  like when real n barce play against each other, those results are the head-to-head results.
  so if real have a better head to head with barce, means that real won their matches with barce

  A better head to head record just means which team wins more when both teams meet in the league.
  
  For example, Real Madrid won Barcelona 2-0 at the Bernabeu and drew 3-3 at Nou Camp this season. This means that Real Madrid had a better head to head record this season.
  
  So when both teams have the same points, the team with the better head to head record would be on the top, inregardless of goal differences.

  sexychin has explained it totally.
  
  but i feel, that the correct way for a team level on points would be to play a 1 off final.

  but to add on EPL used the goal difference system rather than head to head record system when teams are level on points regardless on top or bottom
