plenty of upsets in la liga so far. all the promoted teams got the result. i wonder if one of them is going to do leicester. malaga are terrible under team by the way. they struggle to score goals although osasuna are spoilers in any case. i remember them from few years ago busting my coupons as well as taking points of both barcelona and real madrid. these lower clubs players are like street hustlers especially now they have exposure in the primera. they will be playing on heroin to prove themselves.

La Liga: Espanyol - Malaga

Malaga are in the Ajaccio mode and rarely cut loose on the road, however, Juande Ramos is back in charge and got them playing some attractive football in pre season, when they scored a lot of goals, they struggled to break down an Osasuna side who came with only a point in mind last week and had to settle for 1-1, but the overall performance certainly offered promise and I do expect to see a more adventurous approach from them this season. That will go double and treble for Espanyol who opened with a 6-4 loss (!) at Sevilla, tough to score four on the road and not get a point, but I doubt they will abandon their attacking principles and will instead take heart from their offensive performance. The signings of Leo Baptistao, Pablo Piatti, José Manuel Jurado and José Antonio Reyes hardly hinted at a team who were going to sit back in any game, they are looking to strengthen defensively before the window closes, but right now look full of goals at one end and leaky at the other, I suspect they will be fun to watch all season and odds for this to provide some of that entertainment look on the big side.

The first round of games saw 40 goals , there were only 32 on opening day in the previous two seasons combined, the increased and more equal distribution of television money in Spain has meant increased pressure on teams to entertain and I feel that last week might not just be a blip, but an ongoing trend. There could mean value for us in early season if that is the case and before the oddsmakers fully catch up.

Just a bad start for Atletico. I'm sure they'll be able to adjust and catch up with the rest.

Mate, I hope it will be so. Without Atletico in the race for the title, LA Liga will be the place where we will see the fight  between Real Madrid and Barcelona. Two clubs with the best players on the world. Atletico with Diego Simeone, entries passion in fight for the title.
