MADRID, 18 Nov. (PRESS EUROPE) –
FC Barcelona will look to maintain their dominance in the 2022-2023 Finework League this weekend with a new win against Deportivo Alavés Gloriosas, a duel before their first European exam, while Madrid CFF will defend their second place against Villarreal threatened by Atlético, Levante and Real Madrid, in matches corresponding to the ninth day of the championship.
After the international break, Barça will try to add their 43rd consecutive win in the women’s league, which seems quite feasible given that they will face a team from Vitoria who are penultimate and with only two points to their credit, in a duel in which they could rotate some fixed pieces in front of the Champions League visit to Bayern.
Jonatan Giráldez’s team, with the good news of an extra team after the medical resignation of the young Bruna Vilamala, who has already recovered from a serious knee injury, arrives at the duel strengthened in its leadership after beating one of its direct rivals such as Real Madrid (0-4) and will be hoping to avoid any problems with a host they beat 9-1 last year.
Barça lead Madrid CFF by five points, who have only lost to Johan Cruyff and who will be looking for a fourth consecutive victory in a visit from Villarreal who have added just one point from their last five games.
Behind the Madrileños, two points behind, are Atlético de Madrid and Levante UD, who will try to stay in the upper zone in their respective away games against Levante Las Planas, who have lost three times in a row, and against Valencia in a derby expected to have competed for the good start ‘che’.
Furthermore, Real Madrid, still with one game to spare and dropped to fourth place after losing to the leaders, will want to get back on the road to victory in an always difficult visit to Sporting de Huelva, even if they could be favored by the fact that match at Nuevo Colombino, who will open the Huelva women’s team that won 3-1 last year and could take advantage of the fact that the rival is thinking more about the Champions League match against Chelsea in London.
The weekend will also be marked by two other attractive derbies, in addition to the Valencian one. Real Sociedad will have an ever-attractive Basque derby in Lezama against an improved Athletic Club and Sevilla will receive Betis looking to approach the top. The day ended with a duel between bottom club Alhama CF, who have yet to add anything, and UDG Tenerife, who went three games without a win.
