La Liga 2025-2026: Mallorca-Rayo Vallecano, the probable formations

Four matches for La Liga on Sunday: it starts at 2 p.m. with Osasuna-Betis, a balanced challenge between two teams looking for important points. At 4:15 p.m. it is the turn of Mallorca-Rayo Vallecano, a confrontation that neither team should miss: there are many former ‘Italians’ in the island team. In the late afternoon, at 6:30 p.m., Celta Vigo and Real Oviedo take the field, with the hosts called upon to take advantage of the field factor. Closing out the evening program at 9 p.m. is Athletic Bilbao-Villarreal, the most anticipated match of the day, which may have an important weight in the race for European positions.

Saturday in Spain was a day full of goals. A 1-1 draw between Real Madrid and Girona in Friday’s advance, a result that holds back the Blancos against an always tough team. Spectacle and balance between Real Sociedad and Alavés, which closed to 3-3 at the end of an eventful match, also marked by a red card. A narrow victory for Elche, which overcame Valencia 1-0 in a hard-fought challenge. A clear victory, on the other hand, for Barcelona, which won 4-1 in the derby against Espanyol. Finally, blow for Sevilla, which beats Atlético Madrid 2-1, bringing home three heavy points.
