Spain's "La Liga" 21:30 „Las Palmas“ - „Real Sociedad“ A clash of championship underdogs awaits in the Spanish leagues. "Las Palmas" team (6 points, 19th place) will host the "Real Sociedad" club (9 points, 16th place) at home. While "Las Palmas" team played in a lower league last season and quick results in "La Liga" championship can't be expected, "Real Sociedad", who finished in twelfth position last year, is expected to achieve much more. In the match against "Celta Vigo" last week, David Moyes' players took the lead twice, but unfortunately lost the match 2-3, conceding a goal in the 89th minute. The injured players list of the team still only includes Esteban Granero, so the club did not suffer any new losses. Imanol Agirretxe, who scored two goals last week, is showing great form and is determined to increase the number of scored goals, in addition to the eight precise strikes he already has. In the "Las Palmas" team, Castellano and Alcarazas are injured. However, both players are defenders, and the team faces the most problems in the attack. In ten matches, they have scored only seven goals, and no player has scored more than once. In order for the club to finally rise from the relegation zone, "Las Palmas" will have to find a leader in the attack. Although this match won't feature many stars or well-known names, the game is interesting simply because predicting the outcome is very difficult. Unpredictable matches and uncompromising fight for a climb from the bottom of the tournament table are what is guaranteed in these matches. German "Bundesliga" 21:30 „Hannover“ - „Hertha“ In the "Bundesliga" championship, the "Hannover" players (11 points, 14th place), who have been gaining better form recently, will face the "Hertha" team (17 points, 6th place) gradually falling from the top of the table. The "Hannover" club had a very unsuccessful start to the championship and after drawing in the first round, they lost five matches in a row. However, the team is gaining momentum now and has secured three victories in the last four matches. Currently, the team has five injured players, and the absence of Edgar Prib, their main goalkeeper, will be felt most acutely. Despite this, there are no new injuries in the team, and all players who have been performing successfully recently are ready to step onto the field for today's match. The biggest problems in the "Hertha" team are among the forwards. With two injured players and the suspended Ibisevic, the team is forced to rely on limited forward choices. After losing 1-4 to "Gladbach" last week, the Berlin players will try to remind Germany of their candidacy for European competitions after the championship ends. Although the teams occupy different positions in the tournament table, looking at their current form, one can expect a match with all possible outcomes. There are no clear favorites in this match even according to the betting companies, as they assess the teams' chances equally. France's "Ligue 1" 21:30 „Angers“ - „Rennes“ In the French championship, the championship leaders "Angers" players (22 points, 3rd place) will compete against the "Rennes" team (17 points, 10th place). The "Angers" club has simply had an amazing start to this championship, and two matches ago, they firmly held the second place in the table. However, now, after winning just one point in the last two matches, they were surpassed by two teams. By demonstrating excellent defense this season (only seven goals conceded - the best result in "Ligue 1"), the "Angers" players have already surprised the whole of France, and in this match, they will seek to end their unsuccessful series. The game they will demonstrate today may determine the rest of the club's season, just because of the confidence that these matches can add or take away. The fact that there are no injured players in the team will certainly not hinder them. Speaking of unsuccessful match series, on the opposite side there is a team that has an even longer series without wins. The "Rennes" team has not won for seven matches, and during this period, they have ended five matches in a draw of 1-1. Facing the "Angers" club, which is starting to stagnate, presents a great opportunity to get back on the track of victories, but first Giovanni Sio and other attacking players will have to break through the solid defense of the opponents. Just like in the opponent's camp, there are no reports of player injuries in the "Rennes" club either. One thing is certain, there is hardly any expectation of many goals and a high-scoring matchup in this match. The "Angers" team bases their game on defense, and the struggling "Rennes" club is also not a team that could impose their style of play on opponents and overwhelm them with a wave of goals. A 1-1 result is probably one of the most realistic outcomes of the match.
