Barcelona are in the process of restructuring and looking for new leaders. After the dismissal of Ronald Koeman, no one expected quick changes, but the results appear, which cannot but rejoice. In the Champions League, Xavi’s players lost in the last round to Bayern (0:3) and went to conquer the expanses of the Europa League, where they had already forgotten about the Catalan team. By the way, on February 17th the Spaniards will play at home against Napoli in the first playoff game. In total, at the group stage the blue garnet twice celebrated their success and drew with Benfica (0:0). In the Spanish Championship, Barca recorded six victories and peaceful outcomes in 16 rounds, which brought them 24 points and the eighth line. The gap from the first “Real” is already 18 points, which will be almost impossible to reduce. After two successful duels with Espanyol (1:0) and Villarreal (3:1), today’s hosts lost to Betis (0:1) and on December 12th they shared the tournament points with Osasuna (2:2). Roberto, Pedri, Fati, Braithuite, Vahe and Depay, who has a thigh injury, will not be able to enter the field today.
Juventus failed the first round of the championship. The team of Massimiliano Allegri is currently ranked seventh in the table. The old lady is already eight points behind the Champions League zone and has as rivals Roma and Fiorentina. It will be very difficult to break into the top four. In the last round Juventus lost points in the match with Venice (1:1), interrupting a series of two victories in a row. More todays football predictions can be obtained from the link provided.
