In the fourth round of La Liga, Athletic will face Atletico. Atletico unexpectedly played a goalless draw at home against Espanyol, while Athletic secured their first win by narrowly defeating Valencia 1-0.
For Athletic, this will be the third tough match in a row, and they may lack the strength to hold off Atletico, who are determined to play for the win.

My prediction: Atletico will win with a narrow score of 1-0 or 2-1.

The game today is not just another one Barca plays. Flick's had them playing like a machine, undefeated thus far, proving they're not only tactically good but also mentally strong too. Valladolid is... To be honest, their depth and skill fall short. Barca's has the benefit of home fans, which they will take advantage of. Madrid is sliding, hence now is a perfect chance to send a strong statement.

Still, this goes beyond the victory of today. Its about determining the general direction of the season. Playing to dominate, Barca's performance lets everyone know they are the team to challenge this year. They are pursuing the jugular, not only three points. In the realm of soccer, winning is more than just a goal; its about winning large and winning stylishly. And Barca's aiming for today exactly is what Hence, back off, unwind, and savor the spectacle.

Barcelona destroyed Real Valladolid in a legendary game. They've already scored 5 goals and there are still 15 minutes to go. Raphinha scored his first hat-trick. Lewandowski is also showing that he is much better this season with 4 goals in the first 4 games. This Barcelona is very hard to stop. Real and Atletico are already behind. Hansi Flick has put together a very good team, building on last year. They are going into international break in high spirits.

Barca did not stop their action and now Raphinha scored the 5th goal for a big win for Barcelona. Valladolid is not so strong in defense and facing Barca who are very dominant in attack they had too much difficulty.
a bad day for Valladolid, they certainly did not expect to be destroyed by Barca like that. there are many things to improve and it is a big job for the coach.
the match is not over yet and there may still be opportunities to add goals for Barca. but this is certainly their extraordinary victory. they are firmly at the top of the standings.

Checking from stats and the results obtained from each team so far from the beginning of the season, Barcelona stands a better chance to win in today’s match. If they fail to, it’ll affect them going further in the league because opportunities like this are meant to be utilized and make the club stand in a better position for the fight of the league title. Real Madrid drew their last match, so it means this is an opportunity for them to be at the top of the league title fight. Every season, in the end, it’s always a fight between Real Madrid and Barcelona for the league title and this season also has no exception in my opinion. The match is in 75th minutes and Barcelona is already leading with five goals, one can confidently say they’ve won in today’s match and just need to start preparing for their next encounter after this one. Hansi Flick is really doing a great job.

Now Barcelona has scored 4 goals, and honestly, I didn't expect Barcelona to score many goals in this match. A tough match for Valladolid. The 4th match went smoothly for Barcelona. The next match is against a stronger team Girona. I don't think Flick will continue to use the same strategic formation. Maybe Barcelona will have a little difficulty when facing a more open attacking team or a team with a stronger defense. What is better than the current Barcelona team, they are not locked into Lewandowski's game. Other players like Yamal and Raphinha have very important roles.

Hansi Flick is doing his job quite well, even though as we know he didn't get much budget this season and that means he doesn't have many options in the transfer window, but he was still able to give Barcelona a good start. 4 consecutive wins that brought Barcelona to the top for the time being, and that is very different from Real Madrid who have only managed to get 1 win, even though Real Madrid have high expectations with the presence of Mbappe, but the player has not found his day in La Liga.

They were truly exceptional in the first half and it paid off with their 3 goals lead against their visitors. I have come to love the job Raphinha and Pedri are doing in the attacking midfield and Robert Lewandowski, who have scored 3 goals this season, is always well positioned for the ball. This Barcelona formation can match any of the teams this season because it will be very difficult to stop them from scoring in a match. I don't expect much goals this second half because my prediction is Barcelona to win by 4 goals without conceding any.

From the look of Barcelona brilliant performance in the first half, it shows that their opponent is too weak and small to play them. Dani Olmo is a good player and one of the best transfer so far this season. I might be to quick to conclude who will be the winner of this season title but I think Barcelona is showing that they can achieve it very easy from the way they started the season. So many young talents in Barcelona giving them more advantage, Raphina is doing great with good input in the first half. An easy first half for Barcelona with a 3-0 lead.

Looks like Barcelona is not ready to take chances in this advantage they have in the beginning part of this season as they are currently winning Real Valladolid by 3:0 just in half time. Barcelona keeps amazing many with their current performance in this early stage of the season as they already has 9 points from their previous 3 games played so if they finally win Real Valladolid in this game that means they will have 12 points and will still maintain the top of the La Liga table. I like how coordinated the Barcelona players are and they are working with real team spirit as they are not allowing the current financial state of the club to affect their mindset.
            Robert Lewadowski has been a major goal scorer for Barcelona as he has scored 4 goals in 3 matches and am even feeling he could score another goal in this game against Valladolid before full-time. Now that Barcelona have gotten clear advantage against Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid they should try and keep up to it and never fall out at any point as that is the only way they can hope to win the La Liga title this season. Real Valladolid's defense was very easy to penetrate when they face Real Madrid and same thing is happening in this match against Barcelona as they finds it easy to break through their defense and scores.

