Great start to the season for Madrid, however they have faced 3 easy league games and dropped 2 points (Away to Gijon might not be easy but its a game they would be expected to win). Barca meanwhile have maximum points having played Bilbao and Atletico away from home. We also beat Malaga which was a game we drew 0-0 last season.
So net round should be 3 points for both teams.
The Madrid play our last 3 fixtures in the very same order - Bilbao away, Malaga home, Atletico away. Until they play those 3 fixtures we really don't know what sort of team Benitez is putting together. I wouldn't be surprised if they drop 3-4 points during that period, mind you we have Celta and Sevilla away which will put us to the test once again, but we will be very confident having already put away to extremely tough away games.
