This takes a quick look at some interesting statistics heading into what is a loaded weekend in LaLiga with Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atletico, Sevilla and Real Betis all in action.
Week 24 in LaLiga will see some explosive matches across Spain this weekend with Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, Real Betis, Atletico Madrid and Sevilla in action.
Fans will be treated to the best of football matches in LaLiga, but the standout fixtures will see Atletico Madrid host Sevilla and Real Betis at home to defending champions Real Madrid.
Now, let us take a quick look at some of the most interesting statistics that make this weekend’s round of matches one to look out for in LaLiga.
Here are three (3) of those statistics for week 24 in LaLiga this weekend.
- 2 - The number of teams with more goals than Girona
This particular LaLiga statistic should surprise you given Girona are not part of the big teams in LaLiga. But the club has scored 36 goals in 23 matches, an average of over 1.5 goals per game.
Girona have been one of the most entertaining teams in LaLiga season with the big two, Real Madrid and Barcelona the only teams to have scored more goals than them this season.
The White and Reds, however, will go into this weekend's 11th on the table after they have conceded 35 goals in LaLiga, one of the statistics the visitors must improve on when they take on Getafe on Saturday.
- 7 - Antoine Griezmann's goals this season
Former Barcelona boy Antoine Griezmann has scored just seven goals this season for Atletico Madrid in LaLiga.
Diego Simeone and his teammates will be looking for the Frenchman to add to that tally in LaLiga when they host Sevilla at the Wanda Metropolitano.
This is the case because whenever Griezmann scores for Atletico, they go on to win. His statistics read seven (7) goals and seven (7) assists this season in LaLiga.
- 11 - number of matches Barcelona have gone without losing at Camp Nou
When it comes to LaLiga statistics this season, Barcelona are head and shoulder above everyone else.
This week, Xavi Hernandez and his men will welcome Valencia to their fortress and home, Camp Nou. The Catalans have won nine (9) and drawn two (2) of their 11 matches at home in La Liga this season.
Los Che will have to be one a special form to do what no other team has done to Barcelona in LaLiga this season at home.
Bonus Statistics in LaLiga
- 2 - The number of matches Real Madrid have lost the last 14 visits to Benito Villamarin
Carlo Ancelotti and his Los Blancos lost 1-0 at home to Barcelona in the semifinal and will be looking to bounce back to winning ways when they take on Real Betis away.
Real Madrid will go into the game confident of a win after just two defeats in the last 14 games at the Benito Villamarin.
That is one of many statistics in favour of Ancelotti’s men but the Italian will be wary of the home side who are ambitious and in form, with three consecutive wins in the last three LaLiga games.
- 2 - Number of goals scored by Martin Braithwaite last weekend
Another ex-Barcelona star Martin Braithwaite carries the weight of his side in the LaLiga.
Braithwaite scored two goals last time to inspire RCD Espanyol to a 2-1 win over Mallorca.
Espanyol will be hoping to see him continue that form when they travel to Real Valladolid.
