You confused Cadiz and Getafe. I think that the home match against Getafe will not be a big problem for Sevilla. If Real continues to lose points, and the next match Real is playing against strong Valencia, then Sevilla, taking into account the match in stock, will even be able to become on a par with Real or bypass it. This will not mean that they have a real chance of a championship, but nevertheless it will be a serious achievement for Sevilla.

I don't think Barcelona can enter the top 4 this January because they lack veteran players like City have Bernardo Silva Chelsea have Thiago Silva Liverpool have Salah Van Dijk United have Ronaldo You can't finish top 4 with Youngsters without having veteran players. I miss the Barca from the 2000s and early 2010s, I feel so unhappy watching them the last 4 years, i know Rijkaard had his issues as a coach but the Barca teams from the 2000s were so fun to watch with Ronaldinho, Eto’o, Deco, Puyol, Valdes, Marquez, Larsson, Van Bronckhorst, young Iniesta, young Messi, truly fun, and then the Guardiola era was absolutely prefect football, that’s peak Barca and was a joy to watch.

Barcelona lost too many players due to injury so this team appeared unstable throughout the season. Xavi has had a positive impact on Barcelona's game, I find the game much more pleasing to the eye, but without a lot of top players I don't think they are Barcelona's first team. But if you are a Barcelona supporter then you should not be pessimistic about them because you can expect something good for your team.
Here are some Barcelona match in January especially in Laliga:
Granada vs Barcelona
Barcelona vs Rayo Vallecano
Alaves vs Barcelona
I just hope Barcelona will win all three match if it's not postponed. Barcelona's victory would have been possible, but in the last match Barcelona still had a problem with the goalscorer.

The most important thing is that Barcelona still has a very big chance to be in the top 4 at the end of the season, not just about in January. Also, the only team that is very likely to be knocked out of the top 4 is Betis, we also saw yesterday Betis lost at home by Celta Vigo. The defeat at least gives a rating, that to maintain the top position will not be easy but a team that has a winning mentality like Barcelona is very likely to rise and defend it.

I still wouldn't rule out Barcelona placing in the top 4 as things are going a bit well after Xavi came but at the same time, it will be really hard for them to do so. As they already lack the talent.

Yes, they have young talent, but the mixture of senior players to guide these young blood is also needed in order for a team to succeed.

Players like Messi and Suarez left and their attack has lost a huge lot of sharpness. Maybe it will take some time for them to get back in shape and be one of the best in Europe again.

Sevilla have lost just two games this season and drawn five. And Real Madrid have drawn 4 matches. The Sevilla team is 5 points behind Real Madrid in performing less than one match.
Sevilla's next match will be against Cadiz. They are getting 5 days break before this match. They need to be properly prepared. Cadiz is a team that has beaten a strong team like Real Madrid. Now the players will be mentally confident. So Sevilla must win by playing well.

Sevilla shouldn't be looked down on. Cardiz is no match at all the might have luckily won against Real Madrid but going by the point difference between both teams there might be no such opportunity again for cardiz as the struggle with the 19th position on the league it could be possible this very match would likely push them to the last position on the league

As a result of the addition of Torres to Barcelona's squad, Laporta warns rivals that the club is back on top.
As a result of Lionel Messi's departure at the end of August and some underwhelming results in the first half of the season, the Catalan side has had a tough year. At the group stage of the Champions League, Barça were knocked out due to their disappointing league position. Laporta's belief that Barca will be back to their best is backed up by Torres' €55 million move from Manchester City. What do you think?

I think they'll be back today or tomorrow. Slowly, they're getting back to their best. Now they're just waiting for injury players to return.

I don't think Barcelona will return to form so soon. If Torres is in the squad, maybe Barcelona's forward will be strong. But even though the forward is strong, there are many more problems in the Barcelona team. Their midfield and defense are not stable. Despite having a lot of talented players in defense, they are not able to play well only due to unstable strategy. With Torres in the team, the midfield needs to be strengthened. It will not be able to rise to the top.

Expecting torres himself to be able to revive barcelona performance this season is of course impossible, Torres was indeed a good player when he first joined manchester city but instead he was not able to maintain his performance so far, so I think besides signing torres barcelona must bring other players who will back up Torres appearance later in Barcelona, ​​besides that I agree that Barcelona should bring in other players who play as midfielders and defenders this season, because after all Torres will be able to perform well in scoring goals if he gets support and a good supply of bait from other players including from a midfielder.

Sevilla are the leading team by 1-0 now. But I can't say that they didn't let Cadiz do much thing against them. They have the same amount of shots so far in the game. However Sevilla still had many more dangerous attacks than Cadiz. And they have a very big percentage of ball possession now. But this is still a very risky score to be honest. Sevilla scored the goal a few minutes ago and they had better find the second goal as soon as possible to secure a win.

