Barcelona are in good shape and are likely to get all three points against Mallorca who have lost five of their head to head meetings. I see history repeating itself, I don't think Mallorca will stand a chance against Barcelona, Xavi has improved the team so much, they have recruited new players who have made the team even stronger. It will be difficult for Mallorca's defense to hold out Barcelona's attack.

Yes, Barcelona seems too superior to Mallorca although there are some Barcelona players injured. There is no reason that Barcelona to fail in getting 3 points in the upcoming match. Even if the match will be held in Mallorca home, it won't affect much. Xavi should be ready to prepare Barcelona players to play with their best. And Xavi must target to get full points to overtake Real Madrid in the 1st place.

Regarding the current stats of both teams, Barcelona seems also better than Mallorca. Current Mallorca stats look quite weak, especially when they are against big teams. So, I am sure Barcelona will win against Mallorca.

Im sure about that. This can be considered as a free points for barcelona. i will not underestimate mallorca in any case but statistic said about the truth when mallorca against barcelona. This may make barcelona would able to compete with real madrid. El classico will become the main match to know which team from barcelona and real that would become a winner. I can't wait for el classico to come very soon. It seems like that both real and barcelona will get full points and the positions will remain the same. There will be no change

Well I am not going to deny that Barcelona has many options to win not only with Mallorca but with all the teams that are coming, with the exception of Real Madird and maybe Atlético de Madrid, of course all this under the scheme that Barcelona has a lot of material to do it, but be careful, I saw some teams out there that can wage war, and Barcelona cannot afford to lose games like that because they have invested a lot and have gotten a lot of debt, and what Xavi sees is winning or win, there is nothing else that cannot give another chance, these are the things that Barcelona can never let go, and I am not exaggerating, the situation of Barcelona is very delicate.

it becomes very difficult to predict who will win the El Clasico. Looks like a draw is likely to happen, and if that's the case, I think the draw results
are quite satisfactory for both teams.

I can't hope that because I put Madrid to win on the table. Madrid is more favored because have an opportunity as host. Besides that, Madrid is still defending champion where don't want to give the winning as such. What make me worry is defender and not effective attacker on front, the previous match vs Shakhtar as correction to Ancelotti to make better and focus on coordination, This gap will be exploited if not covered asap.

Well for me I also put Real Madrid to win, the complications that they could have had before may have occurred due to the high pressure they have had, it is normal, going well in the UCL and also in the League are challenges that any error can save you from first place and very easy, which can be very difficult at times to get back to the top, however I have seen Barcelona have many problems when playing, in the friendly classic, I did not see everything the potential for Madrid, I think that Real Madrid still has a lot to show and for me they have something in store, a very well-stored strategy, this game will be very good.

For the most fans and rivals between the teams, this information is usually interesting:

It's difficult at the moment for Barcelona because Inter's chances are obviously very big now seeing that Barcelona are still 3 points behind and Inter will face a team that can be said to be the weakest in the group, namely Plzen clearly have a chance to widen the points open to Inter because in any case Plzen is now like only as a complement in this group and Inter can clearly win and destroy the hopes of Xavi and Barcelona to qualify for the next phase.

I see Barcelona are at the top of the table with five wins in a row so what are they struggling with? they are now easy to always get a win in every game, Xavi only needs to prepare their team to face Real Madrid on 16 october this because this is an opponent that is not easy for Barcelona.

Xavi got so many pressures. It needs to prepare its club to fight against bayern but it will have some hard games for the upcoming match after el classico against villareal and bayern. In this case i just wanna say that if xavi needs more than only a usual preparation. Tiki taka is not working anymore.
Ball possession means nothing if your team was loosing in the match. There must be a new strategy by xavi. I see that from last games if performance from barcelona didn't look so good.
glad barcelona has lewandowski that was always helping the team. It was always loosing against a team that was using counter attack strategy. Xavi needs a new rotation that makes play style is a bit different. ball possession is good but since if you were not able to win the match and it's not good.

It is that we cannot forget that the one who introduced the tiki taka in Barcelona was Pep Guardiola, he is the one who knows very well how they should do it, despite the fact that Xavi was there and participated in that technique, it is not the same, I think that It would take a Ronaldinho and an Iniesta, and the truth is that I don't see any player with those characteristics, however I think that Barcelona has a lot of pressure and this is not so good for the team, because Xavi knows that he cannot afford to lose I think that if they get to draw it is as if it were a victory, however I think that Barcelona has to leave everything on the field, that each player sweats his shirt well, because Real Madrid does not play with carts and I think that Real Madrid He will come out with his entire arsenal.

El Clasico Primer: How Real Madrid can defend and attack Barcelona

Quote

Real Madrid’s quick thinking and execution will need to be on its A game. They can beat Xavi’s man-to-man press with quick vertical passes to Karim Benzema who can play as a hold-up striker that lays it off to other attackers making third-man runs. Ball progression is of utmost importance, and for that reason, Ancelotti may be better off with Antonio Rudiger over Eder Militao. The former is better on the ball under pressure. Alternatively, pairing Rudiger and Militao together would give you the best combination of collective aerial presence against Barca, which would help fend off Barcelona’s crosses. (Xavi-ball of late has been cross-heavy.)
