The month of September begins and while the transfer market in Spain closes, the fourth day of the League arrives. Real Madrid is the leader with 9 out of 9 possible points and the only team that has made it to the full. The whites will put their unbeaten status to the test in their debut at the Santiago Bernabéu, on Saturday against Getafe. They are followed by Atlético de Madrid, Girona and Barcelona, ​​with 7 points. On the opposite side, Sevilla is the only team that has not yet opened its locker. Those of Mendilibar have started with the wrong foot and face a difficult clash, on Sunday at the Metropolitan. That same day, Barça closes the day by visiting Osasuna.

These are the matches of the day:

Cádiz – Villarreal (Friday 1, 7:30 p.m. Movistar LaLiga)

The two yellow teams, Cádiz and Villarreal, open the fourth day at the Nuevo Mirandilla. The calendar has provided that Cádiz play three of their first four games at home, where they are very strong and forged salvation last season. After dropping two points in discount against Almería, they now host Villarreal, who have 3 points out of 9 possible and ended up losing in their exchange of blows against Barça. With Gerard Moreno healthy, this is a game where Setién’s men have to start showing that they want to be in Europe. The people of Cádiz lose Fede San Emeterio due to suspension.

Almería – Celta (Friday 1, 10:00 p.m. Movistar LaLiga and GOL)

Almería and Celta look for their first victory of the season. Two coaches, Vicente Moreno and Rafa Benítez, need to start adding three to establish their projects and move away from the red zone. Celta, who are celebrating their Centenary, held out for almost the entire match against Real Madrid, but a goal from Bellingham made them leave empty-handed. For his part, a great goal from Kaiky gave Almería their first point of the season in Cádiz. The Andalusians, who added two defeats at home in their first two games, need to recover the solvency in their fief that allowed them to save the category last year.

Real Sociedad – Granada (Saturday 2, 2:00 p.m. DAZN)

Real Sociedad, in the Champions League hype 11 years later, has started the season with three draws that have sown some initial doubts. Imanol’s men, who drew goalless in Las Palmas, have a good chance at home against another recently promoted team, Granada. The Andalusians achieved their first win of the season against Mallorca, and despite the loss of Samu (transferred to Atlético and loaned to Alavés) they demonstrated the offensive potential they exhibited in the Second Division. Picture blue and white He hopes to gradually recover troops that will allow him to deploy the version of the last campaign.

Real Madrid v Getafe (Saturday 2, 4.15 pm. Movistar LaLiga)

Real Madrid makes its debut at the even more reformed Bernabéu, receiving Getafe. The whites are leaders with 9 out of 9 possible points despite the significant and long-term casualties they have suffered. Vinicius is now joining those of Courtois and Militao, who will be out for a month. With an attack in the box, in which Joselu is expected to gain prominence, they will have to overcome the wall of Getafe de Bordalás, who already unhinged Barça on the first day. The azulones come from adding their first three points against Alavés thanks to a goal from the white youth squad Borja Mayoral. Bellingham, top scorer in the League with four goals in three games, wants to continue his dream start as a white player.

Alavés – Valencia (Saturday 2, 6:30 p.m. DAZN)

Alavés is playing its second home game on its return to the elite. Those of Luis García Plaza want to repeat the image he gave at home against Sevilla (4-2 victory) and not the one he gave as a visitor (defeats by the minimum against Cádiz and Getafe, a priori direct rivals). It is measured against a Valencia that saw its good start slowed down with a defeat against Osasuna (1-2) in Mestalla. Those of Baraja cling to a good group of homegrown players to alleviate the shortcomings of the club, which has hardly moved in the transfer market. The Valencians have failed to win on their last six visits to Vitoria.

Betis – Rayo Vallecano (Saturday 2, 9:00 p.m. Movistar LaLiga)

Betis and Rayo meet at Villamarín after conceding two tough defeats. That of the Verdiblancos, because they had started winning 0-2 in San Mamés after ten minutes, and that of the Vallecanos because of how forceful it was: (0-7) against Atlético de Madrid. Despite the conceded win, Francisco has the team where he inherits the difficult task of replacing Iraola with 6 points out of 9 possible. There are two more than Betis has, which has had a complicated calendar with Villarreal, Atlético and Athletic. What does seem a fact is the resurrection of Isco Alarcón, who has accumulated three MVPs in three league games.

Girona – Las Palmas (Sunday 3, 2:00 p.m. DAZN)

Girona receives Las Palmas after signing a league start that only Real Madrid improves. Míchel’s team continues with the high level that he already demonstrated in the second round of last year. After storming the Sánchez Pizjuán, they receive a recently promoted team like Las Palmas, who is competing well on their return to First Division, but who is having a hard time scoring a goal. García Pimienta’s men have 2 points and a single goal, from Jonathan Viera from a penalty on the first day. These two teams have only met in the first one season, 2018/2019, where the Catalans won (1-2) in Gran Canaria and crushed the yellows (6-0) in Montilivi.

Mallorca – Athletic (domingo 3, 16.15 h. Movistar LaLiga)

In Son Moix two teams with opposite dynamics face each other. Mallorca has two consecutive defeats, while Athletic has won two games. Valverde’s men brought out their best version led by a stellar Nico Williams to knock down Osasuna and Betis and seek to extend their streak in Mallorca. It has been difficult for Javier Aguirre’s team to get off the ground, adding a point of 9 this season, where they will try to achieve salvation with the same solvency as last year. In the scorers’ duel, Vedat Muriqi, Majorca’s top scorer last year, has yet to find a goal; while Gorka Guruzeta accumulates two consecutive days scoring.

Atlético de Madrid – Sevilla (Sunday 3, 6:30 p.m. DAZN)

Atlético de Madrid receives Sevilla after endorsing Rayo seven goals with their most lethal version in attack. Although Simeone has reiterated that the team is not up to Madrid and Barça to win the title, they hope to be there to take advantage of the mistakes of the two colossi. Sevilla arrives at the Metropolitan with many doubts, bottom and with the points box still unreleased. Despite the fact that Mendilibar’s team had finished the course in spectacular fashion, with a comfortable salvation and qualification for the Champions League via the Europa League, the new project is showing cracks. Especially in defense, where they are the team that fits the most (8 goals in 3 games).

Osasuna – Barcelona (Sunday 3, 9 p.m. DAZN)

Barcelona, ​​which will already know what Real Madrid and Atlético have done, closes the day at El Sadar. Xavi’s men have started the League with doubts, although with an irruption that brings great hope for the present and the future: the beardless Lamine Yamal. The youth squad player was key in Barça’s triumph at Villarreal and he is already a starter at Barça at the age of 16. The Navarrese will try to make up for their elimination in the Conference League qualifier at the hands of Bruges. The Arrasate team will now only have the League and the Cup to repeat their good performances from last season.
