Real Madrid right from the starting of this season's Laliga journey has been meeting somewhat weaker teams and I will not be wrong if I say they have been struggling with these small teams. We can say that Real Madrid will win this match but we are not sure if they can win without robbing or having an underserved Pk.

I am yet to be satisfied with the performance of Real Madrid this season. I think their rival - Barcelona is more stable since the start of this season. If Barcelona will maintain their consistency, they could be the champions of Laliga.

Real Madrid had a similar problem last year and they easily overcame it. Lunin easily showed us that he could be the main goalkeeper of the team. Now it is Pena's turn. Pena will probably be in goal for Barcelona. They can fill Ter Stegen's absence for the rest of the season.

Ter Stegen's injury is not the first that Hansi Flick has faced since he took charge of Barcelona, ​​previously several important players had also entered the treatment room, but he always managed to get through the difficulties in his own way. Now Flick has turned his attention back to young players from the La Masia academy (Áron Yaakobishvili), he has started training with Iñaki Peña and Ander Astralaga, all three will be included in the squad when Barcelona host Getafe at Camp Nou.

Barcelona are also considering two options to recruit a new goalkeeper to replace Ter Stegen.
1. Recruit a Free agent goalkeeper (now).
2. wait until the January transfer window opens to bring in a better goalkeeper (as a long-term option).
But it all depends on the coach.

I would be really curious to know the odds for this match, it really makes me want to bet
of the previous week I missed the Atletico Madrid match which drew (I can't explain how they managed to draw instead of winning)
patience
I think I'll bet on this match

Well, as you know performance Barcelona have a good start in the premier league but have lost ter Stegen to injury. It has also impacted on performance on the pitch and increased the burden on the trainer Hansi Flick on finding the right substitutions. The mistake in the event against Monaco Team was also costly for ter Stegen but everybody knows that any player can occur a mistake.

Having lost a first-choice goalkeeper like ter Stegen is a definitely big blow but Barcelona have still many games ahead in the Champions League to show themselves. The team has to start searching or possibilities to have a new secret in the team especially in the greater competition. Experts believe that if Barcelona, implement the right strategy, the team will be able to get over this period and remain competitive again.

Real Madrid should not waste this match, 3 points are an absolute requirement to be able to continue to approach their rivals, and I am sure Ancelotti's squad can win this match especially since they are playing at home as you said, there is motivation to perform better in front of their own supporters.
On the other hand I will not underestimate Luis Garcia Plaza's team, they will work hard to at least steal points at the Bernabeu later,
we'll see tomorrow which club will perform well.

Team	Point
Barcellona	18
Real Madrid	14
Athletic Bilbao	13
Atletico Madrid	12
Villarreal	11
Alaves	10
Osasuna	10
Celta Vigo	9
Rayo Vallecano	8
Betis Siviglia	8
Maiorca	8
Girona	7
Espanyol	7
Leganes	6
Siviglia	5
Real Sociedad	5
Real Valladolid	5
Getafe	4
Valencia	4
Las Palmas	2

Real Madrid doesn't give up, the distance remains 4 points. Atletico Madrid slips

Although Madrid has had a journey that is not as perfect as Barcelona in winning this season, but until now Madrid is also undefeated and against the alaves will of course be an opportunity for them to continue their positive trend in the league, madrid must no longer lose points to maintain their hopes in pursuit of Barcelona and alaves should not be an obstacle for them to get the full 3 points later,  Los Blancos are far behind Barcelona after they have started the season poorly and I think it's very important for Ancelotti to capitalise every match that played to get 3 points, especialy with some of their injured players has back in the squad, playing at the Bernabeu will boost the motivation and ambition that Madrid have so I think it will be a repeat match of last season when they demolished Alaves 5-0 at the Bernabeu.

Barcelona's match against Villarreal with a score of 5-1 was of course very extraordinary and it was indeed a tense moment but of course Barcelona played well and were able to score lots of goals until finally Barcelona managed to win the match and now they have achieved a total of 18 points at this time. Barcelona, ​​and of course this is an extraordinary thing and now Barcelona has a 4 point difference with Real Madrid.

In my opinion, it is definitely not an easy thing for Real Madrid to be able to compete with Barcelona, but of course I am sure that Real Madrid, which is full of star players, will definitely have the potential to be confident in being able to beat Barcelona.

Indeed, Barcelona is secretly very dangerous for all the teams in Laliga, even though they are being hit by a financial crisis, their players are still playing well. but if you think about it, of course Barcelona hasn't won a title for a long time and of course Barcelona fans want Barcelona to become champions like when Messi was still at Barcelona. Yes, if for example Hansi Flick succeeds in bringing Barcelona to the championship, of course Hansi Flick has the potential for his salary to increase and Hansi Flick's name will definitely become more popular.

Of course, we'll see what Hansi Flick will do in an effort to prevent Barcelona from dropping from the standings and indeed, if for example Hansi Filck could make Barcelona champions even without Messi, of course that would be very impressive.

To an extent the manager is to be blame because he was supposed to have make amends when there was still time for him to but he did nothing about it, I'm not saying that his pattern or strategy on that match was bad but I blame him for not observing that defensive and advancing front would have prevented Mallorca from scoring, on the first half his pattern was very productive to the club which even help them achieving the first goal even if Mallorca latter equalize in few minutes time but the struggle was not much for them on the first half.

But there second half they were more defensive instead of putting more efforts to get more goals, actually defensive pattern is mostly good when a club is leading in terms goal plus playing against stronger team but in there case non of this was the reason why they were playing defensive game even when they were more stronger than Mallorca, I blame them for there losing because they were supposed to be the wining team instead of Mallorca.

