It is rather strange that the quotes of Real Madrid and Barcelona, despite the fact that Real Madrid approached Barcelona by one point in one round, practically did not change:

Barcelona 1.10

Real Madrid 6.50

Considering that there is a personal meeting ahead and the distance can be reduced by another three points, 1.10 for the Barcelona championship looks like too unfavorable odds.

I think it's reasonable in this period of the season. There are many factors to consider when analyzing this odds, one of them is that Barcelona got kicked out of European competitions, hence they will focus on La Liga more than Real Madrid. In addition, the remaining match for Barcelona could be easier than the matches of Real Madrid, as well as a seven points advantage can't be easily lost. However, these odds will change with every unexpected result for both Real Madrid and Barcelona.

It is clear that the bookmakers know their business and are most likely right, but still I would not bet on Barcelona (because 1.1 is a ridiculous risk compensation).
There are still 15 games ahead, in a personal meeting, if Real Madrid wins, then the distance is reduced to 4 points. Taking into account the fact that on average in the remaining games the teams "should" lose about 12 points, the advantage of 4 points is very serious but not decisive. If Real don't win the head-to-head, then of course it's all over.

Getafe team is in a tough spot in the relegation zone and they will face villareal who are having a bad time recently with four consecutive losses, getafe team are actually in a momentum since they gathered five points in the last three games with valencia win this round they have no choice but to gather points today which will make the game exciting.

[Moeda]

I haven't forgotten Dembele, it's just that I don't need to mention his name because I knew he was injured in late January. So I'll just add Pedri who has just been sidelined due to injury. For Raphina, I really don't know if she was injured due to trivial things like the information you provided.

Anyway, now there is news that it is Lewandowski's turn to suffer a hamstring injury during last night's match with Almeria. I think this is not a good thing especially in a few days there will be an El Clasico match in the Copa Del Rey Semifinals and this will definitely make Xavi confused about the formations for his players.

Previously, Barcelona also lost in the Europa league, and the next match in LaLiga also suffered a defeat against Almeria. Maybe this will continue for the next game. On March 3 Barcelona must face Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey. If Robert Lewandowski really does not recover from injury, it will be a bad start for Barcelona. But Real Madrid takes care of their players' condition to avoid injury, because they also have a prestigious match to fight for even though they have pocketed half of the tickets to the next round. That is, Barcelona still has a chance to win the game. But Real Madrid will not play casually when facing their rivals either. El Clasico is also part of a prestigious match. However, it became difficult for Barcelona when two other strikers were also injured, namely Ousmane Dembele and Ansu Fati. Who can replace Robert Lewandowski?

[aylabadia05]

To be honest, Lewandowski's injury will greatly benefit the opposing team. Barcelona have lost 3 forwards so far with Dembele, Ansu Fati and Lewandowski out. I don't know for how long, and this is a big problem for the Blaugrana.

I hope this won't hurt the team's performance in the many matches to come, but losing lot of important players is complicated matter. Besides, I don't know when Pedri will return, and Lewandowski's injury is just a disaster for Barcelona.

Lewandowski injury confirmed: Lewandowski medical announcement

All of them who are now injured are important players who have contributed greatly to Barcelona so far. The loss of Ansu Fati and Dembele can still be covered by Lewandowski in my opinion, but losing Lewandowski to a hamstring injury makes Xavi have to rack his brains to find a solution up front. Now from the Barcelona squad list for players positioned on the front lines only Ferran Torres and Raphinha are fit.

This situation could clearly be an obstacle for the Blaugrana who must travel to the Santiago Bernabeu to play a semi-final match even though it is only the Copa Del Rey competition on 3 March.

Barca lost to Almera shouldn't be a set back for the team to win Laliga,since they are seven points ahead of their rival. I don't think the team will experience another defeat in their next three matches. Barca hasn't still recovered from the shock which Man united gave to them and that was why it affected their match with Almera. I don't think Real Madrid will be be able to win Laliga,I think the club wants to o focus more on UCL matches since it is more valuable than Laliga. Surprises are possible, in the sense that if Barca fail to be consistent in their matches, Real Madrid might snatch the league from them.

With the current situation and performance most chances Barcelona will have no problem for winning La Liga in this season as right now after end of 23 rounds they are clearly leading by seven points, and now they are having just La Liga title as their target after shocking exit from UEFA Europa Cup and Real Madrid which is also struggling with their performance have also good chance again in UEFA Champions League after their amazing performance against Liverpool in 1st leg match round of 16 even things are not easy for them.

But, they are also doing good and have good performance in all competition, but their last few matches give them setback in their title hopes and Barcelona which are having focus on La Liga title from day one are on their target and this lost is just wake-up call for them with this now they can fight back in coming matches as well.

