MATCH DETAILS:
The Royal Club” in this season has not yet been able to seriously interfere in the struggle for the “golden” times of the national championship. In the last match of La Liga “Real” played quite successfully at the “Santiago Bernabéu” against “Sevilla”, defeating the “Nerviots” with a 5: 0. After that, Madrid went to the club world championship. In the current example, Zinedine Zidane’s team lost points at home only at the start of the tournament, ending a draw with Valencia 2-2 and Levante 1-1, then unexpectedly lost to Betis 0-1. Conclusions have been made, and now in five home meetings, “Real” quite confidently defeats rivals. Over this period were defeated “Espanyol” 2-0, 3: 0 “Eibar” and “Las Palmas”, “Malaga” 3-2 and Sevilla 5-0. Note that during this period, “creamy” missed only one match, and they scored no less than two goals.
“Barcelona” in this season confidently leads the championship. Catalans are six points ahead of Madrid “Atletico”, eight – “Valencia”, and the future rival “Real” – by eleven, but the “cream” has a match in hand. The last defeat of the team Ernesto Valverde suffered in mid-August in matches for the Super Bowl just against the Madrid “Real”. And lost the Catalans “creamy” in both meetings for the trophy – 1: 3 at home and 0: 2. The defeats seem to have had a sobering effect, as in the example of the “blue-garnet” have not lost a single match, only three times in a draw – with Madrid “Atletico” 1: 1, “Valencia” 2: 2 and “Celta” 0: 0 . And the first two meetings with the main competitors took place on the road. The leader continued to win and in the last round, arranging at the “Camp Nou” defeat “Deportivo” – 4: 0.
