vs 
Girona vs Espanyol
Girona is in a big crisis. After playing six matches, they have only 2 points and are at the bottom of the table with a goal difference of 3:16. Last round, they drew 1–1 against Ath Bilbao away, earning a valuable point against a favorite.
They are still winless, with 4 losses and 2 draws. Their defense is clearly the weakest in the league, and the attack isn’t able to make up for it, having conceded 16 goals while only scoring three.
On the other hand, Espanyol has had a great solid start to the season. After the 2–2 draw against Valencia, they reached 11 points and are currently in a high 4th place. They have a goal difference of 10:9, showing that they play attacking football with effective matches.
Milla is the focus of the attack with three goals, while Puado has two goals and is among the top scorers. Manolo Gonzalez can be pleased with the team’s form, but his main goal is to secure a spot in European competitions this season.
Espanyol is in much better shape and is the favorite, boasting a great attack, and we expect them to exploit the weaknesses in the home team’s defense.

Getafe vs Levante
Getafe is in a changing form with three wins, one draw, and two losses. In their last match, they drew 1–1 with Alaves, and after six games, they have 10 points, placing them in 6th position. Their goal difference is 7:8, indicating that their matches are tight and competitive.
The attack relies on Adrian Liso, who has scored three goals so far, and alongside him is Mayoral with one goal. They have tied two matches without a win, and Bordalas will try to secure a victory at home.
Levante struggled to earn a point against Real Madrid at home and were completely outplayed, losing 1–4. They remain in the lower part of the table with only 4 points, despite having a decent attacking line with 10 goals scored, but their defense has certain weaknesses, having conceded 13 goals so far. Romero and Eyong Etta each have three goals. Julian Calero needs to find a solution to strengthen the defense.
Getafe appears more organized on the field, and with the support of their home crowd, we expect them to secure three points in this match.

Atl. Madrid vs Real Madrid
Atl. Madrid played an exciting match against Rayo Vallecano and won 3–2. With this victory, they reached 9 points and are in 8th place, and Diego Simeone is definitely not happy with how the team started this season. Julian Alvarez is the top scorer for the team, having scored 4 out of a total of 9 goals so far. However, they have conceded 7 goals in 6 matches, which is concerning.
Next week, they will host Eintracht Frankfurt in the group stage of the Champions League, and in the first round, they lost to Liverpool 3:2 away.
Real Madrid seems unbeatable in the current season. The team is leading with 18 points from 6 matches, scoring 14 goals and only conceding 3. In the last round, they defeated Levante 4–1. Mbappe is the league’s top scorer with 7 goals, while Vinicius has added 3. Their defense is the best in La Liga, which further increases the quality gap. Xabi Alonso can be pleased with the team, especially the defensive line.
Next week, they will face an easier opponent in the group stage of the Champions League, visiting Kairat Almaty, and in the first round, they beat the French team Marseille 2:1 at home.
Real Madrid is the favorite, but Atl. Madrid has always been a tough opponent. Since Atl. Madrid has the home advantage, they will fight for three points, but what we can expect is at least one goal from both teams.

vs 
Mallorca vs Alaves
Mallorca continues to face disappointing results. Last weekend, they lost to Real Sociedad 1–0 while playing away, leaving them in the relegation zone with only 2 points. They are struggling to score, having netted just five goals while conceding 11. After six matches, they are still without a win, with four losses and two draws.
Jagoba Arrasate needs to find a solution so the team doesn’t have to fight for survival in the league this season. The attack relies on Vedat Muriqi, who has scored 4 of the 5 goals this season.
Alaves is in inconsistent form but seems much more confident compared to their opponent today. In the last round, they drew 1–1 with Getafe away and now have 8 points, sitting in 10th place. They have scored six goals and conceded the same number. They neither concede many nor score a lot, but they know how to earn points. Eduardo Coudet relies on Carlos Vicente and Toni Martinez in attack, and the midfield looks stable.
Alaves is in slightly better form, but the home team is still looking for their first win of the season. We expect to see a balanced and tough match with not many goals.

vs
Villarreal vs Ath Bilbao
Villarreal recently defeated Sevilla with a score of 1:2 while playing away. They are currently in 3rd place with 13 points, just three points behind Barcelona. Their offense is strong, having scored 12 goals, with Buchanan and Pepe being the top scorers. However, they have also conceded 7 goals, indicating some instability in defense, and the team is facing issues with injured players.
In the first round of the Champions League group stage, they lost 1:0 against Tottenham while playing away, and in the next round, they will host Juventus in this competition.
Ath Bilbao drew with Girona 1–1 and they don’t seem as confident as they did last season. They have 10 points and are in 3rd place, but they haven’t won in the league for three matches now. So far this season, they have scored 7 goals and conceded the same number.
Valverde’s team is tough and a challenging opponent for everyone, and Inaki Williams is a constant threat in attack, but without the injured Nico Williams, their scoring has weakened. Next week, they have a tough match in the Champions League group stage where they will visit Dortmund, and in the first round, they were outplayed by Arsenal at home.
Both teams are part of the most elite European competition, and their home league is always important to them. We expect a dynamic match where we will see at least one goal from each side.

