Cadiz vs Getafe is still the same 1-1 draw, acting as the host, Cadiz controlled the first half with 70%. But they conceded a goal early from Mayoral's penalty, fortunately they could equalize late in the first half after Negredo had scored. Now that the second half has just begun, will Cadiz be able to finish this match with a win?

Barcelona are going to play against Valencia away this weekend. And this is one of the difficult games for them actually. Because Valencia have been playing really decently in their home stadium so far in the La Liga. They could annoy Barcelona really much too. But Barcelona's performance in the recent times makes me hopeful about them to win this game anyway. They have improved it a lot compared to the start of the season. Maybe it is going to be really tough but they can still win this game by at least one goal. And I expect them to win by 2-1.

In fact, I don't see much difference in the game of Barcelona (I mean in the results) at the beginning of the championship and now https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/65/Fixtures/Spain-Barcelona They play plus or minus the same way, and the result rather depends on the state of the opponent, for example, in matches with Atlético, which they were able to beat when it was in a crisis, but at the beginning of the championship they lost to it because it played normally. Valencia is playing weakly, but in my opinion it is underestimated in this match - bookmakers give 3.65 for its victory.

yep it's true they are still playing in inconsistency in my opinion and still in transition but overall towards the end of the season they are doing pretty well now.
Talking about Valencia with the bet, this happened because indeed in the last few matches they couldn't make anything good. 3 defeats and 2 draws in the last 5 matches made them less confident in this match, especially when the opponent was Barcelona, which is currently in an upward trend after they are almost as bad as Valencia.
I personally will still bet for Barcelona now because the stakes are not too bad

When compared to Valencia, Barcelona yes obviously far better than them in terms of score and performances. Yes its worth betting on Barcelona. Barcelona is keeping up its best performances in the recent matches though the drawn two matches. Though Valencia might be playing in the home stadium, Barcelona will handle them and will have a easy win. There are less chance for draw as Valencia seems to be scoring max 2 goals but yes Barcelona has scored 3 to 4 at max. Hope Barcelona wins the match.

I liked Villarreal very much against Granada today. Their performance was fascinating and they won the match by a huge 4-1 result. And it was Danjuma's day also as he made a great hat-trick here. Granada were not a big opponent for them at least for this season but it was still crucial for Villarreal not to underestimate them. And they really cared about getting a strong win in this match. Villarreal have climbed to even the fifth position in the standings temporarily. If somehow Barcelona lose to Valencia, Villarreal will keep their position.

Antoine Griezmann's decision to return to Atletico Madrid because his services are no longer needed by Barcelona, ​​which is currently prioritizing young players, Antoine Griezmann at Barcelona is currently no longer needed for his services, perhaps because his performance is not as stable as it used to be, especially considering he is 30 years old. where Barcelona is currently rejuvenating the squad for the 2021-2022 competition, although his performance has not been stable for Atletico Madrid at this time but Antoine Griezmann can prove that he is not finished even though he is currently 30 years old

Griezmann performance isn't stable and his market value dropped significantly in the latest years to like third what is used to be. Regarding his actual situation and the end of the contract with ATM this summer?, I think he will return to Ligue 1? or move to Sociedad and let ATM afford Oyarzabal contract tho

But they conceded a goal early from Mayoral's penalty, fortunately they could equalize late in the first half after Negredo had scored. Now that the second half has just begun, will Cadiz be able to finish this match with a win?

Currently Cadiz is dominating with 68% ball possession. The host are probably playing well, and they are likely to win the match. Although, Getafe have a tight defense. If not for the penalty kick which Getafe got in the early minutes of the game, it would have been really tough for them to score. Anyway, let's see if Cadiz will be able to resist Getafe to the end of the match.

Villarreal really acted superior today, they destroyed Granada. The host dominated the game, but unfortunately they couldn't equalize the score and ended up scoring just a goal. However, Villarreal are now at the 5th position on the standings.

Good for Atletico Madrid! They really needed this kind of a victory after losing to even Levante in a home game last week. Osasuna were seeming like a really difficult opponent to defeat. And actually, they found many more goal opportunities than Atletico Madrid. But still, Atletico Madrid got a huge 3-0 win. Their strikers were on one of their best days as it seems. This should be an awakening game for Atletico Madrid but I still can't believe in them to make it. They need a long way to go to make people convinced about them.

