As a coach, Xavi knows exactly what he has to do with his squad. The problem is, some injured players need time to fully recover. one of them who needs time is De Jong, the absence of this player has quite an impact on their performance, especially in the middle sector. However, in fact, Xavi started trying to experiment with new systems and patterns. we can refer to the matches between El Clasico and Real Sociedad. What is certain is that it takes time to improve and close deficiencies while strengthening the system.

Like Ancelotti, at the start of pre-season they were very doubtful. Since the competition started, people have been surprised that Madrid is currently without a pure striker. and it seems that Xavi will imitate the same style as long as his players have not recovered from their injuries. Also, it requires players to be ready and adapt to the new system that Xavi is implementing.

We'll just have to wait and see, whether Xavi is able to bring his squad back to perform better.
On the other hand, Barcelona's current defensive condition is not so ideal. They conceded 12 goals in 12 matches, although it's not specific that Barcelona concedes a goal in every match. The point is, Xavi knows what he has to do. Whether it works or not, we'll just leave it to time. After all, this competition still has a lot of games left until the end of the season.

Xavi has convinced me so far of his coaching abilities for Barcelona. He has good tactical abilities and can adapt to the depth of his squad, but sometimes the team's play and performance does not match what was planned. Barcelona has been less stable this season in defense mainly because they have had injury problems there. They also lost some of their best midfielders in many of their previous matches and that has affected the team's performance this season.

I think Xavi will be very confident if all his best players are back on the training ground after suffering injuries. Barcelona had good squad depth this season if they played with their best squad, but unfortunately they missed that due to injuries. Joao Cancelo, Balde, Kounde and Araujo are the best in defense, while Pedri, Gundogan, De Jong will support stability in midfield. Joao Felix, Lewandowski and Raphinha will be good in attack and that is the best line up I think for Barcelona this season.

Only 1 game from LaLiga on this Friday but it should be a good as Bilbao faces Celta Vigo.

In this game , both teams will look to take points because Bilbao needs points to maintain their 5th position in LaLiga and Celta Vigo needs points avoid relegation zone so that's why I do expect both teams to score and I think a draw might be the best bet to take on this one. 

If considering the head to head results available, then at least Celta Vigo is also not an easy opponent for Bilbao. But yes, because at this moment Bilbao is in a good position in the top five, while Celta Vigo is in the relegation zone then maybe, Bilbao has a chance to win. The reason is, Bilbao will also play at home in this match and also, so far Celta Vigo has more defeats when playing away. Therefore, although a draw can still happen, but I personally don't seem too sure. But even so, I still believe that Celta Vigo also has the ability to be able to score in this match, so betting on both teams to score and or total goals I think to be a good option as well, in addition to betting for BilBao to win.

It is reported that Arda Guler suffered an injury before the match against Braga in the Champions League a few days ago and it does not appear to be a serious injury. Ancelotti said that the injury suffered by Arda Guler previously had recurred and he did not want to force the Turkish wonderkid to play for Real Madrid in the near future. Ancelotti seems to be very protective of his player and does not want a similar incident to result in him having to suffer another long injury. Considering that this week is the last La Liga match before all the players return for the international break, it seems that Arda Guler will have quite a long 2 weeks to rest before he makes his debut with Real Madrid.

So, does this mean if arda guler was also injury prone as well? I have seen that he had been rumored to play even before the match against braga but it's surprising us about how arda is still facing his injury.
I think that he was injury prone. Ancellotti shall not try to give him burden to start his debut. Let him try to recover himself from his injury. it will be good to build his mentality as well.
Arda is always consistently absent due to the injury. I think that news is a proof that if arda was injury prone. it's bad to miss him in the match against braga but this is what ancellotti needs to do.
Arda needs to take rest much longer than what he has expected.

It is possible that Arda Guler will become injury prone if he experiences a relapse during his recovery period and of course this will continue to cut into his playing time while at Real Madrid. Even though this was his first season at Real Madrid, he was immediately greeted with a prolonged injury. Arda Guler got injured during a training session before this season started and I don't imagine if he plays in an official match it could be a bad thing if he gets injured again. However, I hope he will not become the next Hazard at Real Madrid and he must immediately recover from his injury as best as possible so that his career can also be in the spotlight.

Arda Guler is too young to be compared with Eden Hazard, he won't end up like Eden Hazard either. This is just the genesis of his career with Real Madrid. I doubt if he is the first player to be hurt with injury in his first season.
The head of the club has assured him over his game time that he will have his time. Player's returning from injuries are meant to be rushed into the team to play so they don't get injured again.

