Preview of La Liga Round of 12 games: Valencia host Barcelona as Real Madrid travel to Girona

Football News Preview of La Liga Round of 12 games: Valencia host Barcelona as Real Madrid travel to Girona
OCT 28, 2022 LISTEN

SuperSport viewers on DStv and GOtv can look forward to Round 12 action from the 2022-23 La Liga, with matches scheduled to run from Friday 28 to Monday 31 October 2022.

DStv and GOtv is the only true home of football in Africa, offering a range and depth of action that no other rival can match – it’s literally ‘Unbeatable Football’! If you’re going to spend your money on something, it may as well be on the best football in the world.

SuperSport is the only place where you can get English commentary on the legendary La Liga, where the headline fixture sees Valencia welcome Barcelona to Estadio de Mestalla. The Blaugrana have won the last three league meetings of these teams, and will aim to complete a quartet in order to keep up their push for the title, but Los Che manager Gennaro Gattuso is hoping for an upset.

“We know the quality of Barcelona’s team and the history they have,” said the Italian. “But we cannot be afraid of past results. All that matters is the game in front of us and the chance to write our own story.”

Another potential thriller in Spain’s top flight this round sees Real Sociedad and Real Betis meet at the Reale Arena in San Sebastian. Though neither Los Txuri-Urdin nor Los Verdiblancos look like genuine title contenders this season, their meeting could be key in deciding qualification for either the UEFA Champions League or UEFA Europa League.

“Both teams are in a good moment,” said Betis manager Manuel Pellegrini. “It will be a difficult match, decided by small details. We will be ready for the challenge and embrace the need to sometimes suffer against a very good team.”

La Liga champions Real Madrid will back themselves to get all three points when they welcome Girona to Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, while Atletico Madrid have a tricky match away to Cadiz at Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla – with manager Diego Simeone hoping Angel Correa can make the difference in the match.

“Angel makes us happy, because he is all heart,” said Simeone. “On many occasions he has not started matches, but in all of these years at the club he has always played, by merit, for making an impact, for getting angry, for showing it… When he is angry off the pitch, he shows it on the pitch and this gives him more of a chance to play in a team that is all passion, demands, we have our demands very high.”
