Santiago Bernabeu Stadium: The second round of matches in the new La Liga season gets underway with two matches on Friday, with Mallorca at home to Villarreal and newly-promoted Las Palmas visiting Valencia's Mestalla Stadium.

Villarreal's poor pre-season form carried on into their opening game as they lost 2-1 to Real Betis. Quique Setien's side is clearly missing players such as Samuel Chukwueze and Nicolas Jackson, whose sale has robbed them of pace and goals in attack.