Currently, both visiting teams enjoying lead here in Spain with Athletic Bilbao is having surely win in their pocket with having 1 - 3 lead against Osasuna even home team take very early lead but fail to keep this now trailing by 1 - 3, In second match spirited Sevilla is having 0 - 1 against relegated Cadiz with 58th minute goal from Ocampos with this win they can narrow gape of five points between top Real Madrid and themselves with one match in hand very interesting situation in La Liga even Real Madrid is still very strong for winning this year's title.

Barcelona and Atletico Madrid both struggling for having place into top four and no other team is capable to challenge these two top ranked teams in Spanish League.

Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are trailing behind now unfortunately. But at least, we saw that they both won last week. Especially Atletico Madrid needed the win so bad as they lost four times in a row recently. And I liked to see them performing at a high level also. This could be a good sign for them considering the future games. And Barcelona managed to win by a 1-0 result against Mallorca maybe but they really struggled also. Mallorca could have equalized the score and got a point. They need to improve their game much more than this.

[perfect999]

Sevilla had a really tough away match against Cadiz yesterday. But thankfully, they managed to beat their opponent by 1-0 with the goal Ocampos scored. After the Atletico Madrid match, he is again the life saver for his team as he scores the winning goal. On the week Real Madrid got a shocking loss against Getafe, it was a crucial win for Sevilla. Now the gap between them is 5 points again and Sevilla have one match missing also. They can even decrease it to 2 points.

Difficult or not, they managed to get a win and that puts them 8 points ahead of the closes team, that is 3 game difference and I feel like even though it is not guaranteed a second place right now, it is getting closer to it. Obviously we still have nearly 20 games left, so it's really not that weird, another half of the season left and they are going to play so many games that they could drop out of top 5 "mathematically speaking" but I doubt that they will get that bad. Good games do not decide on who will be at the top, good results does and Sevilla managed to get another one under their belt, 3 points is 3 points no matter how you get it.

I am happy that Barcelona and Atletico managed to win, because this victory was very important for both teams. In particular, Atletico really need
a win, to boost the morale of Atletico's players who have suffered from 4 consecutive defeats. Atletico's victory can make Atletico back in the top 4,
but Atletico must be careful because their position is not completely safe. The difference in points with several teams below is not far, so if Atletico
loses another point in the next match, will only make Atletico's position back down. So Atletico have to get back to playing consistently and
I believe Atletico can do that. For Barcelona, ​​I appreciate that by losing a lot of main players and being dominated by young players, they can win
a victory against Mallorca. I hope Barcelona can achieve a positive result again in the next game, because I also want to see Barcelona back in
the top 4 and playing in the Champions League next season, because it is Barcelona's tradition to always play in the Champions League every season.

Sevilla's next match will be against Cadiz. They are getting 5 days break before this match. They need to be properly prepared. Cadiz is a team that has beaten a strong team like Real Madrid. Now the players will be mentally confident. So Sevilla must win by playing well.

Sevilla's next match is against Getafe. They played Cadiz in their most recent match and won by a 1-goal margin. From the stats too, Getafe shouldn't be much of a problem from 2nd placed Sevilla - 18 points from 19 matches. I expect Sevilla to win comfortably. It would be interesting if we get to experience a situation where Sevilla keep up with the consistency and Madrid drops point at the end of the day.

[kawetsriyanto]

Vinicius is a key player. Real Madrid feels its absence. Real Madrid feels its absence.

Yep, he is one of the main attackers of Real Madrid. His absence makes Real Madrid attackers be a bit not as aggressive as usual. Vinicius is a typical player who has a great skill in dribbling and very well in delivering passes, he usually makes the opponent's defenders be very busy to keep him. So, Benzema or Asensio can have a chance to score. Unfortunately, there are no other attackers who have the same capacity in dribbling, so the opponent's defenders can be easier to keep Benzema or other Real Madrid attackers if there is no Vinicius in the lineup. That's why Real Madrid has difficulty in scoring in the previous match.

Both of you don't seem like La Liga lovers because you obviously missed the latest update. Sevilla successfully beat Cadiz 1-0 and with this result, they are only 5 points behind Real Madrid (with 1 game less than Real Madrid).

Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are trailing behind now unfortunately. But at least, we saw that they both won last week. Especially Atletico Madrid needed the win so bad as they lost four times in a row recently. And I liked to see them performing at a high level also. This could be a good sign for them considering the future games. And Barcelona managed to win by a 1-0 result against Mallorca maybe but they really struggled also. Mallorca could have equalized the score and got a point. They need to improve their game much more than this.

The race for the title feels incomplete without the presence of Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, but it can't be helped, so far their performance does look less promising. Hopefully, they can overcome their adversity soon so that the title race this season can be fierce again. They are indeed far behind Real Madrid but in football, anything can happen and there will always be surprises.

