Odds for Madrid 1.18, not very profitable for a bet. The bookie sees Madrid's high chances of winning, so they don't give good odds.
Madrid is currently very dominant with 80% Possession. Many opportunities have been created but until the 35th minute, they have not scored a goal. If the situation continues like this, it's only a matter of time before Madrid scores.
H2H between the two teams is very good for Madrid. In their last 3 matches, they have always won against Espanyol, even with 3 or more goals.

Villarreal vs Barcelona matches in La Liga are always very competitive. Barcelona team won all their matches. Villarreal team is also in good form. Villarreal have not lost a match yet. The team has earned 11 points in 5 matches. As the Villarreal team is also in very good form, Barcelona vs Villarreal match is likely to be very competitive. Moreover, it is Villarreal's home match. It will be very difficult for Barcelona to get full points against Villarreal.

Barcelona lost their last match at home against Villarreal 5-3. Barcelona will definitely want to avenge the previous defeat this season. But this team is strong. If Barcelona want to win this match, the defenders must play better.

One loss doesn't mean much when all teams have seven games left - and neither does one win. A team losing their first game doesn't necessarily mean they're out of the next round - and a team winning their first game isn't guaranteed to make it to the last 16. Barcelona have a chance to progress to the next round if they can pick up more points in their next seven games - but if they drop more points then a second chance could help via the playoffs.

But forget about Barcelona's Champions League defeat for a moment - now we have a great match between Real Madrid and Espanyol. It was a great match - but Madrid dominated it, which is normal given their squad depth. Mbappe almost scored - but Joan García saved it. Madrid are very likely to win - but they are also can lose if they fail to defend well.

I'm sure Barcelona still can continue to the next round. Although there are some difficult matches (against Bayern Munich and Dortmund)), they have also easy matches (against Young Boys, Crvena Zvezda and Brest). At least Barcelona can get points in these matches. I believe Barcelona also will win against Benfica and Atalanta. So, Barcelona can win in 5 matches at least. Even if Barcelona won't finish in the top 8, I think it is enough to make them to go to play-off round. Well, I'm also still optimistic that Barcelona to go far in UCL.

In La Liga, Barcelona performs well. Villareal may show good performances lately but I think Barcelona should win the match if we consider the squad quality. Sure, Barcelona can't underestimate Villareal, they aren't a weak team and the match will be at their home. However, it looks like Villareal still can't stop Barcelona from collecting full points in the next match. So, I personally believe Barcelona to win the match.

The match that will take place between Real Madrid and Espanyol can be exciting, because I think Real Madrid will start their career to overtake Atletico and Barcelona's rankings, besides that, Real Madrid's chances of winning are greater with this they can overtake Atletico if they can win this match, I also think that with the long season, Real Madrid still has a chance to be at the top of the standings, with as far as I know Real Madrid is undoubtedly in their performance, maybe they can catch up to the top ranking in the middle of the season.
I might bet on Real Madrid who do have a greater chance of winning, but that is not certain because no one knows what will happen because the ball is round so even though Real Madrid has good performance, it doesn't mean they can't be defeated. I will wait for the final result.

Firing has lost again to Valencia, this is their fourth defeat in a row because Valencia defeated Girona last season despite their great performance last season, and today they defeated them 2-0 at home.

This is Girona’s third defeat in the Laliga campaign this season, they are not performing well to their last season’s standard. What is actually wrong? Is it because they didn’t sign good players and they gave out one of their best player to Manchester City or it’s just a game, because their performance has dropped which is cool to say that they lose form this season.

Madrid should comfortably win this match without any problem because Real Madrid defeated Espanyol in their last three matches, and this season, I think it will be another defeat because Real Madrid cannot afford dropping any point because Barcelona is leading them with four points difference. If they win this match, they will close some gap to reduce the points difference to one point before Barcelona will play their game tomorrow against Villarreal away from home. Madrid need to use any opportunity that come their way to close the gap because Hensi Flick don’t look like a manager that will
Drop points anytime soon especially as they suffered defeat in their Champions League opening match against Monaco.

