I watched all 10 matches of the first round, and if I am brutally honest the only team who impressed was Barcelona.

Alaves were not actually bad either despite the bad final result vs Real Madrid, and Mallorca were very equal to Real Betis. … and as I am watching now the final minutes of Betis - Cadiz this only cerfifies the fact Betis are not a good benchmark at the moment”

Alaves are continuing with Javi Calleja who saved them with his own hands last season after the late managerial change, and indeed in the first 1-4 loss to Real the underlying xG-data was about 50/50 until the late goal by Vinicius, and in my books it was a good start. Alaves were the better side in the first and the difference was the finishing, it looked like a 2-2 game to me.

Alaves have no injuries, but they sold good striker Lucas Perez to Las Palmas. At another time it might had been a blow, but lately there has been no role found for him and this sale probably is only a good thing regarding team cohesion.

This is match between two experienced sides, and both are likely to be involved in the relegation battle so it might be defensive-looking from the start. Then again, matches like these are the ones that Alaves need to win at home!

Last time when Mallorca played in La Liga was just a season ago, but then they had the destiny that surprisingly many teams from islands do. They are decent at home, but horrible on the road, which can be seen from their 1-3-15 away matches saldo! There have naturally been changes in personnel since then, but it makes you wonder how they do this time?

Mallorca also have pretty much optimal lineup available as they only miss new signing Jaume Costa and Antonio Sanchez. The problem is that there are no reliable scorers in the team, the sole goal v Betis was scored by debutant left full-back! They signed a veteran striker Angel Rodriguez, but he is from Getafe, 34-yo, and started only in fourth of the games. The other signing Fer Nino from Villarreal has a lot to do to impress me. Midfield looks relatively strong though with Battaglia and Baba. Take Kubo needs to show this season if he is up to this task really.

Alaves are the better team, strong at home vs a weak traveller. There will be changes in the lineup, especially in the midfield as this is completely different task than facing the giants. Perhaps new signing Loum starts this time? Unless their most important player Joselu is leaving the club - transfer to Sevilla has been rumoured - they are around 48% home favourites.

我看了第一轮的所有 10 场比赛，老实说，唯一给我留下深刻印象的球队是巴塞罗那。

尽管最终对阵皇家马德里的比赛结果不佳，但阿拉维斯实际上也并不差，而马洛卡与皇家贝蒂斯的比赛非常均衡。......这只能证明贝蒂斯目前不是一个好的基准”

阿拉维斯继续与哈维·卡列哈（Javi Calleja）合作，后者在上赛季后期的管理层变动后亲手拯救了球队，事实上，在第一场 1-4 输给皇马的比赛中，基本的 预期数据约为 50/50，直到维尼修斯的进球，我认为这对于他们是一个好的开始。阿拉维斯在第一场表现更好，不同之处在于终结能力，对我来说这看起来像是一场 2-2 的比赛。

阿拉维斯没有新的受伤，但他们将优秀的前锋卢卡斯佩雷斯卖给了拉斯帕尔马斯。以往这可能是个打击，但最近没有找到适合他的角色，这次出售对球队是一件好事。

这是两支经验丰富的球队之间的比赛，双方都有可能卷入保级战，所以从一开始就可能就是防守。像这样的比赛是阿拉维斯需要在主场取胜的比赛！

上一次马洛卡在西甲比赛是一个赛季前，但他们的命运却出人意料。他们在主场表现不错，但在客场很糟糕，这可以从他们客场战绩 1胜3平15负比赛中看出！之后自然是球员变动，但不知道这次他们是怎么做的？

马洛卡也有很多最佳阵容可供选择，因为他们只缺少了新签约的豪梅科斯塔和安东尼奥桑切斯。问题是队内没有可靠的得分手，对阵贝蒂斯的唯一进球是由左后卫打进的！他们签下了一名老将前锋安吉尔·罗德里格斯，但他来自赫塔菲，34 岁，并且只在第四场比赛中首发。另一个签约费尼诺，他有很多事情要做才能给人留下深刻印象。尽管有巴塔利亚和巴巴，但中场看起来相对强大。就拿久保来说，本赛季他是否真的能胜任这项任务。

阿拉维斯是更好的球队，在主场强势对抗弱旅。阵容会有变化，尤其是在中场，因为这与面对豪门完全不同。或许这次新签的Loum可以首发？除非他们最重要的球员何塞鲁离开俱乐部——有传言说转会到塞维利亚——否则他们有大约 48%的概率在主场赢球 。
