Barca begin to rise little by little. They no longer have so many injured in the attack, and we saw that Suarez is back in shape. Messi can always be expected to score. Eibar are also in better condition lately, but they are not at all stable at the back. In almost all games they have shown weaknesses in defense, and they always face serious problems against Barca. Only in the last game did they make it 2-2, having previously lost 9 straight losses to the Catalans. In addition, with these losses, there were almost always 3-4 goals for Barca, and currently Barcelona have 4 consecutive wins with at least 2 goals scored.

Gladbach are 1st but have had relatively easy matches. In fact they had problems against stronger teams and took a total of 1 point from Schalke and Leipzig. Borussia Dortmund have done pretty poorly lately, considering that they are fighting for the title. However, they are close to 1st place and if they win today they will shorten the gap by 3 points. The guests have not important players because of injuries, but more importantly, Dortmund very rarely lose points at home in the Bundesliga, and are in a series of 8 consecutive wins against Gladbach.
