Real Madrid, league leader, hosts Alavés on Saturday (18th) on matchday 25 of the Spanish championship, looking for a reaction after his stumbles on the last league matchday and in the Champions League, while Barcelona visits Valencia.
The white team could only draw 0-0 with Villarreal last Saturday in the League, before losing 1-0 against PSG on Tuesday in the Champions League, with which they have only won one of their last five official games.
The match against Alavés, in the position that marks relegation to the Second Division, is emerging as the opportunity to regain momentum lost in recent days, after a good start to the year.
league leaders, the whites have four points to Sevilla (2nd), that on Sunday visits Espanyol (13th), although it still maintains a comfortable lead of eleven points over Betis, third classified.
The meeting will allow Karim Benzema keep picking up the pace of competition after his return from injury on Tuesday against PSG, where he was barely able to intervene in the game.
Barcelona (4th) visits Valencia (12th), looking to rediscover the victory in the League, after the stumble against Espanyol (2-2) last weekend, which cut his streak of two consecutive victories.
– ‘On the right track’ –
“We are improving in game and sensations. We are on the right track”, said coach Xavi Hernández on Wednesday, who trusts in the league championship to show the progression of the Barça team, who on Sunday will not be able to count on Gerard Piqué due to suspension.
A victory would allow Barça to stay in the Champions zone ahead of Atlético (5th), who on Wednesday fell 1-0 to bottom side Levante in a late game on matchday 21, deepening the crisis that Simeone’s team is going through.
“We missed a great opportunity. We have to look to ourselves, the coaching staff and the team to pull this off,” said the Atletico coach.
The rojiblancos will look for a balsamic victory against Osasuna on Saturday, to boost their morale before hosting Manchester United on Wednesday in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16.
Betis, third classified, will host Mallorca with his sights set on approaching Sevilla and Real Madrid.
