Primera Division as always on Saturday night and Alaves-Barcelona the game I will start.
Alaves achieved an important double with 0-2 at the headquarters of Valladolid, took out the person who has to bring out a team of its dynamics in these games and taking advantage of the expulsion of an opponent in 20 '(with a penalty that was lost) reached the second three points for this year. 2-1-3 now her record, in her three defeats she conceded two goals or more, on the contrary in the three positive results she relied on her defense that kept a clean touch. It is understood based on this statistic but mainly with the image that with its quality to have a ceiling, the defense will determine whether or not it achieves the goal of staying.
The humble Clark Kent who does not speak and does not bother turned into Superman, this is how the transformation of Barcelona can be explained, which three days after the fair defeat with a bad appearance against Real in the classic, easily passed with 0-2 from Torino prevailing incomplete Juventus. And indeed the Italians were absent, but the overall picture of the Catalans was much better compared to the recent past. The reason, at least one of them, is the resignation of Bartomeu and his administration, a development that certainly delighted not only Lionel Messi but also many of his teammates. He is behind early in the standings with three losses in 5 matches, the victories in the Champions League (where he hosts Dynamo Kiev in the middle of the week) show that there is light on the horizon. The reborn Coutinho is absent again.
Barcelona has no room for a new loss, now the players know that in case of failure they will probably be the first to be accused. Against Juventus, they showed elements that were rather forgotten, speed in the traffic, will and good collaborations in the attack, problem or inhibitory inadequacy. Alaves of course is not the team that can easily expose this weakness, so I end up in 2 & over 1,5 to the satisfactory 1,70 of Bet365.
