For the upcoming games of Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid I can say that I'm confident about the first and last one to win. However I'm not confident about Barcelona as much as them in their next game. Because it is an away game against Vallecano. Barcelona lost to them 3 times and got a draw in their last 4 head-to-head games in the La Liga.
Vallecano are holding a psychological advantage in hand because of that. In addition to that Real Madrid couldn't do better than drawing with Vallecano not long ago as well. Combining all of this it seems a little risky to bet on Barcelona here.

Barcelona have lost Gavi, possibly until the end of the season, and Real have lost Vinnie and Camavinga (presumably before the new year) so this will make further changes to the teams' chances. In general, it seems to me that after a break on international games it is better either not to bet at all or to bet on the underdogs. International games are always played against top clubs.
I think this will be a good chance for a team like Girona to capitalize on this opportunity and extend their lead at the top of the league because I think the injury to these players will make their respective clubs to drop form
But Barcelona seems to be less well equipped to have someone else play for Gavi. But when a rising talent suffers from a severe injury, it sucks on so many fronts. There are players who never fully recover from an ACL injury. This is really bad news for him personally in the first place. The national team and the dreams he had to play a great Euro 2024. It's different when someone like Courtois misses a whole season because he has had so many experiences already, but this hurts.
