The action begins on Friday with two duels in Santander and Vitoria-Gasteiz. Real Racing Club and Elche CF will both be chasing their first win of the season when they meet at El Sardinero, with the newly promoted side hosting the 19:00 CEST kick-off. This duel will be followed by a match between two sides who remain unbeaten so far, as Deportivo Alavés welcome Villarreal CF to the Estadio de Mendizorrotza. Coming off a 1-1 draw away at Rayo Vallecano, the hosts will look for their second victory of the season. Their task will be anything but easy as they take on El Submarino Amarillo, who have recorded back-to-back 2-2 draws, in a game set for 21:00 CEST.
There are three fixtures on Saturday and the first is a clash between Real Betis, who have managed two 1-0 victories already, and a Levante UD side in search of their first win of the season. Kick-off is scheduled for 17:00 CEST at the Estadi Ciutat de València, where Los Granotes will look to score their first goal of the campaign.
Attention then turns to San Sebastian, as Real Sociedad seek to bounce back from two consecutive losses. Los Txuri-Urdin will dispute their first home game of the season as they host RCD Espanyol at 19:00 CEST, with the visitors hoping to get back to winning ways after losing 2-1 at home to Real Madrid.
Saturday’s action ends with a highly-anticipated clash between Sevilla FC and Atlético de Madrid at 21:30 CEST. Having won both of their matches against Rayo Vallecano and Athletic Club, the Andalusian side will look to ride their momentum and extend their winning streak. Meanwhile, an unbeaten Atlético de Madrid (1W, 1D) will aim for their fourth victory in their last five league matches against Sevilla FC.
Sunday will also feature three games, starting with Real Madrid vs Málaga CF at the Bernabéu. With kick-off scheduled for 17:00 CEST, José Mourinho’s side will look to make it three wins from three to open the season, while the Andalusian side are in search of their first top-flight victory since April 2018.
RC Deportivo vs Valencia CF is up next, with kick-off set for 19:30 CEST at Riazor. Heading into the game on the back of two straight 1-1 draws, the Galician side will also look to celebrate their first LALIGA EA SPORTS win since 2018 as they host a Los Che team who want to open their account after a goalless draw with RC Celta and a 1-0 loss to Real Betis in their first games of the season.
The last duel of the day will take place in Vigo, where Celta and Athletic Club will hope to grab their first victory of the campaign. With kick-off scheduled for 21:30 CEST, the hosts are coming off a 2-1 home defeat to CA Osasuna, while the visitors want to kickstart their season after suffering back-to-back defeats.
The final two fixtures of the matchday all take place on Monday, when CA Osasuna host Getafe CF at 19:30 CEST at El Sadar and FC Barcelona take on Rayo Vallecano two hours later at the Spotify Camp Nou. Having picked up four points thus far, Los Rojillos remain unbeaten following a 2-1 win at RC Celta last weekend. Meanwhile, José Bordalás’s side will look to maintain their momentum after securing their first win of the season against Real Racing Club and clinching a spot in the Conference League’s league phase midweek.
Topping the LALIGA EA SPORTS table on goal difference, thanks to a 5-0 thrashing of Elche CF that was followed by a 2-0 win against Athletic Club on Thursday, the reigning champions want to grab their third victory in a row. Yet, Barça are facing a challenging task as they host a Rayo Vallecano side who often play well against the Catalan outfit and who are looking for their first win of the campaign. That should be a thrilling way to conclude the matchday.
