The matches of the XV round of the Spanish La Liga will continue from Friday to Monday, and the round has already started with the match "Oviedo" – "Mallorca" (0:0).
İdman.Biz reports that two games that will affect the group of leaders occupy a special place in the list of the round's main posters: "Betis" – "Barcelona" and "Athletic" (Bilbao) – "Atletico" (Madrid).
"Betis" – "Barcelona" (December 6)
The leader "Barcelona" will be the guest of "Betis", who is continuing the fight for the Eurocup with 24 points. The Catalan club has 37 points, and "Betis" has collected 24 points with one game less, and this match can cause serious changes in the upper part of the tournament table.
The guests increased their mood by defeating "Atletico" 3:1 in the last round. "Betis", on the other hand, gained emotional advantage before the leader's visit by winning the derby against "Sevilla" (2:0) in La Liga.
"Athletic" (Bilbao) – "Atletico" (Madrid) (December 6)
The meeting to be held in Bilbao is of vital importance for both the home team and the guests in terms of not falling behind the leading group. "Atletico" is in the 4th place with 31 points, and "Athletic" is in the 8th place with 20 points.
The atmosphere of "San-Mames" will have a serious impact on the game. Against the background of the last two major defeats (0:3 to "Real", 0:4 to "Barcelona"), this match is also seen as an opportunity for "Athletic" to regain lost confidence.