He has been accessed by the medicals and doctors and was given the go ahead. When it's right, Carlo Ancellotti will let him have his chance.

for a game like this where both teams are struggling and in desperate need of winning, I think the option of both teams actually scoring is not a bad idea at all because the teams will definitely want to come and play especially celta Vigo who are so close to the regulation zone. Athletic Bilbao have the home advantage no Doubt but it's definitely not going to be an easy match between the two teams despite the fact the season hasn't been all that friendly.

[Weawant]

Bilbao and celta Vigo, are two average teams, Celta Vigo haven't won any of their last five games and are currently at 18th position but with seven points with three loss and two draws, they have both alternate winning against each other in their last meeting according to their H2H.

Celta Vigo is still at the relegation zone on the table and may likely be relegated as they have just seven points after playing over nine games, but atletico bilbao will still not go down to celta Vigo if they loose this match, bibao will be struggling for draw, although they have got the home advantage but I don't think it's possible Bilbao will win Celta Vigo.

[Roseline492]

Girona started this season in La Liga with victories and found themselves in first place in the standings. I think they will try to stay in the lead for as long as possible. This is a big problem for Real Madrid, Barcelona or Atletico Madrid. Girona play only in La Liga and that is their advantage.

Girona have really perform very well this season La Liga, unlike there last season they were having challenges in times of performance but they were able to identify there mistakes last season and put in there possible best to creat a good record these season and they have been doing it by still maintaining there stand on the La Liga table.

However even if Girona did not win the La Liga this season they have proven to be one of the best team on La Liga, so perhaps in times of performance I think Real Madrid has the highest performance on La Liga this season so I'm seeing them as the champion this season.

I believe the best bet to play in that match should be goal goal because each team wants to win, but Bilbao has a greater chance because they are better than them, but football is unpredictable. Because Celta Vigo is in the relegation zone, you can try and play the bet like under 3.5 because I see the goals can't be more than 3 goals in the match because the match will be tough but Athletic Club is playing them now, let's see how the first half ends but if they draw this match real Betis will have the opportunity to top them in the table, because I see Sevilla are not performing good in the league and they will face Real Betis this weekend, and I believe they can defeat them in the match, because even in the Champions League, Arsenal defeated them in the first and second legs because I don't think they can qualify to the next round in the Champions League and even the Europa League is a possibility.

[Furious 7]

He can still compete but when you look at this season where his decline is very clear, it is not impossible that next season (if he is still at Barcelona) he will get worse.

Lewa's contract at Barcelona is still quite long actually because looking at the rest of the current contract Lewandowski's remaining service period is still at least 2 more seasons but it does not mean he can still survive with his current situation.
This season there are several things that have happened to Lewandowski and indeed it is difficult to avoid when injuries and the lack of supply of balls from midfield when some players like Pedri or De Jong are absent make the supply of the ball less and this disrupts Lewandowski's performance.
Now actually when talking about the future he can still compete and stay at Barcelona but his performance must improve and seeing from the last few matches especially after the entry of Joao into the squad I think Lewandowski can still improve again and at least improve his poor performance at the beginning of the season.

@Furious7 Lewandowski is a big player and if he feels that he can no longer perform well for Barcelona he’ll ask to leave but till he’s playing for them he’ll give it all and help them win many trophies. Lastly the season is yet long hence we should give him time as his experience will come handy and he’ll definitely score more goals in coming matches as I yet feel that he has the quality to play at the highest level.

Actually this is like a cliché because there is no need to say he will do that because he is apart from professional players and we also know what his performance on the field is like so saying he will strive to play well is actually in my opinion unnecessary because his abilities have proven that, but for now we also have to open our eyes because with his current age and with the decline in performance that occurs it cannot be left unchecked. Give him time? Now with a player of Lewa's age there is actually no need to need time because he must be the starting line up, it's just that he must try to improve his performance in a better direction like before because this season when compared to last season his performance decreased dramatically.

[QueenVera]

Really curious to see their performance drop because so far they have won 10 of 12 matches. Girona only lost to Real Madrid and only drew once against Real Sociedad, this proves that they have something else to rely on. I certainly agree that a team like Girona will not be leading the standings for long, unless Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid cannot overtake them due to poor performance.

We might be surprised if Girona can create a points gap with other competitors of 6 to 8 points, but I'm not sure that will happen. Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are better teams than Girona based on history, but Girona cannot be underestimated at all this season. Girona looks likely to lead the standings until the first half of the season is over, but of course I am curious to find out how they can maintain their consistency this season.

A team like Girona leading the log out of 12 outings is something really crazy and fun because football is really fun and full of surprises, Girona might just have a success story like that of Leicester but will the power house of Spain like Real Madrid and Barcelona let the title slip their hands.

 Financial Capacity of a team is a big determinat in winning a league. Team holding on over a period of time is also one that's to be taken into consideration, will Girona be able to hold on to the league over a period of time, because consistency really matters to win a league, left for I doubt if they'll be able to keep their winning streaks for a very long time, talk more of winning the Laliga tittle, We'll find out in coming weeks.

