Sneak preview of interesting Spanish top flight football matches – La Liga Special (Part 1)
La Liga will resume over the weekend after the international break and it promises to return to its breathtaking best. Players and managers will be anxious to get back in action and the round of matches will surely please fans across the globe.
Real Sociedad vs. Barcelona
Going away to Basque Country is never an easy task and the best team in the world can testify to this claim. Real Sociedad claimed all three points against the Catalan giants in last year’s La Liga encounter. Barcelona know they have a worthy opponent in
Anoeta after Erreala won away against Sporting Gijon.
The main absentee in the champion’s side is http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Maxwell-c25051 have resumed training and will be gunning to feature for Blaugrana after missing action in the first league
game. The experienced duo of Puyol and Xavi might be rested for the game in preparation for the Champions League encounter with Milan. Pep Guardiola will not tinker with his winning formation that took to the field Villarreal.
In the opposition dugout, Philippe Montanier will be looking to halt Barcelona on their way to another league title. The tactician is new in San Sebastian and has a major assignment on his hands as the all conquering Barcelona arrive at their gates. Sociedad
have added upcoming players to their ranks and will hope that their new recruits help them stem the flowing football of their opposition.
Real Sociedad won against Barcelona but likelihood of a repeat performance is slim against a much improved and tactically efficient Barcelona. The Blaugrana will be aware of the threat they will come across and should be able to overwhelm Sociedad with ease.
A 3-0 win for Barcelona at Anoeta is on the cards.
Villarreal vs. Sevilla
League ties between the two clubs have yielded a result in their last nine encounters. This will be a daunting task for Juan http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Carlos-Garrido-c8443 after the mauling he received at the hands of Barcelona and will be looking to improve on the performance against
Sevilla. On the other hand, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ramón-c30536 Sanchez Pizjuán-based outfit will be looking to continue their winning start to La Liga.
Juan Carlos Garrido will be welcoming the prospect of Sevilla at El Madrigal. In the league game against Barcelona, Yellow Submarine were without a playmaker after the departure of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jonathan-c18993 de Guzman to fulfil his role after
an enterprising first year in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-c25261 Laudrup.
After beating Malaga in the Andalusian derby, Sevilla will be very hopeful of another victory. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Frédéric-Kanouté-c14172 returning
to full fitness, Los Rojiblancos attack with be deadlier in La Liga action, and Villarreal will have to be wary after conceding six against Barcelona at Camp Nou.
Going to El Madrigal is never easy which was witnessed in the 2010/11 campaign. The Yellow Submarine enjoyed the longest winning run in front of their supporters, which came to a halt in the second half of La Liga campaign. Sevilla will have to toughen up
on road after conceding an unhealthy 61 goals last season. The match looks to be an entertaining battle. Many goals will be scored. A 2-2 draw looks the most probable result.
