Last Updated on October 18, 2022 2:07 pm by Erwin Noguera

The emotions of the very tight schedule that all European soccer leagues have continued, given the break they will take in November for the Qatar 2022 World CupLaLiga Santander does not escape from it and, after an intense weekend where the 9th matchday was played, today Tuesday will start the tenth matchday of the competition, with only 2 days of rest for the teams.

For now, Real Madrid is the only team that remains undefeated in LaLiga Santander, after crushing FC Barcelona in the classic last Sunday, with a score of 3-1. This leaves the team coached by Xavi Hernandez with a worse taste in their mouth, since, with their 3-3 draw against Inter in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League, they are practically eliminated from the European competition.

Despite this setback, FC Barcelona remains in second place in the table, now 3 points behind Real Madrid. They are followed by Betis and Atlético Madrid, who have a very nice battle between the third and fourth place in the table, both with 19 points. Then we have Athletic with 17 points and Villarreal with 15 points.

The good news we have with Sevilla is that, since the change of coach they have not lost again and, with 4 points from 6 disputed, they managed to get out of the relegation zone and positioned in 14th place with 9 points, gradually climbing positions to fight for European competitions spots.

Matchday 10 of LaLiga Santander will start today Tuesday, October 18 with the match between Sevilla and Valencia and will end on Thursday, October 20 with the match between FC Barcelona and Villarreal, which will be the highlight of this day.

Now, then, we will have a preview of the best matches that you can enjoy in this 10th LaLiga Santander matchday.

Atlético Madrid needs to continue on the path of victory in this matchday 10 if they want to keep fighting to stay at the top of the overall standings, and they will have the golden opportunity to do so when they host Rayo Vallecano at the Estadio Cívitas Metropolitano, at 03:00 pm ET.

Atlético Madrid has started the season as it has been customary for them in recent years, from less to more, so, it was not something that worried their fans and players at all. Right now, they are in third place in the overall standings, level on 19 points with Betis and just 3 points behind FC Barcelona in second place.

Likewise, for this match Cholo Simeone will not be able to count on Koke, his captain, who is out with a thigh injury. With this absence, the coach has only two doubts in this match, Oblak and Joao Felix, since both finished the match against Athletic with discomfort.

On the other hand, Rayo Vallecano faces its second consecutive Madrid derby after a 0-0 draw against Getafe on matchday 9, in a match in which the main positive note was to keep a clean sheet, something that had not happened for two months ago against Espanyol.

The goalkeeper against Getafe was the Macedonian Stole Dimitrievski, who returned to the starting lineup after a substitute match in Almeria due to a technical decision and after the debut of Diego Lopez in that match, with a very clear mistake in a goal, he did not convince Andoni Iraola.

For this match, our choice is clear, victory for Atlético Madrid with a score of 2-0.

The current leader of the general classification table, Real Madrid, continues with its spectacular run. They have not lost even 1 game since the beginning of the season and, after the great victory against FC Barcelona, they will have a game of almost relaxation against the last of the table, Elche.

This match will be played this Wednesday, October 19, 2022, at Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero, home of Elche at 03:00 pm ET.

Ancelotti remains pending the evolution of a Courtois who improved his sensations in the work session he completed on the lawn alone this Monday, with goalkeeping trainer Luis Llopis. The Belgian has not played minutes for his club since September 18, his last start in the Madrid derby against Atlético de Madrid.

Germany’s Antonio Rüdiger, who has a good chance of returning to the starting lineup against Elche, also worked out normally with his protective mask.

Real Madrid faces this tenth matchday after a spectacular victory over FC Barcelona with a score of 3-1, thanks to goals from Karim Benzemá, Federico Valverde and Rodrygo Goes.

On the other hand, we have Elche, a team that in its third consecutive season in the first division of LaLiga is not having a good time at all, since, they are the only team in the league that has not managed to win a single game, in addition, they have only scored 6 goals and conceded 21 in just 9 games played.

Elche must do a 180° turnaround to their situation as soon as possible, otherwise, they would be thinking about next season in the second division, before we even get halfway through this one.

Elche is coming from an agonizing draw in their last game against Valencia, with a score of 2-2.

For this match, our winner’s chip is for Real Madrid and our prediction is a final score of 4-0.

Real Madrid vs. Elche Betting Pick: Real Madrid

The match that will be in charge of closing this matchday 10 of LaLiga Santander will be between Villarreal and FC Barcelona, two teams that need a victory this matchday, no matter what, to continue in their respective struggles in the overall standings.

The Villarreal vs, FC Barcelona match will be played this Thursday, October 20, 2022, at the Spotify Camp Nou, home of FC Barcelona at 03:00 pm ET.

FC Barcelona has started a new stage of rebuilding as of this Monday. The team has trained at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper after losing to Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu with a score of 1-3. In the session, the main objective was to recover after the great physical demand in the Clásico to start the preparation for the clash against Villarreal.

The azulgrana team plays a day after the current leader of the standings, Real Madrid, so they will know if they will have a chance to return to the top of the table. The bad news, in any case, is that Xavi Hernández will not be able to count on any of the players who are in the infirmary, Héctor Bellerín, Ronald Araújo, Memphis Depay, and Andreas Christensen.

The most delicate decision for the Culé coach may be that of Sergio Busquets. He is a player of Xavi’s utmost confidence, but in recent matches, he has failed in specific actions and has been in the starting line-up for several consecutive games. That is why he is a candidate for substitution in the match against Villarreal.

On the other hand, we have the yellow submarine, Villarreal, a team that has accustomed us to an excellent soccer level in the last seasons, but, in 2022-23 they have not shown a good game and, that is why they are located in the seventh place of the table, with only 15 points out of 27 possible.

Villarreal knows that they have a very difficult task in their visit to FC Barcelona, not only because of the quality of the players of the Culé team but also because they are a team that has had two consecutive bad results, and they will try to exploit all their good soccer in this match.

Thus, Villarreal is looking for a victory that brings them closer to the European places and, at the same time, allows them to recover the good sensations that they are managing to maintain in European competition.

For this match, our winning chip is for FC Barcelona and our prediction is a score of 4-1.
