Relatively slim picking this weekend for must-see matches. Here are a few quick picks for Saturday:
Saturday, Sept 24
Spain, Sevilla-Valencia 12pmET (GolTV): Valencia is atop La Liga, undefeated after drawing Barcelona at home mid-week, in an exciting game they very well could have won (or lost, actually). They’ll have to be careful to avoid a letdown, with another relatively tough fixture, going down south to take on Sevilla.
Germany, Bayern Munich-Leverkusen 12:30pmET (ESPN Deportes, ESPN3.com): After last season’s turmoil, Bayern Munich are back, riding high in Bundesliga–in fact, there’s already talk about whether anyone will challenge them in the league. Leverkeusen is one of the few sides that might.
Netherlands, Ajax-Twente 2:45 p.m. ESPN3.com: We choose another Eredivisie Ajax match, this weekend against another of the sides that could challenge for the Dutch title.
Spain, Barcelona-Atletico Madrid 4 p.m. ESPN Deportes, ESPN3.com: Barcelona have been shaky in the back, and new addition Falcao has been fantastic up front for Atletico.