Although today's Atletico Madrid won, I would not say that their overall gameplay was good. Atletico Madrid scored because Osasuna's defender and goalkeeper did not play well. Throughout the match we saw the dominance of Osasuna's players. Atletico Madrid made only 5 shots in the entire match. Osasuna's players have attacked more than Atletico Madrid.

cadiz appear dominant, they must be able to win this match if they want to get 3 points from this match, there's only a little time left, hope cadiz can do that.

madrid vs alaves, i think this is a good opportunity for Ancelotti if they want to try a new strategy so that when they fight PSG later in UCL leg 2, they are very ready.

until the end of the match they could not add back to their goal coffers.
Cadiz was indeed quite dominating in this match but in terms of kicks on goal they didn't really differ much because even though Getafe defended, their counter-attacks were quite troublesome.
It's going to be very difficult for Cadiz now that the chances of them being relegated will be even greater with this result

Finally Atletico finish one game without receive one goal. They played like the old Atletico Madrid, defensive and when they can a fast counterattack.
3-0 Its a unrealistic result for what the game was. Clearly Osasuna has bad luck. Lets see if Atletico can reamin the same for the next game. Especially for the big one in the UCL

Even 1 point is good for Cadiz.  It would have been better if they had won this match, of course, but Getafe did not allow them to win the game.  The draw between Getafe and Cadiz earned both teams a point, but there is still a chance for both teams to relegate.  Both teams want to raise themselves to the safe line as soon as possible.  Alaves still missing a game and on the same score as Cadiz (20p)

It was a great job by Atletico Madrid against Osasuna. To tell the truth, I was seeing this game as a loss of points for Atletico Madrid already. Maybe this was a prejudice after seeing their performance against Levante. But this was not the first big mistake they did in the end. The season in general is going on very badly for them. And Osasuna were a way tougher team than Levante obviously. Taking all these things into account, Atletico Madrid would have bigger problems. But they didn't and increased their self-confidence rate as a result by winning 3-0.

Well after so many lost points and lost matches they were able to win against a really good opponent. I didnt bet on this match due to a bad form by Atletico Madrid. Hopefully they will now continue a good run and try to be in the top 4 and make good results

February was a difficult month for real Madrid, from 3 matches the Whites lost 2 and drew 1, which is very sad that Real Madrid was defeated by PSG in the last 16 of the champions league, los Blancos must be able to beat Alaves tomorrow, to be able to boost performance them, because if los Blancos lose and are held to a draw by Alaves, it's possible that their performance will be affected to the champions league, because in March los Blancos will meet again with PSG in the second leg of the champions league..

Honestly it is not an easy thing to be in champions league and when you face a team like PSG which is sort of like the los galacticos of back in the day Real Madrid, then you have to sometimes accept the fact that you just got outtalented by a team.

I understand that Madrid is known to be great at champions league and it is not over yet so they could end up winning the next game and then go to next stage but a loss there wasn't really that much shocking. At the end of the day Madrid is far ahead enough on la liga that they didn't care about that one too much and a loss could be okay there, they can focus on it later on if anything happens on UCL, but first they need to figure out a way to beat PSG.

[JeromeTash]

La Liga faithfuls or followers.

Do you think it was a good move by Ancelotti to start Asensio ahead of Gareth Bale?

IMHO, much as it's an unpopular opinion, Asensio doesn't seem to be at his best right now and is very predicable with his left foot on the right flank of Real Madrid's attack. Bale gives a new dimension in attack. Maybe he would do well coming in as a sub.

[Alisha-k]

Real Madrid has to win this match against deportivo alaves to increase to their chances of winning since they lost to PSG. But they have dominance in possession but they have to score goals to assured themselves of a win as Alaves are also fighting hard for a win.

Congratulations for Atlatico Madrid, they have an impressive performance tonight, and they have moved to the forth position in the laliga table before Barcelona play their own match. Wining 3-0 against Osasuna should make them strong and prepare them against their Champions League round of 16 match against Manchester united

[KTChampions]

Real made the first shot on target against Alaves only in the 43rd minute. Frankly, I expected Real Madrid to be more active in this match and everything will be decided in the first half, but Real Madrid does not show any motivation to win big. Bookmakers are still confident that Real will win, but the odds have already grown quite strongly from 1.22 to 1.45.

[buwaytress]

Found myself watching Real-Alaves even though my brain's pretty mush now after an entire day of watching football almost back-to-back. Wish I could spend my weekends better but hey, I work hard so deserve this right?

But back to the game: yes, @KTChampions they had a few chances, but haven't really threatened. And Jason should have put his team ahead or at least tested Courtois. Benzema a little anonymous.

Odds now on Alaves handicap looks pretty but I already have a ML on them.

[Rengga Jati]

Do you think it was a good move by Ancelotti to start Asensio ahead of Gareth Bale?

If you compare Asensio and Bale, you must know Asensio is much better. Asensio can give a real contribution in some matches during this season, delivering assists and creating goals. While Bale, I didn't see him deliver any assists or goals this season, probably because he rarely played. So, choosing Asensio as the starter in this match is the right move for sure. In my humble opinion, the best trio strikers of Real Madrid this season are Vinicius-Benzema-Asensio.

Frankly, I expected Real Madrid to be more active in this match and everything will be decided in the first half, but Real Madrid does not show any motivation to win big.

I assume they will play aggressively in the second half. They must know they will fail to get 3 points if they cannot try to improve their attacking. I hope there is a change in their midfield, maybe the coach can replace Valverde with Kroos. Kroos is more creative than Valverde in delivering assists to create chances for Real Madrid strikers to create goals.
