It's early days in the Primera Division and the teams are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