[kro55]

If Vinicius or Benzema are injured for a long time, then maybe Real Madrid will lose their place in the points table. Sevilla's performance is stable, they do not lose points against weaker teams.
Real Madrid's gameplay, on the other hand, suggests that they have become completely dependent on Vinicius and Benzema. With Vinicius out of the team, they have lost to weaker teams like Getafe. Real coach Carlo Ancelotti should inspire every player in the team to perform well without relying on any particular player. Otherwise, Sevilla will quickly rise to the top of the points table.

[Gasty4]

Copa Del Ray games tonight, seems there's no thread for that yet.
Barcelona will be in action tonight,Eibar goes down with Mallorca predict should be goals to be scored by both sides, Valladolid versus Real betis I can't help but hope for two goals, and Mirandes up against Rayo Vallecano playing an away game once more, this might be back to back loss to them.

Sevilla is definitely stronger than Getafe. There is no doubt about it. But Getafe's boys will be more confident now. If Getafe can somehow score the first goal of the match, it will be difficult for Sevilla to win. However, the funny thing is that the Getafe team has not scored a goal in the last 5 matches against Sevilla. Sevilla won all the matches. I would be happy if Sevilla won. This will reduce their points gap with Real Madrid.

Undeniable, this season sevilla is much stronger than getafe. Entering week 20, sevilla is still safe in 2nd place, only 5 points difference from real madrid who is at the top of the standings. The match Sevilla vs Getafe will increase the collection of sevilla points to 44, clearly sevilla will win easily in this match, because if we look at the statistics, Sevilla performance is much better than Getafe.

In this match I want to see Sevilla get 3 points, because it can heat up the race for the La Liga title this season.
But I don't agree if you say this match will be an easy win for Sevilla, because of the statistics. Yes, statistics can be used as an illustration in the match later, but it cannot guarantee victory.

[jakdanyel]

Sevilla wants to score full points. I have seldom seen a tendency for them to score more goals. Also Cadiz is probably at the bottom of the points table. Even then, I would not call this team weak. They drew the match against Real Madrid. Their goal was also to draw against Sevilla. If Cadiz had scored a goal they would have drawn the match 1-1 by any means. Civil experienced team. Even if they win only 1-0, I would say they played well.

I still don't want to understand how in the hell Cadiz managed to draw with Real Madrid in that match.    They didn't do something special actually. They just hoped for Real Madrid to miss all the chances they got. Real Madrid got nearly 40 shots in that game as far as I can remember. Cadiz got lucky then. But Sevilla didn't let it happen again. They scored and defended Cadiz really well. It was a deserved win.

Here are some Barcelona match in January especially in Laliga:

Barcelona vs Rayo Vallecano
Alaves vs Barcelona
I just hope Barcelona will win all three match if it's not postponed. Barcelona's victory would have been possible, but in the last match Barcelona still had a problem with the goalscorer.

The most important thing is that Barcelona still has a very big chance to be in the top 4 at the end of the season, not just about in January. Also, the only team that is very likely to be knocked out of the top 4 is Betis, we also saw yesterday Betis lost at home by Celta Vigo. The defeat at least gives a rating, that to maintain the top position will not be easy but a team that has a winning mentality like Barcelona is very likely to rise and defend it.

Players like Messi and Suarez left and their attack has lost a huge lot of sharpness. Maybe it will take some time for them to get back in shape and be one of the best in Europe again.

Yes it takes time, I'm just hoping for Barcelona to get back into the top four at the end of the season. It doesn't matter if Xavi takes a lot of time to make Barcelona fully recover because it won't be easy, at least with Xavi can make Barcelona compete in the top four for now and also next season I think that will be enough because I know it will take a long process to get back to his best form and it's not just about money.

They just hoped for Real Madrid to miss all the chances they got. Real Madrid got nearly 40 shots in that game as far as I can remember. Cadiz got lucky then.

I watched the match between Real Madrid and Cadiz. In fact, I would say that Cadiz has won. Because their goal was to share the points by drawing. They have met their goals. In this match, 6 people have played the role of defender of Cadiz. And everyone played great. They thwarted Real Madrid's strong attack. At the same time, it is necessary to thank the goalkeeper Ledesma, if he did not play well, the match could not have been drawn for Cadiz.

But Sevilla didn't let it happen again. They scored and defended Cadiz really well. It was a deserved win.

Cadiz was played defending with Real Madrid. Sevilla followed a similar approach. They have done very little to attack. But each attack was quite tidy. They played more defensively after scoring goals.

Every necessary step should have been taken by Xavi. Xavi will be able to make Barcelona a competitive package and could step up if necessary, reinforce center back department that is very weak in my opinion. A combination of young talent and senior players with a proper guide can help bring success where it is needed now. The best news coming from Barcelona in a long time is that Daniel Alves has now been registered. He will make his second Barcelona debut today. I can't wait to see him play. This time I'm excited to watch him.
