Saturday, April 12th
BST 15:15 Getafe vs Las Palmas
While Getafe might have accepted that their shock European ambitions have gone up in smoke, Saturday’s hosts are signing of the 2024/25 campaign with a flurry.
Making an immediate return to wining ways last weekend as they stormed their way to a dominant 4-0 victory away at Real Valladolid, the Blues do have their sights set on booking a top-half finish this season.
Heading into March’s International break with a 2-1 victory against Osasuna, Jose Bordalas’ men have registered nine points from their last four La Liga appearances and the mood in their camp should be at a high.
With their recent purple patch underlined by a famous 2-1 win against local rivals and Spanish giants Atletico Madrid on March 9th, Getafe’s attacking starlet will also be looking to extend on his free-scoring run.
Completing a January loan switch from Villarreal during the January transfer window, 24-year-old Ramon Terrats has recorded consecutive La Liga braces on either side of the fortnight interval.
While Las Palmas might have eventually clung to their La Liga status last season, Diego Martinez’s camp are facing what is a major uphill battle this time around.
Opening this weekend’s fixtures sat firmly in the relegation zone and four points adrift of safety, it is no secret that the Yellows are pencilled in as a standout relegation candidate in 2025.
Last seen falling to a 3-1 drumming at home against Real Sociedad, the former Sevilla coach has not seen his struggling squad muster a single victory across any competition from their previous 13 appearances across all competitions.
It should also be highlighted, Las Palmas have failed to register a single La Liga victory away from the Estadio Gran Canaria since the end of November.
Tip: Ramon Terrats over 0.5 shots on target @ 6/4
17:30 Arsenal vs Brentford
Putting in what was a sensational European performance earlier in the week, Arsenal will certainly find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high as they turn their attention back to Premier League duties on Saturday evening.
Storming their way to what was an iconic 3-0 romp against Spanish giants Real Madrid on Tuesday night, Mikel Arteta will certainly be calling on a repeat display here.
Despite opening this weekend’s fixtures 11 points adrift of runaway leaders Liverpool and already accepting that their domestic title dreams have gone up in smoke for another season, Arsenal will be looking to keep up their recent momentum ahead of their trip to Madrid next week.
Marking their return from March’’s international break with a 2-1 win against Fulham, the Gunners have suffered just a single defeat in north London across any format so far this season.
Landing a thumping 3-1 victory when they travelled to west London for their reverse Premier League meeting on New Year’s Day, Arsenal will be smelling another opportunity here.
While some in Brentford’s camp might have opened 2025 with their sights set on mounting a late European charge, Saturday’s guests have struggled to find much recent stability.
Despite snatching a 0-0 stalemate against local rivals Chelsea last weekend, Thomas Frank’s side have collected just a single win from any of their previous five Premier League appearances.
Dropping out the top-half of the table, the Bees should also be worried by a nightmare record against the Champions League dreamers.
Including that 3-1 loss back on New Year’s Day, Brentford have lost each of their previous four consecutive meetings against the Gunners by an aggregate score of 7-2.
Tip: Arsenal win & Under 4.5 goals @ 21/20
20:00 Leganes vs Barcelona
Although some around Catalonia might have been shocked last summer following Hansi Flick’s arrival, Barcelona have embarked on a sensational rise under the former Bayern Munich boss.
Opening this weekend’s fixtures holding a four-point buffer at the top of the La Liga table, Saturday’s guests have their sights firmly set on completing what would be an historic silverware sweep over the final couple of months.
Breezing their way to a remarkable 4-0 romp against Borussia Dortmund earlier in the week, Flick’s high-flying squad are regarded as a genuine Champions League contender in 2025.
Crowned Super Cup champions back in January following a famous 5-2 victory against arch-rivals Real Madrid over in the Middle East, Barca have not suffered a single defeat across any competition so far this calendar year.
Heading into March’s international break with a remarkable 4-2 victory away at Atletico Madrid, the Spanish heavyweights have gained a reputation for their free-scoring performances in the final third.
Although Leganes might have made their La Liga return this season, the Cucumber Growers have a real battle on their hands in the race to avoid an immediate Segunda return.
Getting Saturday’s fixtures sat in the drop zone and two points adrift of safety, Borja Jimenez’s camp couldn’t have asked for a tougher examination this weekend.
Only putting one-point on the board from any of their last four La Liga appearances, the Madrid-based outfit have also notched just a single victory from their previous 11 matchups across all fronts.
Suffering consecutive 3-2 losses against Real Madrid and Real Betis on either side of March’s international break, Leganes have also shipped a trio of goals in three of their last five showdowns at the Estadio Municipal Butarque.
