In today's Barcelona derby, I bet the visitors to win. In Barcelona's game you can see coach Xavi's idea for this team. The new players also gave a positive boost to the entire club. Espanyol is in a bad shape lately, but they will certainly be mobilized for the match with the more titled neighbor. It will definitely be a very tight match, but I believe that the individual skills of FC Barcelona players will determine the victory.

They are heavy favorite for multiple reason. Espanyol concede too many goals, in their last five games they always conceded at least two goals. Considering Barcelona's attacking power we may see another match like this. Barca's defense is going better against lower rank teams, I don't think they would concede two goals from Espanyol. So when Barca score two goals that would secure win for them. Barca would win this game with their youngsters, I'll take that over 1.51 odds.

I think with new signings Barca now is better in attack. Pace of Traore in wing is something that was too much to handle for Atletico in last game and I think same will happen here. I think Torres and Traore will be score sheet tonight, both haven't opened their goals account in Barca ever since they came in. Xavi is really leading the team nicely. Not sure about this season but next season if they play like this the will be surely in title race next season.

Barcelona can also compete for gold medals this year. Sevilla, Betis are not rivals for Barcelona and the Catalans can easily get around them in the standings. Real Madrid is now in decline and losing points. The difference between the teams is large, but not critical.
