Villarreal bounced back from a heavy 5-1 loss to Barcelona by securing a 2-1 comeback victory against Espanyol, marking their fourth win of the season (D2, L1). With 14 points from seven matches, this is their best start since the 2015/16 season.

Osasuna’s goalless draw against Valencia on Tuesday kept them in touch with La Liga’s top-four, marking their second clean sheet of the season. However, consistency remains a challenge as Osasuna are yet to win consecutive games this season, with a record of W3, D2, L2.

Getafe’s struggles continued as they remained winless this La Liga season (D4, L3) after a narrow 1-0 defeat to Barcelona. Despite their defensive efforts (conceding just 0.86 goals per game), Getafe’s inability to score, with only three goals to their name, has hampered their progress.

Valladolid head back home following a heart-wrenching 2-1 defeat against Sevilla in midweek. Their season has taken a downturn since their opening weekend win, with major struggles in front of goal.

Defensively, things are equally concerning, as Valladolid have conceded 15 goals, the highest in the league after their latest loss.

Celta Vigo have started the season on a positive note, comfortably sitting in mid-table ahead of this Round 7 fixture. Despite a 3-1 loss to Athletic Club in their last outing, they have won all three home games in La Liga this season. They now aim for four consecutive home wins for the first time since December 2020.

Las Palmas enter this Round 7 clash still seeking their first win of the season, having drawn twice and lost four times.

After back-to-back victories on matchdays three and four, Girona seemed to be gaining momentum in La Liga, but three consecutive defeats have halted their progress, leaving fans concerned. Their latest disappointment came in a 2-0 loss to a struggling Valencia side, with Girona managing only three shots on target.

Espanyol's recent performance saw them take a surprising lead against Real Madrid, but they ultimately lost 4-1, conceding three goals in the final 15 minutes. Despite the setback, head coach Manolo González praised the team's character, especially as it was their first defeat in four matches (W2, D1).

Valencia’s 2-0 victory over Girona on Saturday marked their first win of the season after six attempts, although their current four points from six games is their worst start to a season since 1999/00. Interestingly, that season they still managed to finish third.

Sevilla’s difficult start to the season worsened after a 2-1 loss to Alavés, marking their third defeat of the campaign (W1, D2). Falling behind within the first 20 minutes, Sevilla couldn't recover, a worrying trend as they haven't won any of their last 26 league matches after conceding first (D6, L20).

Rayo Vallecano's La Liga campaign has been mixed so far (W2, D1, L2), but they enter this match with confidence after a solid 3-1 home win against Osasuna. This will be their second consecutive home game, and they aim to secure back-to-back victories at Vallecas for the first time since May 2023.

Valencia's La Liga season has been troubling, as they find themselves at the bottom of the table after a heavy 3-0 defeat to Atlético Madrid. This is the first time since the 2018/19 season that Valencia has failed to win any of their first five league matches.

Real Madrid come into this fixture unbeaten after five LaLiga games (W3, D2), but two draws have left them four points behind Barcelona. Despite the gap, their defense has been solid, with back-to-back 2-0 league wins, continuing a trend of winning by multi-goal margins without conceding. In midweek, they secured a 3-1 home victory over Stuttgart in the Champions League, and Madrid have shown no signs of slowing down in matches following European commitments, winning their last five such games—four of them without allowing a goal.

Osasuna will look to bounce back from a 3-1 defeat to Rayo Vallecano as they host Las Palmas. Despite their recent setback, Osasuna has been strong at home, remaining unbeaten in their last five home matches (W2, D3), with both wins coming this season.

Real Valladolid's difficult start to the new LaLiga season continued with a 3-1 loss at Celta Vigo last weekend, extending their winless streak to four matches (D1, L3).

Alavés have enjoyed their best La Liga start in six years, collecting seven points from their first five matches (W2, D1, L2). Despite this promising form, manager Luis García has cautioned fans not to get too carried away, emphasizing that the team, with 14 new arrivals this summer, is still in the process of gelling. This follows a 3-2 defeat at Espanyol after back-to-back wins over Las Palmas and Real Sociedad.

Leganés return home after a 2-0 defeat to Real Betis, but head coach Borja Jiménez remains optimistic, dismissing any concerns over their scoring drought. With three consecutive goalless games and a low cumulative xG of 0.53, the team's struggle has been more about creativity than finishing.

Real Betis managed to secure their first league win of the season with a 2-0 victory over Leganés, breaking their scoring drought. This win came after a challenging start, with only one goal scored in their previous league matches. With manager Manuel Pellegrini set to make history as the foreign coach with the most La Liga matches, Betis is eager to mark this milestone with consecutive home victories.

Mallorca suffered a tough defeat over the weekend despite their determined performance against Villarreal. Ayoze Pérez's late goal led to a 2-1 loss, leaving Mallorca with just one win in their first five matches (D2, L2). This continues a troubling trend from last season, where they finished 15th and struggled to find the net, scoring only three goals from 57 attempts this season.