Bilbao lost 3-2 at home to Girona. Girona were more fortunate in the first half of the match. Bilbao players scored 2 own goals. As a result, Girona had the opportunity to close the first half 3-1 ahead. The second half was completely under Bilbao's control but they struggled to find goals. They couldn't find accuracy in their shots and had to be defeated. With this defeat they missed the opportunity to take 6th place.

2 own goals created by Atletico Bilbao players really helped Girona so that they could bring 3 points home in their away game. In the second half, Atletico Bilbao actually tried to catch up to equalize, but Girona was able to anticipate this, making it difficult for Bilbao to score goals. Even though they were able to score 1 goal in the 89th minute, it was not enough to draw the score.

Once Athletic Bilbao was the strong contender for the top four and now suffering badly in last few matches which is bringing them down badly, and now their confidence level is also badly going down which can create problems for them in coming matches as well with now they are going to face Osasuna in Copa del Roy semifinal in few days which is surely going to be not easy for them with this performance now they have no good chance for having any European spot for the next season which was clearly in their target in early rounds of this season, but now they are badly down and out.

Girona is surely having good improvement in their performance with they have three wins from their last four matches, and now they are having next meeting against Getafe which is also not easy team to play at home but with this performance we can expect good interesting match from these teams.

It sounds quite strange, because you get the feeling that Barcelona is incredibly dependent on Lewandowski. They can play without him, the result won't change. He was on the field today and what changed? They still couldn't score, what's the problem then? I think they were not built for this game at all, that's all.

The most difficult matches that Barcelona or Real Madrid play are the matches against the teams that fight to stay in La Liga next season. Almeria is one of them. It was very unfortunate for Barcelona to receive an early goal, as well as wasting a lot of scoring opportunities in both halves. Today's goal was the first goal Barcelona received in the last four rounds. Nonetheless, this result will restore the competition between Real Madrid and Barcelona, and keep the enthusiasm up until the next La Liga Clasico.

Basically you are right, but I think the intrigue is not so strong, the gap between them is 7 points. Barcelona looks very good this season, after the elimination from the Europa League they will do everything to take the title of Spanish champion, because it will be their only title. But I agree, a lot still depends on El Classico, it's soon, so the intrigue can be solved in three weeks

[hahay]

Getafe team is in a tough spot in the relegation zone and they will face villareal who are having a bad time recently with four consecutive losses, getafe team are actually in a momentum since they gathered five points in the last three games with valencia win this round they have no choice but to gather points today which will make the game exciting.

Even though Getafe is in the relegation zone, but Getafe still has a big chance of getting out of the relegation zone, because Getafe's point gap is also not that far from the team in 14th place. So, with such a close gap, of course Getafe still has the ability to be able to play well and put up a tough game for home team Villarreal.

Also, their first match of the season also ended in a 0-0 draw but unfortunately, Villarreal's winning record is really good when playing against Getafe. But yes, because at this moment Villarreal also looks like they have a problem due to consecutive defeats, so it looks like Getafe is still likely to get points in this match.

[Pulsar77]

Sevilla had a defensively bad match against Osasuna and their opponent benefited from their weaknesses really nicely. There were serious openings in Sevilla defense line in the match. They were at least good at scoring goals but even this couldn't save them from losing by 3-2. Gudelj's goal was the most impressive one to me by the way. His shot went like a rocket and the goalkeeper couldn't even move. Osasuna's second goal was pretty weird. It was Bono's mistake as he missed the ball.

Even En Nesyri's decent goal couldn't save them one point. Sevilla are going back to their bad version in the La Liga once again now. They need to be careful not to relegate from the league.

I haven't forgotten Dembele, it's just that I don't need to mention his name because I knew he was injured in late January. So I'll just add Pedri who has just been sidelined due to injury. For Raphina, I really don't know if she was injured due to trivial things like the information you provided.

Barcelona lost against Almeria which is in the 15th position even after the win against Barcelona. And of course, this is not an ideal situation for Barcelona. Because you know, they are going to face Real Madrid in the next match. It is not going to be a La Liga match. It is going to be the first leg of Copa Del Ray. The main point is there are going to play against Real Madrid. which is the biggest opponent for Barcelona.

It is also sad to see Barcelona facing so many injury. And personally do not think Robert Lewandowski is being able to give Barcelona the service that person on actually wanted from him when they brought him in for €50 million. Things are not looking good for Barcelona. The most positive thing that Barcelona can think of right now is that they still have 7 points advantage in La Liga and they are at the top of the table.

We have also seen the difference between Barcelona's starting 11 and their rotation. Unfortunately, Kessie, Sergi Roberto, Eric Garcia are not players at the current Alba Barcelona level. Eric Garcia makes mistakes in every game I see, both in CL and in the league. Alba pattern makes the back side a highway to the opponent. Barça lost 3 points in a game where they could break the league because of Xavi's rotation sickness. Pedri's absence was felt deeply, especially in the breaking moments of the match. Barça still has a big advantage for the championship. If it is not lost to Real Madrid in the home field, a troublesome process will not be entered.

