Barca Tackle Real Mallorca, Madrid Against Eibar In Laliga
more than three months of absence due to COVID- 19 pandemic, the 2019- 20 Laliga season will be back on the screens of Supersport viewers on Dstv and Gotv, with round 28 matches.
The first schedules, which started on June 11 and run to June 14, will be broadcast live on Supersport 7 to Dstv Premium, Compact and Compact Plus subscribers and Supersport Select 4 exclusive to Gotv Max subscribers. The first game upon return was the Seville derby, also known as the Great Derby ( El Gran
Derbi), was between Sevilla and Real Betis at Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan on Thursday night. Seville won 2- 0.
The two teams are experiencing very different fortunes, with Sevilla looking to secure a top- four finish and a place in the UEFA Champions League next season, while Real Betis are trying to push themselves up to mid- table and remain clear of the relegation battle below them.
Sevilla defeated Real Betis 2- 1 when the teams met at Estadio Benito Villamarin back in November 2019.
Today, attention will turn to the title race between the league leaders and defending champions, Barcelona, and nearest chaser and rival, Real Madrid.
Barcelona will be in action today when they head to Estadi de Son Moto face relegationthreatened Real Mallorca. La Blaugrana will be hoping to claim a win and maintain their two- point lead atop the table.
On the other hand, Real Madrid will welcome 18th- placed Eibar at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu tomorrow ( Sunday). Los Blancos will have to win at home to sustain their title bid against a team scrapping to keep their heads above water in the lower reaches of the log.
The remaining team from the ‘ big three’, Atletico Madrid, will also be in action on Sunday with a testing clash away to Athletic Bilbao at the San Mames Barria. The visitors will need a three- point haul to revive their push to finish in the top four and ensure they return to the UEFA Champions League next season.
