Three rounds are behind us and the first gaps are already visible in the standings. FC Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid look like the most convincing teams, Real Madrid is keeping pace, and Real Sociedad is sending a clear signal that this season they could be a serious contender for the top spots. Matchday 4 (September 20–21) promises to be truly intense with the Madrid derby and Barcelona’s big test in Seville on the horizon.
Saturday, September 20
Espanyol – Athletic Club
Both teams need to bounce back. Espanyol, after a goalless draw with Tenerife, is still searching for efficiency, while Athletic after a shocking home defeat to Deportivo needs stability. Who will break the drought first?
Granada – Eibar
Granada snatched a point in Alhama, while Eibar drew with Badalona. Both sides are playing cautiously, but this match could be a springboard to their first major success. Granada fans are hoping for a breakthrough at home.
FC Badalona Women – DUX Logroño
Logroño is still hurting after a 0–4 loss to Barcelona. Badalona showed solidity in their draw with Eibar. This is a clash of mid-table contenders, whoever recovers better mentally will take the points.
Real Sociedad – Levante UD
Sociedad is flying – a 3–0 win over Sevilla and the sparkle of Aiara Agirrezabala show the Basques are growing in strength. Levante, after a painful 0–4 defeat to Atlético, needs a response. All signs point to Anoeta once again hosting an attacking show from the home side.
Sunday, September 21
Alhama – Costa Adeje Tenerife
A battle between teams from the lower half of the table. Alhama and Tenerife both drew last round and are still struggling to find finishing power. It’s a classic “six-pointer”, every mistake could prove very costly.
Madrid CFF – Atlético de Madrid (DERBY)
A blockbuster and a derby in one! Atlético demolished Levante 4–0 in style, with the Luany–Ajibade duo looking unstoppable. Madrid CFF, after a 1–2 loss to Real Madrid, needs a rebound – and a derby is the perfect occasion. The favorites are the “Rojiblancas,” but in matches like this anything can happen.
Sevilla – FC Barcelona (with Ewa Pajor)
Barcelona shows no mercy – a 4–0 over Logroño, with goals from Bonmatí and Pajor, who are already forming one of the deadliest duos in Europe. Sevilla, after being crushed by Sociedad, must defend far better or risk another harsh footballing lesson. All eyes are on Ewa Pajor – the Pole has quickly blended into the Catalan attack and is still hungry for more goals.
Real Madrid – Deportivo de La Coruña
The “Merengues” are steady, sealing the derby against CFF with a 2–1 win. Now they face Deportivo, who have already shown they can upset favorites. If Real maintain focus and tempo, they should secure another three points, but underestimating the opponent could backfire.
Players to Watch
- Aitana Bonmatí (Barcelona) – top scorer with 5 goals and relentless creativity.
- Ewa Pajor (Barcelona) – 4 goals and instant chemistry with Bonmatí and Pina.
- Luany (Atlético) – 3 goals and the spark that drives the “Rojiblancas” attack.
- Aiara Agirrezabala (Real Sociedad) – leader of the Basque offense, already on 3 goals.
Summary
The fourth round of Liga F 2025/26 brings high stakes and fireworks. Barcelona and Atlético look unstoppable, Real Madrid is staying close, and Real Sociedad has emerged as a genuine dark horse. The Madrid derby promises drama, Sevilla faces the impossible task of stopping Barcelona’s firepower with Pajor in top form, and Real Sociedad is ready to showcase their attacking flair again. At the other end of the table, struggling teams like Alhama, Tenerife, and Logroño will fight desperately for survival points.
All signs point to a weekend full of decisive clashes, where the early title favorites can strengthen their positions and the chasing pack must respond.