Real Madrid have quality players who are ever ready to go extra miles for the purpose to deliver the club. Carlo Ancelotti still knows the specific players he would use in tough games and the ones that will be consider as lesser priorities.

You could say that Real Madrid's regeneration is quite good, they have really talented young players. So they often need to have more playing hours in order to optimize their performance. On the other hand, Real Madrid also sometimes still retains some of their mainstay players who are actually starting to age, because there is no need to doubt their skills. It's just that age doesn't lie about a decline. And Ancelotti really understands this, when to use them and when to stop.

-snip-

Modric's future will be determined at the end of the season, as will Kroos'. I tend to think that Real Madrid are already prepared to lose their two best midfielders next season because this season Ancelotti started to rotate more for them. Modric and Kross haven't had many chances to play together in one game this season, so it's a sign that they are starting to fall by the wayside and will only be replaced by younger midfielders.

Yes, we don't need to question their abilities anymore, in their era, they were key players in the midfield, an irreplaceable midfield trio at that time, Modric, Kross and also Casemiro. In the old era with CR7. And maybe now is the time for Real Madrid's younger players to show their abilities, how they can make Real Madrid's midfield something ordinary again.

In terms of strength and also on paper statistics, Atletic Club should not have to experience significant difficulties against Celta Vigo. But indeed, sometimes football is that interesting. Like what is happening now. In fact, the current score is tied at 3 - 3. In fact, Celta Vigo had taken the lead first. This should be a notification for Benitez to make his squad even better in achieving its goals. because, they are not a bottom team and they seem to have quite a hard time stopping or attacking Celta Vigo. Currently in the 83rd minute, and the position is still a draw 3 - 3.

It will be quite good for Girona if Girona is able to maintain its impressive performance until the end of this season, because tomorrow Girona will face Rayo Vallecano, who previously drew at home to Real Madrid. So Girona also needs to be careful with the Rayo Vallecano team for tomorrow if Girona still wants to maintain its position at the top of the La Liga table, because Rayo Vallecano can also be quite dangerous for other teams this season.

Bilbao is much stronger than Celta Vigo this season. Celta Vigo's performance is quite poor. The team is now in the relegation zone. And the team is trying their best to get out of the relegation zone, but they are not succeeding. The team has won only one out of 12 matches. And so the chances of Calta Vigo winning against Bilbao are very low. Bilbao is strong in home matches. However, the matches between these two teams are competitive. In the last 5 head-to-head matches, both teams have two wins and one draw. This is why Bilbao's players have to play very carefully even if the opposition is weak. I am quite optimistic that Athletic Bilbao will win this match.

It was a very interesting match and Bilbao was able to win in the end, actually in the 90th minute I thought the match would end in a draw result but Bilbao was able to scored in the extra minutes and ended with a score of 4-3.
But I must to be admit that Celta was very good in this game, being able to score 3 goals when playing Away is not an easy. although in the end they also lost, but they showed a good performance at there, and like what has been guessed that Celta was not easy to beat.

The first La Liga match this week opened very interestingly, there were lots of goals at there, I hope we will see lots of goals again tomorrow in Rayo match against Girona.

[Richbased]

So Girona also needs to be careful with the Rayo Vallecano team for tomorrow if Girona still wants to maintain its position at the top of the La Liga table, because Rayo Vallecano can also be quite dangerous for other teams this season.

Girona so far have been very consistent in their form and I must commend their team spirit and their head coach for doing a wonderful job so far, what gives me joy in football is when the smaller teams are rising up to competite with the big clubs in the title race and there needs to be a change of circle of title winners almost all years.

This Girona match with Rayo vallecano is a very important match to Girona considering the outcome of vallecano's last game with real Madrid which they were able to succeed in earning a surprising draw at the Santiago Bernabue stadium last Sunday, so if Girona succeeds in defeating Rayo vallecano in this match then they will be extending their title hope as well.

[SOKO-DEKE]

Girona performances this season are more than people expected, because it was hard to believe before the season started that the Girona squad could perform in this great form. It is already 12 matches they have played, and Girona have won 10 and lost and drawn one game. This is seriously a surprise to me because I don't think they can maintain this performance to this stage.
 
Girona's next match is going to be against Rayo Vallencano, which is coming up tomorrow, but we are yet to know what the outcome of the game will be because Rayo Vallencano is also a strong team despite not performing well like Girona. With the way Girona is performing now, it is clear that Girona is the favorite team to win the game tomorrow, but let's see what will happen tomorrow. If it is possible Rayo Vallencano will be able to draw Girona, but I don't think they will win the match against Giron with Girona current form.

