Matchday 30 of La Liga: schedules, results and match summaries | Soccer | Sports

The League returns after the national team break. Real Madrid stands out as the leader in the standings, after a new failure by Girona that allowed Barcelona to rise to second place. Athletic maintains 4th place in the Champions League, with Atlético following closely behind, and Real Sociedad marks the European zone. At the bottom, Almería and Granada, and even Cádiz, are still far from seeing salvation, marked by Celta de Vigo.

Cádiz – Granada (Friday, March 29 | 9:00 p.m., DAZN)

Both Andalusian teams begin this league day with a crisis of results that keeps them in the red zone. The team with the fewest goals, at home, faces the team with the most goals. If Cádiz wins, and Celta does not, they would be two points away from the safety spots. Granada, even if they took the victory, would still be five places behind Cádiz. The Cádiz team has five points out of the last 15 possible, and Granada only two.

Getafe – Seville (Saturday, March 30 | 2:00 p.m., DAZN)

Sevilla should not rely on the distance that separates them from relegation (currently, they are 6 points away from Cádiz) for this match. Even more so when Getafe is in a superior position (10th compared to 16th), and is playing at home. Getafe has achieved five points in the last five games, like Sevilla.

Almería – Osasuna (Saturday, March 30 | 16.15, Movistar LaLiga TV)

Almería receives Osasuna after adding its first victory of the season, last day against Las Palmas, with the debut of Pepe Mel. Even with those three points, they remain last in the standings, currently 14 points away from salvation. Osasuna, for its part, is in the middle of the table, with 36 points in 12th position. The Andalusian team has six of the last 15 points, and the Navarrese team, seven.

Valencia – Mallorca (Saturday, March 30 | 6:30 p.m., Gol Play, DAZN)

Match in which two teams maintain different objectives. Valencia still dreams of playing in Europe next season, being six points behind Real Sociedad (6th). Mallorca, for its part, could focus practically all its efforts on the Copa del Rey final next Saturday, April 6, and not focus entirely on the League, having an eight-point cushion over 18th place.

Barcelona – Las Palmas (Saturday, March 30 | 9:00 p.m., Movistar LaLiga TV)

Two clubs with opposite streaks face each other in the Catalan capital. Barcelona receives the Canary Islands team as one of the most in-form teams in the league (13 points from the last 15), while Las Palmas has only had two draws and three defeats in the same time. The culé team still has the lead at eight points, and Girona, just below, at two. UD Las Palmas is moving further and further away from Europe, whose 6th place is now nine points away.

Celta – Rayo Vallecano (Sunday, March 31 | 2:00 p.m., Movistar LaLiga TV)

Neither Celta nor Rayo Vallecano can afford not to score points in this match, as they are two teams that see the relegation zone very closely. The Galician team is the one who marks the salvation, five points above 18th, and Rayo Vallecano, two points above Celta. The locals arrive after adding seven of the last 15 possible points, two more than the visitors.

Girona – Betis (Sunday, March 31 | 16.15, DAZN)

Two teams at the top of the standings in low times are looking to regain the results that have put them in the top seven. Girona, this season’s revelation team, is beginning to lose steam after a few practically perfect months. They have added two victories and three defeats in the last five games, while Betis arrives with three consecutive defeats, one victory and one draw.

Alavés – Real Sociedad (Sunday, March 31 | 6:30 p.m., Movistar LaLiga TV)

Real Sociedad seeks to maintain European positions and even increase the distance with 7th, from which they are currently four points apart. They arrive after adding nine points from the last 15. Alavés, for their part, is in the quiet zone, 13th, and has five of the last 15 points.

Real Madrid – Athletic (Sunday, March 31 | 9:00 p.m., DAZN)

Two giants of the league face each other with two different perspectives. The white club seeks to maintain first position and distance itself from its pursuers, from whom it is separated by eight and 10 points. Add 11 of the last 15 possible points. Athletic is also having a great season, and is currently 4th, one point above Atlético, 5th.

Villarreal – Atlético (Monday, April 1 | 9:00 p.m., Movistar LaLiga TV)

Villarreal receives Atlético in great form. The local team comes from four wins in a row and a draw, which allows them, if they continue like this, to continue dreaming of European positions, from which they are currently six points away. Atlético goes to La Cerámica after suffering two defeats in a row and adding seven of the last 15 points. With their last defeat they dropped one place in the standings, which took them, in favor of Athletic, out of the Champions League positions and into the Europa League.
