Real Madrid v Alcorcon Spanish Copa del Rey Match Preview

The clash may look like a David and Goliath affair in favor of Los Blancos.

But the truth reveals that Real Madrid will have to overcome a mammoth battle during ninety minutes of football as the Spanish giants need to overturn a 4-0 deficit suffered in the first leg away to Alcorcon.

Match analysis and explanations

It’s hard to believe that even a 5-1 victory at home to Alcorcon will oust Real Madrid from the Spanish Copa del Rey on Tuesday evening.

Yet, this is the reality and only a ‘miracle’ will power Los Blancos through to the next stage of the tournament.

On paper, Real Madrid certainly have what it takes to sink Alcorcon by a great margin and ultimately make into the fourth round of the tournament that was won by FC Barcelona last season.

FC Barcelona vs Mallorca – La Liga Match Preview

Not the time to relax

The league leaders’ crushing 6-1 victory against Real Zaragoza at the Camp Nou made many fans believe that the Catalans were back on track for good, as they had previously failed to get a win in two consecutive games.

Well, after such a brilliant result, it didn’t really look like things were at their very best for the Blaugrana, following a disappointing draw to Osasuna trough a late Gerard Pique own goal.

Barcelona still have more time ahead of them to strengthen their foundation, but it is clear that this weekend’s game at home to Real Mallorca will be a glorious chance for them to prove themselves again in front of their own fans.

Rubin Kazan vs FC Barcelona – UEFA Champions League Match Preview

Barca brilliantly bounced back from a weak form that saw them go two games without a win in the league and the Champions League, but another challenge is still awaiting them away from home.

The First Leg

One could expect this game to be dominated by the Catalans, bearing in mind that Barcelona have successfully regained their shape; yet, it is the first leg’s story which seems to make the excitement ahead of this game huge.

Barcelona were stunned by 2 goals to 1 in their own stadium several days ago by the Russian side Rubin Kazan, and unquestionably, it was a match the home side could clearly have turned into their favor. Nevertheless, mistakes in the defense, as well as lack of precision in front of goal cost them an upset, as they went on to miss another 3 precious points, which could have extended their lead at the top of table with 7 good points.

Osasuna vs Barcelona – La Liga Match Preview

The Same Old Story?

Usually, when FC Barcelona prepare to meet a side in the Spanish League, soccer fans tend to place the Blaugrana as the favorites to win the game. This is certainly because of their ability to humble great and small sides alike, but then, there is no doubt that expectations don’t always get realized.

Surely, the Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola is aware of this fact; and as a result, making additional efforts is always his number one solution.

So far in La Liga this season, the reigning title holders have scored 8 goals and conceded only one away from home. This is definitely the evidence of their strength in attack, and remembering the amazing show they gave their fans at the Camp Nou last week when they hosted Racing Santander, one might conclude that this weekend’s match at the Estadio Reyno de Navarra between Barcelona and Osasuna will end up commonly, with Barcelona stealing the spotlight.
