Barcelona vs Las Palmas
Barca have also been ruthless in the Champions League, beating Italian giants Juventus 3-0 and, most recently, dispatching Sporting CP 1-0 on Wednesday. However, suggestions have been made that Blaugrana haven’t been as entertaining as they should be. As such, coach Ernesto Valverde defended his side against such accusations, saying, “Everyone is free to say what they want. I don’t get bored, especially not when we win.”
The side from the Canary Islands currently sit 15th in the standings, two points away from the bottom three, but looking very likely to drop into the relegation zone unless they can muster a memorable performance against Spain’s most in-form team.
In addition, recently appointed coach Pako Ayestaran says his side must rise to the occasion at the Camp Nou. He said, “It’s a wonderful stage to make our debut and hopefully unity will see us through and the players are well organized on the pitch. We have to have belief and that’s what we are going to try to do. It’s going to be difficult but you always get an opportunity. We’ll see if we are capable of coming away with a result.”
Valencia vs Athletic Bilbao
Marcelino Garcia has been doing a phenomenal job at the start of the season with the team which has been struggling a lot throughout the entire campaign in the last term of La Liga.
Valencia hold the fourth position after opening six rounds and they are looking to continue their fine displays at Mestalla where they are yet to concede a goal after three opening games (two wins and a draw with Atletico Madrid)
Jose Angel Ziganda’s reign at San Mames Barria is on thin ice after a poor streak of three losses and a draw in last four matches in all competitions.
The latest of the failures for Los Leones came on Thursday evening when they suffered an embarrassing 0-1 defeat to Zorya at San Mames.
Real Madrid vs Espanyol
The Portuguese superstar will play his first league match of the campaign at Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday and we expect him to be super motivated to lead his side towards a comfortable victory.
Periquitos are on a positive run of two wins and a draw in last three league outings, but it is clear that Quique Sanchez Flores and his men will have a very tough task maintaining the fine form in the seventh round of the competition.
