Almeria - Barcelona 0:0 (1st half)
After the painful loss against Manchester United and the expulsion from the Europa League, Barcelona returns to the league with a comfortable game on paper.
The leader already counts seven consecutive victories in the league, during which she conceded only one goal.
Almeria, on the other hand, conceded 6 goals only in the previous round where they lost 6:2 at Girona and trailed 4:0 at halftime.
Xavi will miss Ousmane Dembele as well as the injured Federer and after the elimination from Europe he can focus on the league, where Barca can open ten points at the top thanks to Real Madrid's draw in the derby against Atlético.
Barcelona won and mostly defeated their opponent in the last nine meetings since the 2:2 almost 13 years ago.
Robert Lewandowski, Fran Torres and Gabi came up front, Eric Garcia in the center of defense and Jordi Alba and Sergi Roberto in the guest's 11.

Athletic Bilbao - Girona 3:2
Third win in four games for the improving newcomer, second overall this season away and first in history at San Mames, but the story is Athletic Bilbao, who became the first team in La Liga to score two own goals in two different games in the 21st century (it also happened in April 2018 in a derby against Real Sociedad) .
Victor Tsygenkov set up Elesh Garcia in the fourth minute and in the 19th minute came the first own goal, made by Oscar de Marcos.
The left defender Yuri Zimek in the 35th minute, but in the extra time of the half, Mikal Vesega hit his own goal.
After the break, Bilbao mostly gained funds and did not even once threaten the frame, until the Girona defense came to meet them with a comedy of errors in the 87th minute and the goalkeeper Paulo Gaszaniga "cooked" in the area for the veteran Raul Garcia who broke a four-month drought.
Despite this, Girona have risen to the top and are now the third best team in the league in terms of goals scored - only Barcelona and Real Madrid have scored more.