I think some teams just wants to keep that money going for a while, there are many teams all around the world like that who sell a lot but do not use it all to buy. Like look at past 4 years or so from Dortmund, they made so much money and yet they didn't buy any players for that big amount of money, and yet last season they were at UCL finals, so they showed that it works as long as you just keep spending on long term instead of just a single season.

Instead of getting 30 million and spending 30 million in a year, you could get 30 million and spend 15 million for two years and be better after that. So I think Sevilla is doing something similar too, look at Napoli, they keep selling players and making money but then they ended up being the champions too. Sevilla may never become the champions, not anytime soon at least, but if their stingy method works then they could grow to be better on the long term and benefit them eventually one day.

Soon, the home match between Real Madrid and Espanyol will be played. There is no denying that Real Madrid are favorites to win at home, but Espanyol cannot be underestimated. Both teams have released their first 11 players for this match, but I get Vinicius being benched by Ancelotti and preferring to play Arda Guler as a starter.

Rodrygo, Bellingham, Arda Guler and Mbappe fill the attack line in this match, it is quite convincing and El Real can probably win this match. On the other hand, Espanyol will probably play defensive football where they can try to avoid defeat. But in fact, defending against Real Madrid is never really effective, conceding goals is still possible because of the high pressure.

Referring to the odds displayed, the match in question is quite easy to predict at first glance, because it brings together the top and underdog teams. Regardless of their previous matches, on paper Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico are indeed worthy favorites. Clearly an additional 3 points will strengthen their respective positions in the standings. Meanwhile, the team with the most potential to make a surprise is Villarreal, because they are unbeaten in their last 5 matches. Meanwhile, Espanyol and Rayo Vallecano, it seems that both teams need a miracle to create luck.
If the match goes according to predictions, then there will be no changes in the top four standings. Barcelona must forget their defeat from AS Monaco in the Champions League, and shift their focus to La Liga to beat Villarreal who are currently ranked 4th in the standings.

Red cards often ruin the course of a match and a team's game plan, this happened to Barcelona against Monaco. Hansi Flick was forced to change strategy when Eric Garcia was given a red card, that changed a lot of things and in general Barcelona lost a lot of strength on the pitch. Barcelona was relatively good at dealing with pressure, but in the end Monaco, who had a superior number of players, was able to take advantage of a good opportunity to score the winning goal.

Barcelona has a high chance of maintaining its good record in La Liga by winning the match against Villarreal. This match is considered difficult, but because of the good performance of its players, Barcelona is still the favorite to win. However, in my opinion, Hansi Flick basically has a complicated problem, especially regarding the availability of midfielders. Many of Barcelona's midfielders are still injured and most of them are expected to return in mid-October, so the composition of the players may influence their performance in this match.

Not only about their opponents who can be categorized as a team that can be defeated but of course, because they also have to maintain good results considering Barcelona who still looks strong to be consistent with their winning streak. However, Barcelona defeat in the Champions League will not have a bad impact on the good results that Barcelona must get in La Liga. Thus,  Real Madrid must also continue to improve their team play to form the chemistry of young players in the Real Madrid squad to be better. Thus, I am also very confident about the three teams which of course have become a definite result for them to compete in the top three in the fight for the trophy this season.

In the first 5 matches we saw the best performance from the Barcelona team. The eight team won all 5 matches. Barcelona players have performed well in every match. This is why Atletico Madrid are 4 points ahead of Real Madrid.

I had high expectations from Atletico Madrid this season. Because the Atletico Madrid squad is very strong. The management has tried their best to make the squad stronger. The team has added a talented player like Alvarez to the squad. But Alvarez has yet to adapt to the players at Atletico Madrid. So we have yet to see a better performance from Alvarez in an Atletico Madrid jersey.

Several players of the Real Madrid team were injured. This is why we have seen quite poor performances from Madrid in the past matches. Bellingham returns to the squad. Now hopefully we will gradually see strong performances from Madrid again.

Both teams have equal chances now. You are right that whoever scores more goals will have a better place. Whoever loses will be their first defeat in the league. But looking at their opponents I think Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico will win their matches because their opponents are not strong teams. A loss or a draw will affect their position in the standings. Therefore every match is important for them to win especially if it is against a mediocre team.

