16/10/19 5611

La Liga's standing is now starting to adjust to it's usual way with Real Madrid, FC Barcelona and Atlético Madrid standing neck to neck in a fierce battle for the top spot.

Getafe CF - CD Leganes

Getafe CF will have the chance to move up in the standing and reach the top half after this very next home fixture against CD Leganes.

Unfortunately, CD Leganes, on the other side, are still struggling unsuccessfully to take their first three points for the new season, which probably won't happen in this away fixture either.

• Getafe CF have not been beaten in 18 of their 21 most recent home matches in all competitions.
• Of their last 7 matches (La Liga), Getafe CF have seen 6 in which both teams scored.
• Leganes's performance has been disappointing of late, as they have won just 1 of their 16 most recent La Liga clashes.
• In their last 10 La Liga matches, CD Leganes have suffered 8 losses.
• Prediction: Getafe CF @ 1.90

SD Eibar - FC Barcelona

SD Eibar's undefeated record of 4 consecutive matches will probably be crushed down this Saturday, when they host FC Barcelona.

FC Barcelona, on the other side, have shaken from the bad start and have recorded now 4 consecutive wins that will be presumably followed by another one.

• Eibar are undefeated in 15 of their last 18 home La Liga games.
• SD Eibar are reaching an an average of 2.00 goals in home La Liga games.
• Barcelona are undefeated against SD Eibar in their last 10 encounters (all competitions).
• FC Barcelona have been winning at both half time and full time their last 3 matches in La Liga.
• Prediction: FC Barcelona @ 1.52

Deportivo Alavés - Celta de Vigo

On Sunday two teams playing beyond their average rate will face each other.

Very disappointing performance from the home side, who have been defeated in their 4 out of 6 last matches.

• Deportivo Alavés have managed just 1 wins in their last 7 league games.
• Deportivo Alavés have lost at half time/full time in 4 of their last 5 league matches.
• Celta de Vigo are in an unfortunate period, having won just 1 of their last 20 away matches in La Liga.
• Celta de Vigo have drawn in 4 of their last 6 away La Liga games.
• Prediction: Draw @ 3.18

RCD Espanyol - Villarreal CF

Other rather disappointing team is RCD Espanyol, who will have to face Villarreal CF on Sunday.

Villarreal CF are showing mixed results, as the team lost their last match, but considering home side's form are definitely the favourites for this one

• Espanyol have lost by 2 or more goals in 4 of their last 6 home all competitions games.
• An unfortunate run of 4 straight home defeats in half time/full time make up the La Liga campaign of RCD Espanyol.
• Villarreal CF haven't been defeated by RCD Espanyol in 18 of their last 20 league meetings.
• Villarreal CF's stats show they have won just 1 of their 7 most recent away clashes against RCD Espanyol (La Liga).
• Prediction: Villarreal CF @ 2.46
