Madrid, April 7 (SocialNews.XYZ) Matchday 28 of La Liga comes after the Copa del Rey semifinals and before Real Madrid play their Champions League quarterfinal first leg at home to Chelsea.
Here are some things to look out for this weekend, reports Xinhua.
Good moment for Luis Garcia to debut as Espanyol coach
Former Espanyol striker Luis Garcia was named as the replacement for Diego Martinez at the club earlier in the week and he takes over with Espanyol third from bottom of the table and in real danger of relegation.
The 42-year-old's previous job was coaching Real Madrid's C-team in the fifth tier of the Spanish game and the club have taken a leap of faith in naming him as Martinez's replacement, given his lack of top-flight experience.
Luis Garcia's first game in charge is on Saturday at home to Athletic Bilbao, who lost their Copa del Rey semifinal after extra time to Osasuna on Tuesday night after a game they should have won.
Espanyol will hope their rivals are tired and 'depressed' after their midweek disappointment and should see this as a chance for a vital win.
Big game for Betis and Cadiz
Both Betis and Cadiz lost big games last weekend, with Betis going down 1-0 to Atletico Madrid, while Cadiz lost a relegation dogfight 2-0 at home to Sevilla.
While Betis still have a good chance of a top-four finish this season, especially with Real Sociedad losing gas, Cadiz need every point to escape the danger zone and are likely to sit deep and look to grind out a point.
Betis have plenty of options in attack, despite the loss of Sergio Canales and Nabil Fekir, and will do most of the attacking in a big game for both sides for different reasons.
