Europe and salvation, the struggles of a weakened day 17

The First Female does not finish catching the rhythm in this 2021. The storm Filomena and the COVID-19 pandemic have caused more than a dozen postponements in the last three days. The last one, the one announced yesterday by Barcelona and Athletic because of a positive case and ten close contacts in the red and white squad. Total, there are three games that will not be played on this day 17 (Granadilla-Eibar and Deportivo-Sporting de Huelva were already suspended due to coronavirus). Thus, after the victory in extremis of Real Madrid on Santa Teresa yesterday, the bulk of the matches are held this Wednesday, with Europe and salvation as main struggles.

Madrid CFF receives Sevilla in Matapiñonera (13:30 hours) with Champions squares between eyebrows.

Betis has not won since last November 11, 2020, accumulating nine consecutive defeats. They have quality, work capacity and dedication, but they don't hit the mark.

His fight, that of salvation, is also that of Logroño and Rayo Vallecano (6:30 p.m., LaLiga Sports TV), with 10 and 15 points respectively, who will star in Las Gaunas a high tension duel with much more than a victory at stake. While, Espanyol, with 14 points, will want to add again against Valencia (16:30 hours) what is tenth and that he is living this season much more calmly than the previous one (when he was penultimate at the time of the suspension of the competition).
