Spain vs Slovakia

Posted on September 2, 2015 by Madrid Guide

On September 5th all of Spain will look to Oviedo and to the Nuevo Carlos Tartiere stadium, because that is where Spain will receive Slovakia for the Euro 2016 qualification match.

What makes this interesting is that Slovakia comes to this match with 6 wins in a row, leading the group with 18 points, while Spain comes with 15 points and one loss (against Slovakia in Bratislava). So, Spain will for sure want to win this match, but maybe Slovakia will be able to surprise everyone again and get at least one point in this match?

The match is as mentioned to be played in Oviedo which is far away from Madrid, so if you are not able to go there to watch the match yourself, then you can still watch Spain vs Slovakia online. The match will be broadcasted online on Sky Sports, and if you want to watch it online on Sky Sports, then you can do so on NOW TV which broadcasts all of Sky Sports events online.

Posted on August 24, 2015October 3, 2016 by Madrid Guide

This weekend, at August 29th, Real Madrid will have their premiere at home in Madrid in the 2015-2016 La Liga season. They had a kind of poor opening with a 0-0 result in their match against Sporting Gijon, but as they get to play in front of their amazing audience things will for sure turn out differently this weekend.

It is no secret that we are big Real Madrid fans here at www.guidemadrid.net, but we of course cheer for Atletico Madrid as well, as long as they are not playing against Real Madrid. On Saturday Real Madrid will play against Real Betis, a team which also got one point in their opening match of the season, and after their second match they will for sure still just have one point, as Real Madrid will get an easy win this weekend (hopefully).
