Celta – Alavés (September 28, 7:00 p.m./Movistar)

Granada – Betis (September 28, 7:00 p.m./ DAZN)

Isco dazzled in his first games, but lately he has been fading. For its part, Granada arrives as the team with the most goals in the championship, with seventeen goals conceded after six days.

In front is Osasuna, which between the league and the Conference League, has now gone four games without winning, since it did so at Mestalla on the third day. Jagoba Arrasate’s team was left out in the preliminary phase of the Conference League and will have to transform the desire for revenge into good results, so that his team can aim for Europe again.

Seville – Almeria (5-1)
LaLiga EA Sports working day 7
Sevilla regained its calm with a resounding victory over Almería, bottom of the competition that has not yet won. As a consequence, its technician, Vicente Moreno, is on the wire and may be removed from his position. Round match for Sevilla, the best of the entire season, with players like Lukebakio, Sow and Suso performing at a spectacular level. Sevilla was a storm in the first half, in which they already won 3-0 after making up to 14 shots on Almería’s goal. Moments in which Lukebakio showed a colossal dimension, well accompanied by Suso. From his feet came two authentic goals that destroyed an Almería team that has many problems in defense. So many, that they have conceded 18 goals and are the team with the most goals in the First Division. It is a team that collapsed at the Sánchez Pizjuán and that offered very negative feelings against the best Sevilla of this season. Inform Rafael Pineda
Mallorca – Barcelona (2-2)
FC Barcelona has stumbled against Mallorca and, with a draw (2-2), leaves Girona with the possibility of becoming the new sole leader of the EA Sports League tomorrow in case of victory at the Villarreal stadium.

After the match, Oriol Romeu acknowledged: “The game was stuck for us from the start, we suffered, we have to improve.”
