There will be surprises for every match in La Liga and the competition between the top three teams continues. The football competition is getting more intense towards the end of the season. Times are not good for Real Madrid as they lost points after losing to Valencia. This does not suit their dynamic football. They play well against stronger teams but their effectiveness decreases against weaker teams.
In the other match, Barcelona missed the opportunity to add more points by drawing against Real betis although they are still four points ahead of Real Madrid.
Two early matches of Real Madrid and Barcelona ended with surprising results. Most surprising result is a defeat of Real Madrid by Valencia and a less surprising result is a draw of Barcelona. Real Betis is strong, and have their own ambitious target in remaining match so a draw was expected and less surprising than a shocked defeat of Real Madrid.
Barcelona actually could win that match because they created many opportunities but their attacking players like Yamal and Torres wasted some chances and the goalkeeper of Real Betis Adrian played so well with excellent saves.
If Atletico Madrid win against Sevilla today, they will have another great opportunity to reduce the gap. The fate of the match can go either way but Atletico will have a higher chance of winning as the favorites.
Atletico Madrid nearly were eliminated from La Liga title race but two bad results of Real Madrid and Barcelona give them another chance. They can claim this chance and return to title race if they can win their match today.
