already appointed Marcelino as new manager. Usually, new manager in first game works as boost for the team.
My expectations this sesson is so low that I wouldn't be disappointed if we will reach draw tomorrow.

Even though Barcelona are unbeaten in the last 6 matches, there is no guarantee that they will win the match against Bilbao. I agree that
it is very possible that Bilbao can beat Barcelona, because if we look at Barcelona's overall appearance this season it is inconsistent.
And Messi's performance as a key player for Barcelona has declined considerably, so Barcelona must be careful in facing Bilbao.

I don't know many of the players in Barcelona's squad. It is like 10 years past and most of the players are new in a Football Manager game. Grin We can clearly see Barcelona are too away from their old days. If Messi leaves now or at the end of the season too, I think Barcelona could even be in danger of relegating from La Liga in the future. Maybe I am exaggerating and I hope I am.
I agree and i dont really understund why the administration didnt make any deal during the mercato to bring players who can make barcelona great again...it's too frustrating to see barcelona in this situation

Seeing ATM, Sevilla, Villareal...etc grabbing top spots a year or two then finding them in mid-table is normal and could happen but seeing Real Madrid or Barca struggling to win vs weak teams is shameful. The excuses based on good players/coach left, many old players..etc is unacceptable. You have a whole decade to find and recruit new players to replace the old one to keep your team in top, you have the money, attractiveness and power to do so at the opposite of the other teams!
That has always been like that, lower end teams going high for the start of the season, having a great streak, then slowly start to lose or have a tie, not really get too many wins, and slowly go one step lower, then one step lower, then one step lower eventually becoming mid table. However the difference this year is that ATM is playing well and they are ranked top and they are not looking like they are going to give all away, they are definitely fighting and will probably keep on fighting. This is why I think there is a chance they could win the league all together when it is all said and done.

Of course there are tons of games left, and of course Barcelona and Real Madrid will play a lot better and will get a lot more points and they could even be champions, however I doubt ATM will make things easy, they are going to try to keep the position until the end.