With Real Madrid's next match I think they will be able to win the match with a score of more than two goals, besides they can approach Barcelona's points who are leading the standings. Real Madrid's chances are very big, but we don't know what will happen later because anything can happen when it's on the field. In addition, they will act as hosts in this match, hosting Alaves at the Santiago Bernabeu of course this will make them more confident to compete.
Those who definitely want to lead the top of the standings will appear with their best performance to be able to beat their opponents, and with Alaves I think they will have difficulty winning this match to steal points from this match.

I agree with you that the coach of Real Betis has several mistakes. At the same time, I would say that Real Betis could have at least drawn this match if the players had performed carefully. Real Betis players needed to perform more carefully. The Real Betis team would not have conceded two goals if they performed a little more carefully. Real Betis conceded the goal just one minute after scoring the first goal. At the same time, Real Betis should have kept their defense tight in the last minute. Then the Real Betis team would have been able to gain 1 point by drawing the match. Real Betis coach should strengthen their defense. Because Betis players have scored 6 goals and conceded 6 goals in 6 matches. The coach of Real Betis has to work to strengthen the defense.

I still blame the manager of the home team Betis because he would have gotten a point after seeing how things weren't going his way by playing more of the defending than attacking. They tried all they could but non of their shots was found at the back of the net and Manuel Luis Pellegrini still felt something positive can still happen in his favor at the last minute but we all know how it ended, 1-2 and nobody would have believed such a crazy last minute goal will come not for Betis that have been dominating but for Mallorca, it was indeed a bad day for the host. Let's see if Betis can get a win in their next game.

Ter Stegen is an experienced goalkeeper. Barcelona will suffer losing such an experienced goalkeeper. But Hansi Flick is quite an experienced coach. He will surely be able to find a solution to this problem. Also, Barcelona's second goalkeeper Inaki Pena may not be experienced enough. But he is talented. Given enough opportunities, he might also be able to perform well with Barcelona.

Hansi Flick has solved most of Barcelona's problems. Barcelona was in financial trouble. However, with the help of Hansi Flick, Barcelona managed to build a strong squad. Barcelona's performance is now very stable. The top spot in the table is now occupied by Barcelona after winning all 6 matches. Even if Ter Stegen is not with the squad, I don't think it will affect Barcelona's overall performance. Hansi Flick will be able to strengthen Barcelona's defense.

Martinez is under contract with Aston Villa so Barcelona will be unable to gets him because transfer window have already closed Barcelona is only can gets the players which free transfer status and according to Barcelona medical team André ter Stegen will be rested approximately for next 7-9 month which mean if this news is true then André ter Stegen will not be available until this season ended and i have to says this is big lost because previously André ter Stegen position as Barcelona main goalkeeper is Irreplaceable

Barcelona only have two option that rely on their second goalkeeper Inaki Pena or gets new player and currently Barcelona was linked to some of experience goalkeepers which have no clubs such as Keylor Navas, Jordi Masip, Edgar Badia, Jiri Pavlenka and Loris Karius so Barcelona probably will choose one of them as their next goalkeeper

Indeed, losing Ter Stegen is one of the problems faced by Barcelona, ​​especially since Ter Stegen's injury is quite serious. But I believe Barcelona's performance will not decline even though they lose their main goalkeeper because Hansi Flick can handle it, especially since this season Barcelona has lost many of its key players but Barcelona's performance is still perfect where Barcelona has not been defeated in La Liga until now.

Barcelona started this season very well, unfortunately Flick faced a huge problem, it will be very difficult to replace such a goalkeeper, and the biggest difficulty is that they lost Ter Stegen for the rest of the season. In the match against Monaco it was his mistake, but sometimes it happens, every person can make a mistake, yes it led to a defeat, but I am almost sure that this defeat will not be a big problem for Barcelona in the end, because they still have many matches in the Champions League. But the loss of the main goalkeeper is a huge problem for Flick.

The Barcelona coach is doing a good job. With the knowledge of the financial problems of the club, he decided to grow young players and blend them up with experienced ones. The workload of players in most top leagues is burdensome, and it might lead to fatigue and injuries. Players need to be rotated to reduce the number of games they play. They might not have the privilege of buying more players in the January transfer market, so they need to maximize the talent at their disposal. The club's injury woes last season contributed to their inability to win more trophies but it seems Hansi Flick has the masterplan to make Barcelona more competitive this season.

Real Betis were unlucky in this match. At the same time I will say that the players performed carefully in this match. This is the reason why the team was defeated despite performing well.

Real Betis managed to score in the 7th minute of the opening match. But due to the carelessness of the players, Real Betis conceded the goal in just 1 minute. Mallorca equalized in the eighth minute with Dani Rodriguez's goal. But then we saw the dominance of Real Betis players throughout the match. But after 90 minutes mallorca scored their second goal. Mallorca won the match 2-1 with a last minute goal.

The chances are still there but in this case we cannot be too sure for Barcelona to qualify easily in the Champions League. Their first match didn't go so well against AS Monaco, and now they are also faced with some troublesome clubs with Bayern still the bigmatch for Barcelona, last season's Champions League finalists Dortmund, last season's Europa League champions Atalanta and dark horse club Benfica.

Although in terms of actual strength Atalanta, Dortmund and Benfica are still below them in terms of level but facing teams like this is not an easy thing for 3 points so when their goal is to qualify directly it will be a little difficult if their performance and mistakes against Monaco are repeated because they could be troubled to qualify later when their focus is destroyed and too confident in their current condition.
