La Liga

RCD Mallorca (10th, 8pts) vs FC Barcelona (2nd, 16pts)*. *Points and positions at the time of writing on Friday. Competition/Round: 2022-23 La Liga, ...

This won’t be easy, and it’ll be just a taste of what’s to come. Mallorca will play a back five, press high, and counter-attack with pace. They are well coached and have talented attacking players, and only Real Betis have been able to win in Mallorca so far this season. The team is in solid shape, and now it’s time to show what they’re made of. The first six weeks of the season have been very good, with six wins in eight games and a near perfect start to the La Liga campaign. It is no exaggeration to say that October might just be the most important month of the entire season.

Following a week off, we're onto week seven of the 2022 La Liga season as things are heating up across Spain. With a full slate of games on tap for this ...

La Liga contenders Barcelona look to remain undefeated when they travel to face Mallorca on Saturday on Matchday 7. Barca are 5-1-0 on the campaign with 18 ...

Xavi's men enter a tricky stretch of the season following this game as they'll face Inter Milan twice, Bayern Munich once, Real Madrid in El Clasico, Villarreal, Athletic Bilbao and Valencia all in October. Barca: Ronald Araujo is set to be sidelined for three months with an adductor injury, while fellow center back Jules Kounde has an Achilles injury. Barca are 5-1-0 on the campaign with 18 goals scored, while the hosts find themselves in 10th place with a 2-2-2 record and an encouraging start after flirting with relegation last season.

Madrid (Spain): Injuries have affected the plans of FC Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez ahead of his side's visit to play Mallorca on Saturday.

“The injuries are frustrating, but we have to look ahead. The Barcelona coach said he didn’t want to blame anyone for the injuries and pointed out that “Bellerin got injured while with us” before saying he expected a “difficult game” against a rival that is “defensively very strong.” Franck Kessie could also have his chances in the middle of the park as the coach looks to shuffle his squad.

Barça Atlètic midfielder Marc Casadó is also called up to play right-back if necessary. The next Barcelona match is upon us! The international break was brutal for Barça, who were hit harder than any other top club by the “FIFA virus”. The match kicks off at 9pm CET (Barcelona), 8pm BST/WAT (UK & Nigeria), 3pm ET, 12pm PT (USA), 12.30am IST (India, Sunday), and you can join us to follow and comment all the action. There are good news as Sergi Roberto has recovered from a nagging injury that kept him out of the last two games before the break, and the Catalan returns to provide much needed cover at right-back. Ronald Araujo (groin), Jules Kounde (hamstring), Frenkie De Jong (hamstring) and Memphis Depay (hamstring) all miss out in this one, and Héctor Bellerín (calf) is also set for a spell on the sidelines after getting injured in training.

MADRID, Oct. 1 (Xinhua) -- Real Madrid look to maintain their perfect start to the season when they play Osasuna in the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium on Sunday.

Osasuna started the season well, but were pegged back by a home defeat to Getafe before the international break and the Bernabeu is not a happy place for them to visit. The Brazilian and Fede Valverde were both excellent before the international break and it says a lot about the depth of Madrid's squad with Benzema's return probably seeing one of them miss out in midweek. Carlo Ancelotti's side go into the game with six wins from six in La Liga and with two wins from their two Champions League games, ahead of a fortnight that could see them assure their place in the knockout stage of the tournament with two matches against Shakhtar Donetsk, before playing FC Barcelona in the first "Clasico" of the season.

The home side could be without the services of Karim Benzema yet again as he is coming back from an injury. With Champions League fixtures coming up next week, ...

Osasuna has yet to concede more than two goals in a single match this season and will enter this contest with a defensive game plan. The home side has yet to keep a clean sheet in La Liga play this season, but this is where they turn it around defensively. Without Benzema, the Real Madrid attack has not skipped a beat as they defeated Mallorca 4-1 in their last La Liga match before the international break. Osasuna (+825) There is no value betting on the over 2.5 goals in the game as it is heavily juiced, but I do like both teams to not score. Under 2.5 (+125)
