La Liga 2019/20 Matchday 10: A Weekend of Excitement ¶
La Liga 2019/20 matchday 10 is just around the corner, and fans are eagerly anticipating the thrilling matches that will take place this weekend. The much-anticipated clash between Barcelona and Real Madrid has been postponed due to security concerns, but the bitter rivals will be eager to have the fixture day announced.
La Liga is one of the most exciting leagues to look out for during weekends, offering the best free-flowing football and some of the greatest goals of our time. It's no surprise that the Ballon D'Or award has often been dominated by players in the La Liga, and the league has produced Champions League winners year after year.
Matchday 10 Predictions ¶
1. Villarreal vs Alaves ¶
Villarreal will be hosting Alaves at their home stadium, and the Yellow Submarines are hopeful of securing a top-four spot at the end of the season. They have been impressive at home, beating teams like Real Betis and Valladolid, and will be counting on the support of the home fans to spice up the environment for a win.
Alaves, on the other hand, will be on the road and will be seeking ways to keep Cameroon international Toko Ekambi at bay. The towering attacker scored the winner against Los Periquitos and will be a problem for the Alaves defenders.
Match prediction: Villarreal wins
Score prediction: 2-1
2. Leganes vs Mallorca ¶
The clash between Leganes and Mallorca will be the second of the weekend's La Liga fixtures and will lead all roads to the Estadio Municipal de Butarque. The Saturday fixture is a battle for relegation survival with both teams finding themselves in need of the three points.
Leganes have been struggling, and their fans are impatient with the result, while Mallorca has been having a field day since their surprise 1-0 win over Real Madrid last weekend. However, they will be on the road and will be seeking a draw.
Match prediction: Draw
Score prediction: 1-1
3. Valladolid vs Eibar ¶
Real Valladolid is in an impressive four-game unbeaten run, and they will be hoping to extend it to five. The Estadio Municipal Jose Zorilla has been a fortress for the home team, and the opposition will find it difficult to pick any points here.
Eibar, on the other hand, is fresh from a 3-0 defeat to Barcelona and will be focusing more on not conceding than scoring a goal themselves. It's a big gamble, but it appears that the hosts will have no problem picking up all the three points.
Match prediction: Valladolid wins
Score prediction: 2-1
4. Atletico Madrid vs Athletic Bilbao ¶
This is a must-watch for La Liga football fanatics around the world as two of the best Spanish La Liga teams face each other. Atletico Madrid has matured up to match the big boys and will be seeking to get back to winning ways this weekend.
Athletic Bilbao has had their ups and downs so far, and it seems they are not in full control of their fate. In their previous three games, the team has only managed to collect just one point, which is a worrying trend.
Match prediction: Atletico Madrid wins
Score prediction: 3-2
5. Celta Vigo vs Real Sociedad ¶
Celta Vigo and Real Sociedad's fans will converge at the Abanca-Balaidos stadium to witness the matchday 10 clash. Fireworks should be expected here as well as both teams aim to uphold their dignity.
Os Celeste was humiliated by Alaves when they lost 2-0, but it is time to move on and get back to winning ways. The game is expected to be a closely contested one, with both teams giving it their all.