Rayo Vallecano vs Sevilla
Rayo Vallecano played bravely but lost 3–2 to Atl. Madrid, even though they were ahead by one goal in the 77th minute. They are currently in 14th place with five points earned so far. The team has scored 7 goals but has also conceded 9. Garcia and de Frutos have both scored 2 goals each.
Inigo Perez’s team hasn’t won in the last five matches, and they will also be part of the group stage in the Conference League, so the team needs to prepare to play on two fronts.
Sevilla couldn’t keep their unbeaten streak going and were defeated by Villarreal 1–2 at home. They currently have 7 points and are in 12th place. They have scored 10 goals, which shows that their attack is working, but they have also conceded the same number of goals. Romero is one of the top players in attack with two goals scored so far, and each of the forwards has scored at least one goal.
Both teams have some weaknesses in defense, and we expect to see a dynamic match with at least three goals scored.

Elche vs Celta Vigo
Elche drew 1–1 with Osasuna in the 6th round, earning them 10 points after 6 matches, placing them in 5th position. The team has a record of 2 wins, 4 draws, and no losses, with a goal difference of 8:5. With such a solid performance, Elche is one of the pleasant surprises and is currently in the upper part of the table. Their defense is strong, having conceded only five goals while scoring eight. Eder Sarabia can be pleased with how they started as a newly promoted team.
Celta Vigo is at the lower end of the table with just 5 points, having scored five goals and conceded 7. The team plays tough, as they have not won a single match in six games, but they also have only one loss. However, their attack is not efficient enough to bring them more than draws. Claudio Giraldez has the motivated Borja Iglesias in attack, who has scored three goals so far, and he needs to get the team into a winning form.
Elche is stable and has shown that they can compete with any team in the league, while Celta Vigo has drawn in each of their last five matches. The most likely outcome is that both teams will share a point.

Barcelona vs Real Sociedad
Barcelona started the season really well and after six matches, they are in 2nd place with 16 points, having five wins and one draw so far. The team has the best attack in the league with 19 goals scored and only 4 conceded. Their form is stable, and Hansi Flick’s team is dominating both possession and creating chances, with attackers Raphinha, Lewandowski, and Torres in great form.
In the first round of the Champions League group stage, they defeated Newcastle away, and next week they will host PSG.
Real Sociedad, led by Sergio Francisco, hasn’t had the best start to the season. After six matches, they have only earned 5 points, with one win, two draws, and three losses, placing them in 16th position. They have scored 6 goals but conceded 9, showing a decent offense but issues in defense. They have lost three of their last four matches, and even though they have quality players like Oyarzabal and Kubo, the team struggles away from home and often falters in the second half of games.
Barcelona is the clear favorite at home and has a much better form.
Real Sociedad might score a goal, but it will be tough for them to avoid a loss.

Betis vs Osasuna
Betis won against Real Sociedad in the last round with a score of 3–1. So far, they have earned 9 points from 6 matches, with a record of 2 wins, 3 draws, and 1 loss, placing them in 9th position. With 9 goals scored, it shows that their attack is working well, but the defense has some issues, having conceded seven goals. Hernandez Cucho is the key player in offense with 2 goals, along with Bakambu and Ruibal.
This week, they drew with Nottingham in the group stage of the Europa League, and next week they will visit Ludogorets.
Osasuna drew 1–1 against Elche at home, reaching 7 points and sitting in 13th place. After six matches, they have 2 wins, 1 draw, and 3 losses. Their goal difference of 5:5 indicates a solid defense but a limited attack. The form is very inconsistent, and Alessio Lisci needs to find a way to make the attack more effective.
Betis is a slight favorite at home, but Osasuna has a strong defense and knows how to secure points. Even though Betis is playing on two fronts, we expect them to earn three points at home.

Valencia vs R. Oviedo
Valencia is currently in the middle of the table after six matches with 8 points. They have been playing inconsistently, with two wins, two draws, and two losses. They have scored 8 goals but conceded 10, which shows that while their attack is working, their defense is weak, allowing more than one goal per game on average. Their form is variable, but they still manage to earn points against their rivals. The most effective player in attack is Hugo Duro, who has scored three goals so far.
R. Oviedo has had a very poor start to the season. In their last match, they were expectedly defeated by Barcelona with a score of 1:3, even though they were leading at halftime. After six matches, they have only 3 points, which means one win and five losses, placing them in 18th position. The team is struggling in attack with only two goals scored so far and one of the worst defenses, having conceded 11 goals. Their form is weak with a series of losses, and their only win hasn’t been enough to bring more stability.
Valencia is in much better form and has more quality in attack, while Oviedo is having a hard time in the league. We expect the home team to win.