At least there is still a match against Young Boys that they can still do well so that their mental state is a little stronger when facing Bayern later because even though there is Flick now at Barcelona but in the end there is always a gap where Bayern can always make Barcelona hassle with what Bayern shows in 90 minutes of the match.

Now Barcelona's chances are still open regardless of whether they will face a big match or not in the Champions League but still as long as they still have matches that need to be done then their opportunities are still very open.
On the other hand, Barcelonas focus must be slightly relaxed for the Champions League because after all they now still have to continue their consistency in La Liga which in fact for now they are still unbeaten.

We often discuss it, although in a match one team is theoretically favored, but when on the field the situation can change according to the conditions that occur. non-technically Barcelona should have been able to win the match against Manaco, but unexpectedly one of Barca's players was given a red card. which ultimately affected the team's overall performance, because they only played with ten players. in the match against Villarial Barcelona is still favored, although referring to the odds of both teams it seems that the match will be quite tough. Flick knows very well how to re-strategize his team, especially since several players are certain to be absent. there is no time to think about the defeat from Monaco, they have to focus back on La Liga in order to get full points even though it is an away match. Eric Garcia will likely be played again, because Flick does not have many options that can be played. however, considering the previous match, Flick must have re-planned his tactics and system. yes, to minimize mistakes or avoid losses like in the match against Manaco. btw, we know very well the style set by Marcelino and his standard is 4-4-2. Flick must have studied it, the point is Barcelona must win to maintain the points gap from their rivals.

The odds of these Spanish giants winning their oppositions is reasonable and important for gamblers. For me, I'm sticking to Barcelona and Real Madrid because they're the main contenders for the La Liga title this season. They've cope all these years with maintaing solid top spot on the La Liga table, do you think it's an easy thing to keep consistent epic performance in all season for decades? I bet, you should have thorough check of the EPL and Seria A, it's easily noticeable for the random Champions winning the league. Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are elite clubs that ought to win games without facing any atom of challenge. It's been really a rough road for these elite clubs because fighting to stay ontop is fiercely action.

The three teams you mentioned are indeed in a better position in the current standings so all three will try to win the match this weekend. Because they are also very aware that the opponents they will face this weekend are not tough opponents and it is an opportunity for them to get full points and stay in a better position. But if Real Madrid can win with a greater number of goals than Atletico Madrid, the position currently occupied by Atletico Madrid could be shifted by Real Madrid this weekend.

Every defeat is a big loss for any team, including Barcelona. The defeat to Monaco was basically unpredictable because many people thought Barcelona would win it, but the course of the match did not go according to plan especially because Barcelona had to play with 10 men from the 11th minute when the referee sent off Eric Garcia with a red card.

The match against Villarreal is certainly difficult, but Barcelona is the favorite to win. Barcelona's performance should be fine when they play with their best 11 players, but we don't know whether they will be affected by the defeat against Monaco or not. Villarreal are good, but Barcelona can take advantage of Marcelino García Toral's team weak side especially as they are not very good in defence.

Compared to what happened last season it is clear that this season does not seem to be going well for Real Sociedad, last season they performed quite surprisingly and were even able to end the season by being in the European zone, if we look at the transfers they do  this summer, their has indeed lost some of their mainstay players, but they also actually brought in a lot of other good players to replace the players who left.
But on the one hand we are not surprised by what is happening to Real Sociedad at the moment, because they are also no different from other small teams in the league so far who are often can surprissing by performing well in one season, but it is not surprising if in the next season they will perform badly,But despite their performance and status as a mid-table team in La Liga, then what surprises me is the loyalty of Zubimendi who continues to stay at Real Sociedad and rejected offer from the Premier League big teams in the transfer market last summer, although he knows that Real Sociedad will not always be able to show impressive performance in the league.

Come on Real Sociedad, they were never been this bad, I'm surprised they can't even beat La Liga 2 teams.

They didn't change the coach and only few players left the teams, players leaving is very normal for mediocre teams like Real Sociedad, but they performance drastically drop is really unexpected.

I guess Real Sociedad will enter relegation zone soon, until the transfer window open and they can sign great players.
