StarTimes promises bumper Easter football fiesta
• Copa del Rey, La Liga, Bundesliga Return After World Cup Qualifiers
Exciting time awaits football fans during the Easter Holiday as top European fixtures will be aired live on StarTimes.
Football returns to Spain this weekend after the international break with nine games in La Liga and the final of the 2020 Copa del Rey.
The Copa del Rey final between local Basque rivals, Athletic Bilbao and Real Sociedad will be played at 8.30 p.m. today. It will air on the outfit’s World Football channel. The channel was recently moved to basic and smart bouquets to make premium sports content available to all.
Real Sociedad have a slight doubt over the fitness of key midfielder Mikel Merino. Athletic are without any injuries for the game but defender Inigo Martinez and goalkeeper Unai Simon played 90 minutes for Spain on Wednesday night.
Tomorrow’s big match in La Liga will see league leaders Atletico Madrid face a difficult visit to fourth-placed Sevilla in one of the toughest tests they will face between now and the end of the season.
Atletico’s lead has been cut to just four points over Barcelona, and if Real Madrid win at home to Eibar, they could be just three points off the top by the time their city rivals kick-off.
In Bundesliga, the title race could be decided today as RB Leipzig face a Bayern Munich side at 5:30pm without star man Robert Lewandowski in a blockbuster clash.
With eight games to go in the league, Bayern have a four-point lead over Leipzig, who this season are looking like a team that can actually win their first Bundesliga title.
