La Liga poll ~ 6/30/20

To celebrate reaching the halfway point of the year, La Liga has provided for you a triple header to keep you entertained all day.  Here is a look at the schedule.  All games will be aired on Bein Sports.

Celta Vigo at Mallorca – 1:30 EST.

Sevilla at Leganes – 3 PM EST.

Atletico Madrid at Barcelona – 4 PM EST.

Celta Vigo and Mallorca were tied four matches ago.  Now, Celta Vigo has an eight-point lead over Mallorca, who is stuck in the relegation zone.  Mallorca definitely needs this win because there are only six games left in the season.

The second match has Leganes hosting Sevilla.  Leganes really needs a victory because they are one point behind Mallorca in the standings.  They will have a chance today against Sevilla because Sevilla tends not to bring their A-game on the road.

The reason that there is even a poll today is due to fellow Virily blogger Halcombe Norilsk, who advised to me that Atletico Madrid was travelling to Camp Nou to go up against Barcelona.  Barcelona is currently in 2nd place, two points behind Real Madrid.  A win would put Barca back into first place.  However, this match will not be easy as 3rd place Atletico Madrid brings maximum effort and defense to the table each and every game.  Will Atletico Madrid actually help Real Madrid keep first place?