Yeah is a challenge for Girona when playing away against Rayo Vallecano is certainly not easy, especially Rayo is confident because he managed to draw against Real Madrid last week but the draw is enough for Girona to secure the top of the standings, it seems that the bookie predicts this match will end up a draw we can see it based on the odds offered at the betting market and we know that Girona has a good defense so it is not easy to concede.
Barcelona and Real Madrid also play tomorrow, Barcelona against a weaker team so it is predicted not difficult to get 3 points, while Madrid against Valencia certainly not easy to beat the Mediocre team like them even Valencia can surprise us like when they beat Atletico Madrid, but yeah Valencia needs a miracle to defeat Real Madrid.

[Velvet78]

If you have noticed there is some decline in Real Madrid's performance in the league for a couple of weeks. It is more like an inconsistency actually because there is an example like a win in the El Clasico recently as well. They couldn't beat Vallecano the last time no matter how hard they tried. It was quite unexpected.

Of course top teams don't always win their games. But while Girona are this much dominant in the league I thought Real Madrid wouldn't make a point loss in such game. There must be so many people who bet on Real Madrid for that game and sometimes unlucky things happen. 

Real Madrid's performance in last couple of weeks shows that they lack of clinical forward, they played good and dominated the games, but they struggle to score. we could see that some of their goals come at the last minutes of the games after missing some chances throughout the games. this also related to the opponents who already can anticipate how Real Madrid build attacks which is lack of variations.

the lack of clinical forward makes Madrid struggle to face the low block of defensive line of their opponents. this is one of the reasons that bellingham is their Top scorer right now.

It is the truth now that they don't have a centre-forward such as Benzema now. If Bellingham hasn't played extra since the beginning of the season then I can't imagine how their current condition would have been. Joselu seemed promising first but his performance dropped really sharply. He can't improve even a bit these days.

Rodrygo is also not much different than him. If Vinicius Junior start to be as productive as his times with Benzema then even the Bellingham - Vinicius Junior duo would be enough to score most of the goals of this team.

[Slow death]

Ath Bilbao's game against Celta Vigo was a game that must have left fans of both teams very anxious during the game. celta de vigo was the first team to score a goal, but 7 minutes later Ath bilbao scored the equalizer, making one think that it would be a game with Ath with greater chances of victory, since celta de vigo are in the relegation zone and in the last 5 games they haven't won a single game. but Celta de Vigo scored the second goal again and took the lead, unfortunately it was an advantage that didn't last long because in 11 minutes after Celta de Vigo scored the second goal, Ath Bilbao scored 2 goals and with that they were at an advantage

and when it was thought that this advantage would be permanent, then Celta de Vigo scored goals again 14 minutes after having conceded a goal and with that the game ended in a draw. when it was thought that this game would end in a draw, at 90 + 8 Ath Bilbao scored a goal and won the game. I believe it must have been very disappointing what Celta Vigo fans watched in this game. It would have been an opportunity for them to have had a victory and get out of the relegation zone, but with this defeat they are in a more serious situation, because if their opponents in the relegation zone win in their games, then the difference in points will be greater, making with Celta de Vigo becoming the main candidate for relegation

[Captain Corporate]

As a Turkish person I might be a little biased towards the whole Arda Guler situation, but I have to say the kid is only 18 years old and from the images that we have seen so far, from the day he got to the team versus the latest pictures that we got of him, we can clearly see that he has put on some serious amount of muscle on his legs, not that huge of a difference on his body but his legs definitely got huge compared to how it was just six months ago. That could be one of the reasons why he got injured so frequently, they know that he is talented, but they are overloading him with extensive training that pushes his body to limits which injures him a lot. The moment they let go of his training situation, he will probably get better and won't get injured as much.

[TelolettOm]

Arda Guler is too young to be compared with Eden Hazard, he won't end up like Eden Hazard either. This is just the genesis of his career with Real Madrid. I doubt if he is the first player to be hurt with injury in his first season.
The head of the club has assured him over his game time that he will have his time. Player's returning from injuries are meant to be rushed into the team to play so they don't get injured again.

He has been accessed by the medicals and doctors and was given the go ahead. When it's right, Carlo Ancellotti will let him have his chance.

I can agree with you about this. Arda Guler is still 18 years old, it is too early claiming he will experience the same thing as Eden Hazard. Moreover, Arda Guler doesn't experience a too long injury as Eden Hazard. As far as I know, he already recovered from the injury. But he seems still waiting for the best time to play again. I assume Ancelotti doesn't want to take a big risk by suddenly put him on the lineup. Ancelotti lets him to sit on the bench first, Arda needs to ensure first his fitness. However, I think we will see him to play again in the near future. Maybe he will play in matchday 14, when Real Madrid against Cadiz.
