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.
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.are quite satisfactory for both teams.
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.

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.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.)
