Today the first day of the Santander League closes after the break due to the coronavirus pandemic. After Sevilla 2-0 Betis on Thursday, and Granada 2-1 Getafe, as well as Valencia 1-1 Levante on Saturday, four other matches were played yesterday. Espanyol 2-0 Alavés was marked by the expulsion of Pacheco. Bernardo and Wu Lei were the scorers. Hours later Celta 0-1 Villarreal took place, in which a goal in the discount by Trigueros decided the match. The Leganés 1-2 Valladolid was then played. The visitors took advantage of a serious mistake by Cuéllar and swam against the current for the rest of the match. Óscar Rodríguez could only make up the scoreboard after goals from Unal and Alcaraz. Late at night it was Mallorca 0-4 Barcelona. The azulgrana reaped a bulky result for the number of occasions that the Balearic team had. Vidal, Braithwaite, Jordi Alba and Messi scored on Luis Suárez's return.
Athletic de Bilbao – Atlético de Madrid (14:00 H – Movistar LaLiga)
San Mamés will host the first match on Sunday, in which Athletic de Bilbao by Iñaki Williams will host Atlético de Madrid. Simeone, who cannot count on João Félix, will leave Correa and Morata on the bench to use Marcos Llorente as a forward, a position in which he has never played before. The rojiblancos want to return to the Champions League positions this weekend, but they do not depend on themselves to get it.
Real Madrid – Eibar (19:30 H – Movistar LaLiga)
Real Madrid returns to work and does not want to lose the trail of the leader. He receives in Di Stéfano an Eibar who has statistics against him. Zinedine Zidane already knows what it is to train in this field, but there has never been so many stars at his disposal. The French coach will have a choice, since in addition to Gareth Bale and Vinicius Junior, he has Eden Hazard and Marco Asensio (already recovered from their respective injuries) to accompany the non-negotiable Karim Benzema.
Real Sociedad – Osauna (22:00 H – Movistar LaLiga)
A meeting in northern Spain closes the day. The Royal Society receives Osasuna with the intention of staying in the Champions League positions until the end of the course. It has important losses Arrasate, which has not been able to recover Chimy Ávila in these months. Nor will Kike Barja, Rober Ibañez and Ruben García, while Roncaglia, Fran Mérida and Moncayola are on the endless list of 23, but among cottons. Imanol has fewer problems, he will not be able to count on Guevara and Sangalli, but he has been able to recover Illarramendi and Zurutuza.
Barcelona (61 points), leader, leads Real Madrid by five, with one less game. Sevilla is third (50), followed by Real Sociedad (46) and Getafe (46). The Basques, unlike Madrid, occupy Champions League positions and have one more game to play. The other position in the Europa League is for Atlético de Madrid (45), which delimits the European area from which Valencia is left out with 43 points. The descent is awarded to Mallorca (25 points), Leganés and Espanyol. The red lanterns tie at 23 points.
Mirandés – Numancia (17:00 H – Movistar LaLiga)
Duel in the middle of the table between Mirandés and Numancia with a view to ensuring permanence as soon as possible. The locals will not be able to count on Franquesa on the side, while the Soria team will not have too many setbacks to prepare their starting eleven, which could remain the same as before the break, although with the added advantage that Curro has returned.
Deportivo – Sporting (17:00 H – Movistar LaLiga / Goal)
Deportivo, who went to a stop on a downhill hill after a historic comeback with Vázquez, knows that if he wins he will come out of the dreaded descent again after Oviedo's draw. Sporting, reborn from the hand of Djukic, who will return to a very special stadium for him, looks for three points that bring him closer to the playoff area to be able to dream seriously.
Albacete – Almería (19:30 H – Movistar LaLiga / Goal)
Albacete has the experience of having played a few days ago without an audience. Winning would mean leaving the relegation positions and you cannot waste this opportunity, although they will not have it easy, since they face a team settled in the playoff. Pedro Sánchez (suspended), Querol (injured) and Sergio Sánchez (injured) are the local casualties. Gutiérrez, for his part, has the entire staff at his disposal.
Cádiz – Rayo Vallecano (21:30 H – #Let's go)
Carranza will not be able to host two great hobbies such as Cádiz and Rayo Vallecano, but that will not prevent both teams from giving their all. The leader wants to be more of a leader by distancing himself from Zaragoza, while the Vallecanos, revitalized, will seek to storm the playoff positions. Cádiz will have five casualties and Rayo with four. In addition, this game will be the league debut in Carranza of the second goalkeeper of Cádiz, David Gil.
In a competition as tight as the Smartbank League, Cádiz (56 points) and Zaragoza (55) are the main candidates for direct promotion, although it is true that the Andalusians add one less game. The playoff positions are for Huesca (53), Almería (50), Girona (48) and Elche (47), where Gutiérrez's have one game less. Albacete and Deportivo have 35 points in the well, although both could leave today. They are accompanied, although with fewer possibilities, by Extremadura (32) and Racing (28).
Levante – Seville (19:30 H – Movistar LaLiga)
