This week Spain - Primera Division matches
|
 Small Numancia against huge Barcelona. David versus Goliath in a town that is synonymous for heroic defense and suffering in a distant historical period. The town of Soria will have the chance to welcome one of the two big clubs in Spain after few years in the second division.
Sunday will be holiday in Soria
For the citizens of Soria, small town with the population of 35,000, the arrival of Barcelona is a big event. The stadium can accommodate 14,000 fans and it will be full. This team’s promotion to Primera is the return of top division football into the continental parts of Spain. If we do not count Madrid and from last season Valladolid, all the teams are from the coast, or the cities near to the sea. Zaragoza got relegated last season, and now Numancia, who is between Madrid and Zaragoza, has to defend the honour of continental Spain. This will be a tough task for the team that will certainly put up a fight. The quality of the team is not so bad, it looks that the financial situation is way healthier and they managed to bring some talented players, such as Antonio Guayre. One thing is certain, that the fans will enjoy this match.
This seems like an easy game
Barcelona will have to take this game seriously. They were surprised in the return leg of the Champions League qualifications by Wisla and lost the game. The Polish are similar to Numancia in terms of quality. These kinds of matches at the start of the league against very motivated smaller clubs, who have nothing to lose, are very difficult for the big clubs. Barcelona is a big club, and the money and privileges their stars receive, bound them to win these games regardless of the circumstances. Great midfield playmaker Deco is gone, while Ronaldinho is finally history. The big question is whether Keita, Toure, Alves and Hleb will be able to adapt quickly to Guardiola’s style of play. If they want to start their journey towards the title, first stop is Soria, and ‘Barca express’ must not stay there.
Betting verdict
Home team will certainly put up a fight, but the visitors will have the upper hand. An honourable defeat shouldn’t make the home fans sad, as Barca is far from their level. If the visitors do not take this game seriously, it could cost them. Just to remind you, Barcelona played three times in Soria in the top division, and all three games were ended with a draw. And Numancia even won one Cup game. So Barca be careful. Still away win is the most likely result.
