The battle for the first spot is getting more and more intense but Real Madrid seems to be the most consistent side. The improvement for Barcelona under the new manager Xavi is visible but they have to keep this good form in order to finish in top 4. On the other side of the table, Levante are still seeking their first win of the season.
Sevilla lost against Real Madrid last round, although they were leading in the result, and they will be determined to keep the good form from the start of the season.
On the other hand, Villareal is struggling in the domestic league and it looks like the intense fixtures in Europe reflect on the fatigue of the players.
Atletico are chasing the league leaders but their inconsistency in the defence troubles them so far.
Diego Simeone’s men have found the way to the goal but if they want to defend their title, Jan Oblak and co. must work on their improvement. Real Mallorca are out of the relegation zone but they have struggled to get the 3 points in their most recent fixtures and winning matches is vital in order to secure their place in La Liga.
This match will be vital for both teams in the relegation battle as they have equal points and sit on 17th and 18th position in the standings.
The problems in the Cadiz defence are visible as they have conceded 27 goals this term. Elche remains a tough opponent to beat but their lack of chances drops them in the bottom half of the table.
Levante are the only team without a win but they still have chances to secure their place in La Liga. Osasuna, on the other hand, have a good record in their travels and they grabbed 13 points away from home.
