After a full week of preparation and training for all 20 teams, La Liga is back this weekend with a very important round of matches in the title race. The two leaders cannot drop any points as it gets closer to an important El Clásico. And for the all-time winners, this is a chance to show their strength and send a message to their biggest rivals.
Real Madrid vs. Espanyol
- When: Saturday, December 7
- Time: 7:00 a.m. ET

Real Madrid arrives in this one in great form, unbeaten in eight matches and navigating a tough stretch of games brilliantly to stay neck and neck with Barcelona in first place. The two will meet at Camp Nou in less than two weeks and Los Blancos have two league matches until then to pick up six points, keep the unbeaten run going and play their biggest game of the season with all the confidence in the world.
This weekend’s game against relegation candidate Espanyol looks to be the perfect chance to win big at home and put pressure on Barça. After all, Espanyol is 19th in the table with just one win in its last seven and has one of the worst defenses in the league. The funny thing is Espanyol has been a Top 10 team on the road, so the team can’t be taken lightly. However, with Madrid having won four of the last five games against Espanyol and the urgency to keep up with Barcelona, there’s only one favorite to win this one.