Barcelona showed from the very beginning of the match that they are not going to put off scoring goals for long, and are already winning. I think that they are definitely in a good mood because their main competitors Real and Atletico have already lost points twice at the very beginning of the season, and Barcelona will want to maintain their advantage, and even possibly increase it if one of them continues to lose points. Valladolid withstood the first good game in defense against Real, but their defense broke down much earlier against Barcelona.

Barcelona ranked first on the La Liga table and this is good stands from them, always up and ready for big games. Barcelona new coach, Flick is unbeaten in La Liga this season, it's a pretty good score from Barcelona and their magnificent players. Barcelona will definitely win their oppositions in today's game. Few minutes for Barcelona game to kickoff and we completely understand the atmosphere at Camp Nou. Although it a little bit amazing to see Barcelona ontop, thrashing every oppositions that comes their paths, a good sign of relieve for them.  They've rivals this season, this is more major reasons for Blaugrana to always focused and having themselves prepared for oppositions.

Ancelotti responded to Real Madrid current performance casually, he said it was very natural for us to get criticism because expectations were very high for his squad. In my opinion, Ancelotti showed an elegant attitude in overcoming the concerns of fans who saw Real Madrid slow to heat up, as he did last season when fans expected a suitable replacement for Benzema departure to Al Ittihad. It was proven that Ancelotti was able to overcome every challenge that existed, it seems that this season the Italian manager can also do his job well.

The journey is still very long, there are still 35 more matches ahead, being 4 points behind Barcelona is not a big problem, everything can change in the future. At first glance, Real Madrid is not well organized, between the midfield and the attack line, Ancelotti continues to experiment to find the best solution to the problem. With a number of quality players in the squad, of course Real Madrid can easily create consistency in the future. All clubs will experience a transition period that makes their journey a little unstable, including Real Madrid even though they have a very ideal squad.

The match is about to start and it is clear that Barcelona is the favorite in this match. Most bettors will definitely lean towards Barcelona, ​​​​with the low odds given by the bookies indicating that Barca is very strong and there is no problem in their game and also there is no reason for Barcelona not to win this match because the opponent they will face is Valladolid and it can be said that it is not a difficult obstacle for Barcelona to get full points, especially since Barca has appeared consistently in the last 3 matches by sweeping all their opponents.

I think it's not a matter of making a gap in points in the standings with Real Madrid, it doesn't really matter because it's still early in the season but building Barcelona's team confidence and continuing to be able to show their best performance is more important

So far Hansi Flick has been quite successful in making Barcelona's team performance develop better at the start of this season and it is far from the expectations of many people who had doubted them but surprisingly Hansi Flick was able to make it different and the most important thing from the positive results they achieved in several early season matches is that they can improve the mentality and confidence of this team to be able to continue to show the same thing.

This week against Valladolid I think it's not that difficult for Barcelona, ​​in terms of quality Valladolid this season is not that good and also Barcelona who are in full confidence will certainly easily win this match in front of their supporters later.

I bet big on Barcelona's victory in the match later.

That is quite possible in today's match because besides Barcelona who will compete at home, the depth of Real Valladolid's squad is also not good enough or not balanced enough with the squad in Barcelona. So Hansi Flick must really be able to take advantage of today's match for full points because it can cause a fairly good gap with his eternal rival, Real Madrid. Because the draw obtained by Real Madrid when playing against Las Palmas is also quite beneficial for Barcelona if Barcelona can win in today's match.

Barcelona must be able to take advantage of every opportunity that exists to continue to stay away from their main rival in the championship race, Barcelona and Madrid currently have a difference of 4 points and their can widen the temporary gap between the two if they win over Valladolid to night, if we compare the head to head of the two teams, of course Barcelona is much superior to Valladolid so far so it seems that the match will not be a difficult match for Barcelona to Getting 3 points, Barcelona have experienced a lot of problems  their financially and squad,but it should not affect  performance and also their ambition to be able to return to being a team worthy of winning La Liga this season, so far Hansi Flick's journey is still quite positive with Barcelona and I hope they can continue to maintain that form to give Madrid a tight competition in the title race in end season.

Despite the fans' high expectations for Real Madrid this season, especially with the presence of Mbappe on the front line of the team, it must be admitted that Real Madrid's performance at the beginning of this season was so bad and the many criticisms are something that is appropriate, but I still believe in the current Real Madrid squad to be able to recover immediately because this team is a team that has a strong mentality and I think Ancelotti is also not so worried about Real Madrid's early season performance which is not so good, and I believe we are just waiting for the time to be able to see or meet the expectations of Real Madrid's performance this season with their superior squad in all lines.

Soon Barcelona will again target 3 points from Valladolid, and for Hansi Flick this is a great opportunity to continue to widen the gap at the top of the standings and also from its rival Real Madrid. It should not be a difficult match if you look at the depth of each squad Barcelona is superior. For that if they succeed in securing 3 points then Barcelona will temporarily have a difference of 7 points from Madrid.

Barcelona face off against Valladolid at home today, however we back Barcelona as favourites. Moreover, in today's match we can definitely say that Barcelona is the most likely to win and it would be wise to bet on Barcelona. Although the betting rating for Barcelona in today's match is very low, but we can definitely win here if we bet. Today's betting odds in favor of Barcelona 1.22, and draw 6.50 the odds are Valladolid 10.00 for the opposition, we can understand that this match is a win for Barcelona. Moreover, since the match is going to be held at Barcelona's home ground, Barcelona is very strong and they are showing their great performance in every match this season, so Barcelona will win today's match.
