La Liga
Saturday, 19th November
Real Betis 1-1 Las Palmas (1:15 AM)
Deportivo la Coruna 0-2 Sevilla (5:30 PM)
♦ Barcelona 3-1 Malaga (8:45 PM)
The Catalans have major players coming back from injury, and with Leo Messi and Neymar enjoying a productive international break, there should be a positive mood when Barcelona welcome Malaga to the Nou Camp. MSN should continue their superlative form in front of goal, as Barcelona have a great chance to claw back some points at the top of the La Liga table.
Eibar 2-2 Celta Vigo (11:00 PM)

♦ Atletico Madrid 1-0 Real Madrid (1:15 AM)
Real Madrid’s unbeaten run of 28 games without a defeat could come to an end at the Vicente Calderon, as Zinedine Zidane’s side have not been very impressive this season despite being top of the Liga table. Atletico have history on their side when it comes to the Madrid derby at the Calderon, having gone unbeaten 9 times in the league, winning 5. Antoine Griezmann could be the Rojiblancos difference maker yet again, as the Frenchman has a penchant of turning up for the big games, while Diego Simeone will undoubtedly fashion an impregnable defence.
As for Real Madrid, they have concerning injury news, with Alvaro Morata ruled out. Cristiano Ronaldo’s poor form in front of goal looked to have ended against Alaves, but the Portuguese superstar might be thwarted by a stubborn Atletico defence, with the hosts likely to claw back the gap that Madrid have opened up at the top of the table.
