SuperSport is the only place where you can get English commentary on the legendary La Liga, where this midweek round is headlined by a clash between Atletico Madrid and Getafe at Estadio Municipal in the Spanish capital city on Tuesday night.

Atletico are looking to challenge for the title, while Getafe would like to raise themselves from mid-table mediocrity and push for a place in Europe next season.

“[I have] peace of mind, knowing the team will always respond when it takes a hit. The season is long and we will continue to fight,” said Rojiblancos manager Diego Simeone, as they play the long game in the battle for top honours.

Tuesday also features Valencia visiting Rayo Vallecano and Granada hoping to boost their survival hopes with a home win against an unpredictable Sevilla side, while Wednesday opens with Barcelona hosting Almeria. This match presents the Blaugrana’s Joao Felix with another opportunity to prove his worth.

“I’m happy for him, I see him happy and that makes a difference. I told him to be calm because these ‘extra motivations’ sometimes take their toll on you. I am delighted to have him on the team,” said Barca manager Xavi on the Portuguese attacker.

Wednesday also sees Athletic Bilbao host Las Palmas and Celta Vigo visit Villarreal, while Thursday is headlined by title favourites Real Madrid playing away to Alaves at Estadio de Mendizorroza – and looking to bank a key three points before the league goes into recess for two weeks.

“We want to set a tone,” explained manager Carlo Ancelotti. “The league season is long, but there are important moments when it is crucial to pick up points. This is one of them.”

The final day of midweek action also features Real Betis hosting high-flying Girona, Real Sociedad will visit Cadiz and Mallorca host Osasuna in a battle of clubs looking to keep clear of the relegation scrap.
