The six-time Spanish champion last season could not even get into the Europa League. Such a performance was associated with a frequent change of coach, while during a short pause the club not only did not strengthen the lineup, but also sold several good performers. The start of the new season for the charges of Xavi Garcia, who signed a contract with the Orange team in the summer, turned out to be quite successful. In eight rounds, the “bats” won two victories and drew twice. After the victory over Real Sociedad (1:0), hosts lost three matches and in the last one drew with Getafe (2:2). Diahabi, Correia and Esquerdo will not be able to enter the field.
The Wolves played good last season. The team ran out of steam at the finish line, which is why they did not make it to the European cups. The tragedies of this did not become. After all, the English teams have the Premier League in priority. So far, Wolverhampton is performing well in the national championship. In the standings, Nuno Espirito Santo’s charges are only two points behind Leicester and are in sixth position. The last segment of the championship for the “wolves” was successful. In the previous four rounds, they have earned ten points. Already in their traditional style with a small number of goals scored and reliable defense, they achieved success in the matches against Fulham (1:0), Leeds (1:0) and Crystal Palace (2:0) and also ended in a draw with Newcastle (1:1). Although it should be noted that for seven rounds Wolverhamton met only one top rival Manchester City, to which they lost 1:3 at home. The wolves have no losses in their roster. Only Honatan Castro Otto will not play, but he was eliminated until January. More soccer prediction can be obtained from the link provided.
