The championship race continues in the Spanish La Liga between Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Idman.Biz reports that within the framework of the XIV round, both favorites will face outsiders and theoretically claim to win three points.
"Barcelona" – "Alaves"
"Barcelona" is in second place with 31 points and is only one point behind "Real". "Alaves" is in 14th place with 15 points.
The tobacco intrigue is clear: Hansi Flick's team has a chance for a quick rehabilitation after losing 0:3 to Chelsea in the Champions League. The head coach emphasizes that the most important goal now is to defeat Alaves. The Catalan club also has positive news regarding the squad: Pedri is ready to return to the field, and Rafinha has fully recovered. However, Ronald Araujo will miss the game due to a gastrointestinal virus, and several players are not yet in full shape.
"Girona" – "Real" (Madrid)
Madrid's Real is heading to Catalonia as the leader - 32 points. "Girona" is in the relegation zone of the league with 11 points and is in 18th place.
This match is also of great psychological importance for Xabi Alonso's team: although the Madrid team lost points in the championship, they managed to break their unsuccessful streak in the Champions League. The head coach notes the importance of improving the defense game and increasing team integrity. Several defenders are expected to return to Real's squad, but Dani Carvajal and David Alaba are still out. According to the Spanish press, Tibo Courtois has already fully recovered.
