Los Blancos have lost five points in the last week, so Barcelona are now leading the table, one point ahead of Real Madrid, who still have one pending game at Balaídos against Celta de Vigo. Despite these poor results, Zidane’s side is still the favourite one to win La Liga trophy according to the bookmakers.
Three teams are now in the title race: Real Madrid, Barcelona and Sevilla. The Andalusian team has to play on Wednesday evening against Athletic Club but, if they win, Sampaoli’s side would be only two points behind FC Barcelona. We still have to see the fixture between these three teams but Los Blancos have the advantage of the game pending at Balaídos, plus they have to receive all the big teams at Santiago Bernabéu, including Barcelona, Sevilla, Atlético de Madrid or Valencia.
Perhaps for these facts, Real Madrid are still favourites in the title race. You can have a look at the odds at bet365 and back Los Blancos to win La Liga with 10/11 odds. Barcelona are second with 11/10 odds and Sevilla are still far away with 20/1. Atlético de Madrid have no possibilities of lifting the title with 150/1 odds.

Zinedine Zidane said in the press conference that the team should stay calm, because there is a long way left in La Liga title race. 10 days ago, Real Madrid seemed to have won La Liga, especially when Barcelona were about to draw against Leganés. However, the Blaugranas have won five straight games in La Liga, so they’ve been able to overcome Real Madrid in the table.
However, the calendar shows that the title race will be decided in April and March, where Barcelona or Sevilla visit Bernabéu stadium. Los Blancos need to bounce back and they have a great opportunity at Ipurúa, a tough stadium.
Madrid need to keep this type of form alive,.up madridsta
