After a three-month hiatus due to the pandemic of the new Corona Virus pandemic (Covid-19), the Spanish football league matches will resume again from tomorrow, Thursday, where the Seville Derby match will be held, to be the first of the remaining 110 matches to be held in 35 days.

Barcelona occupies the lead with 58 points, two points ahead of second-placed rivals Real Madrid, and Barcelona will visit Real Mallorca next Saturday.
Barcelona can take advantage of the services of Uruguayan superstar Luis Suarez, who had undergone knee surgery in January and predictions at the end of his season, but the stoppage of competitions due to Corona, gave him the opportunity to compete again during the season.
It was announced a few days ago that striker Suarez had regained fitness again, but Barcelona coach Kiki Sitten stuck, and declared: "Suarez is doing well, but we must avoid the risk."
This may mean that Martin Braithwaite will be a key participant in the attack alongside Lionel Messi and Antoine Griezmann.
Messi raised fears of Barcelona fans a few days ago when he missed the exercises due to a slight muscle problem in the right leg, but he returned to the exercises again.
And Sittin said last Sunday: "Messi is not the only player who missed a training session because of some pain."
He added: "It was a simple problem and we controlled it, he is fine and he will not face any problem (in front of Mallorca)."
In the case of Barcelona being exposed to a cup against Real Mallorca, which had sparked a surprise at its stadium by beating Real Madrid last October, Real Madrid and its coach Zinedine Zidane will strive to seize the opportunity.
Real Madrid will meet Eibar next Sunday, and although Real Madrid is the host for the match, it will not take place at the "Santiago Bernabeu" stadium, the stronghold of the royal team in the capital Madrid.
The Santiago Bernabeu stadium is undergoing repairs and will not be available to host the six games Real Madrid are supposed to embrace this season.
Real Madrid will play its matches at the stadium "Alfredo Di Stefano", which is based on the matches of the second-class team in the club "Real Madrid Castilla".

In Crusader during a friendly match against Arsenal last summer.
The struggle is fierce for the third and fourth places, which qualify for the Champions League, between the teams of Seville, Real Sociedad, Getafe and Atletico Madrid, who are ranked third to sixth, respectively.
The twenty-eighth stage competitions will open tomorrow, Thursday, with Sevilla, who is coached by coach Julen Lopetegi, with Real Betis in the Seville derby match.