[fullhdpixel]

Villarreal will attempts to bounce back from this match after 4 consecutive loses and indeed if we see from squad quality Villarreal is better than Getafe but Getafe recent performance were better than Villarreal and i can see big progress from them that in the last 3 matches Getafe were gets 1 wins from Valencia and draw from Atletico so this is quite better if we compared to Villarreal

From team conditions Getafe didn't have any problem because so far no players who got injured or suspension but the opposite conditions from Villarreal that i saw at least 4 players who cannot play and mostly dominated by midfielders and regarding match results after seeing the recent conditions for both of teams i think possibly the match ended with draw because in my opinion Getafe will attempts not lose especially for away matches and this options has odds @3.70

I agreed with you about this match currently Villarreal is having tag of worst team in last few matches with just one win in their last five games, and they are facing downhill task with Getafe is surely right now having improvement and their draw against Atlético Madrid is big surprise and moral booster for them with most chances this match is going to be challenging for the both teams with Villarreal try their best for end of their four matches losing streak and visitors will also try their best for having positive result from their current form even Villarreal is strong and having enough quality for performing good but things looking not easy, and we can expect draw or close win for the home team because they are also now looking for change of fortune and better results before its having worst end for them in this season.

Barcelona is no doubt good towards the end of this season and I knew and concluded that Barcelona cannot be overtaken by Real Madrid.  But as Barcelona failed to win Almeria I was forced to have a second thought about it, but there is no much time for wonders.
The Champions of laliga is almost obvious and decided.

[harapan]

There are some reports saying Lewandoski is has a discomfort and would miss the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi finals match against Madrid. If these reports are true then that would be a very big blow for Barcelona because they are already without Pedri and Dembele. Although Lewandoski has not been at his very best in recent week for Barcelona, he's a very big influence in their attack. He links up well with his teammates and provides spaces for his teammates to run into. Barcelona fans will hope the reports are false because they will be in trouble without their top scorer.

[Ahli38]

Celta vigo took the 3 points with 3 goals. It must be said that celta vigo, who got 3 points with a dominant football at home, made a good move to get rid of the bottom. Before the match both teams had equal points and now celta vigo is in a better position.
I was surprised that Barcelona lost. It felt strange to lose away to a team like Almeria. But we can say that it was for the better, at least the points difference with real madrid didn't widen.

Celta vigo has been slowly showing good performance improvements lately. even Celta vigo has given a few surprises in their last matches. such as holding Real Sociedad to a draw, beating Real Betis and also beating Athletic Club. so it's no wonder Celta vigo was able to beat Valladolid with a lot of scores.

Barcelona's defeat of Almeria has indeed been a surprise this week. Almeria's defense should be appreciated in this regard. because he was able to withstand the pace of attacks from Barcelona who kept trying to penetrate Almeria's defense. even very surprising to see Barcelona who only had one shot on target.

[Masplanc]

The results obtained by Barcelona were very surprising, they lost to Almeria who were in the relegation zone. I can't think that this result will come to them, because clearly on paper Barcelona is the team that should be able to win this match. They could not take advantage of the opportunity to widen the points that came to them, because in the previous game Real Madrid could only draw with Atletico Madrid. Very very unfortunate.

The performance of Barcelona I am kind of being worried  if they can really win the league this season,  it as if Barcelona is struggling to perform well in their games. If Barcelona fails to remain consistent it will be a total waste of effort of xavi works and will count to nothing.

I didn't see that on the news so far about Lerandoski but this can be a piece of very bad news for Barcelona because they are currently playing without Perdi and Dembelle as you already said and that's why they could perform well enough against Manchester United and they lost the game while if that's true and Lewndonski misses some matches they will have serious problems in their team not sure how Xavi is going to solve this.

[Velvet78]

Villarreal made a really bad start to the game maybe but they have made a comeback later on thankfully.

They are still leading by 2-1 but it is still a quite risky score though. Villarreal really need this win after a losing streak for four weeks in the league. Something has been going terrible for them and it is hard to discover the reason. This bad form has affected them really badly in the standings as well. They need to fix their issues at once if they want to qualify for a tournament. Winning this game would be a big help. They are the better playing side so they shouldn't give this away to Getafe.

The news about Lewandowski already in a lot site, I saw it on the official Barcelona website, it doesn't say what date Lewandowski will be available again. Of course, The injured Lewandowski and Dembele will cost Barcelona a goal machine there to at least score against Real Madrid, but Barcelona still have enough defenders for match Copa del Rey so it's Real Madrid will still be difficult to win.
