Who do you think you are: Real Sociedad?

30th November 2020 by Ian Waterhouse

Real Sociedad

At the time of writing Real Sociedad sit pretty at the top of La Liga (although Atletico does have two games in hand on them) and riding a crest of a wave that has been a couple of seasons in the making. After spending many seasons threatening the top half then scattering away again, the club from the Basque country is finally finding some consistency and head coach Imanol Alguacil getting the most out of his financially smaller assembled squad than some of his upper La Liga echelons rivals. So, who is this club looking to cause an almighty shock in Spain? And where did they come … [Read more...]

Who are the three sides joining the La Liga ranks this season?

30th August 2020 by Ian Waterhouse

Elche la Liga blog

Three sides have earned the right to feast at the top table of Spanish football ahead of the new season, but who are they? What is their topflight history? And do they have what it takes to stay up? Huesca – Segunda Champions Huesca will be a familiar name to any recent follower of La Liga after bouncing straight back to the topflight after finishing 19th in their debut season in 2018/19. However, the season was not without its highs with a 2-1 home win over Sevilla a particular highlight. This season, the minnows will be far better prepared than their first foray into La Liga in … [Read more...]

Real favourites for back to back titles

31st July 2020 by Ian Waterhouse

Gareth Bale

Yes, the season may well have just finished, but the odds are in for next season, and Real Madrid are instilled as the early favourites to make it back to back titles. Perhaps understandably after Los Blancos claimed the crown by a five-point cushion over great rivals Barcelona who could end the season pot-less in what would prove to be a disappointing campaign for the Catalan giants. The early prices have Real at just slightly odds on at 9/10 with Barcelona hot on their heels at evens. As we have come to expect, Atletico are priced as the best of the rest at a rather tempting 10/1 … [Read more...]

The season is finally drawing to a close and by the time the action gets underway this weekend, most of the sides in La Liga will be onto their final five fixtures of the campaign. As we enter ‘Squeaky bum time’ each game has so much riding on it so what are the key fixtures that could shape the destiny of the 20 sides this weekend? Celta Vigo v Real Betis – Saturday 4th July Perhaps not a standout tie at the start of the season, but close to the end of it, quite another story. Just three points separated Vigo and Betis but more importantly is that the home side 17th in the league and … [Read more...]

Sitting in third, Sevilla have everything to play for whilst Betis in 12th sit eight … [Read more...]

La Liga winners and losers if the season ends now

30th April 2020 by Ian Waterhouse

Laligablog

We have seen the cancellation of the football season in the Netherlands with the season null and voided and we have seen it in France with the season ended and PSG crowned champions. That means there is a real possibility of La Liga coming to an end sooner rather than later despite the desire by all to get the campaign completed. However, with 27 games completed, if the season were to be declared over and current positions taking as they are, who would be the big winners and who would be the big winners? Who is crowned champion? The table doesn’t lie and as it stands Barcelona with … [Read more...]

What happened to Racing Santander?

29th April 2020 by Ian Waterhouse

Racing Santander La Liga blog

Throughout the 1990’s and 2000’s, Racing Santander were a regular feature in Spain’s topflight, but since relegation in the summer of 2012, the club based in the Cantabria community has seemingly dropped off the face of the Earth. It was a dramatic decline for Racing after a decade uninterrupted in La Liga as 20th place in the topflight in 2011/12 was followed up by a 20th finish the next season in the Segunda Division thus confirming back to back relegations. A familiar tale of economic issues was the main reason for the plight of the club and in January 2014, things reached boiling … [Read more...]

Who may or may not be promoted to La Liga?

31st March 2020 by Ian Waterhouse

La Liga blog

With the globe seemingly in lockdown and football no nearer to ending the current campaign, it has left many wondering whether promotion and relegation will even happen in Spain this year. If the season does end up being null and voided, who are the clubs most likely to lose out on a seat at the elite table of Spanish football? Cadiz It has been 14 years since Cadiz last graced La Liga and the club known as the yellow submarine sit in prime spot in the Segunda division to make an immediate return – but only of the season can be completed. After 31 games, Cadiz hold a one-point … [Read more...]

La Liga by numbers 2019/20

La Liga by numbers

The season may be on hold but that hasn’t stopped us from delving through the numbers that have made up Spain’s topflight this season. So, without further ado, here’s a break down of some interesting statistics that you can impress your friends during this ongoing break in play. Five This is the number of teams who can boast having held top spot in La Liga at least once this season. Real Madrid, Barcelona unsurprisingly make two of them but Sevilla, Atletico Madrid and even Athletic Bilbao have all had at least one game week at the top. 685 This is the total number of goals … [Read more...]

Will Hazard Play for Real Again This Season? One Man Thinks So

28th February 2020 by Ian Waterhouse

Laliga blog

It has been a campaign to forget for Real Madrid’s 100 million euro signing. After seven hugely successful years at Chelsea, Hazard got the move his performances art Stamford Bridge so deserved but since arriving to much fanfare in the summer, not a lot has gone right for the Belgian. Upon signing for Real, the winger suffered a hamstring injury on the eve of the start of the campaign and upon his return clearly lacked fitness – which is somewhat understandable. So far in his debut campaign, Hazard has only notched up ten appearances in La Liga and five Champions League games scoring … [Read more...]
