"We want to be ourselves and dictate the tempo of the match," highlighted Sara Monforte ahead of the encounter. RCD Espanyol go into the fixture in 12th place in Liga F Moeve with 5 points and on the back of three consecutive matches without defeat. Patri Ojeda, suspended after being sent off last matchday, joins an injury list that includes Romane Salvador, Carla Morera, Anna Torrodà — who is recovering from an ACL injury —, Naima García and Paula Arana. Standing in their way will be Deportivo Alavés who, despite being newly promoted, have 6 points on the board from two wins and three defeats. "They're a side that do things very well and have a very clear idea of what they want to do," said Andrea Esteban, the coach of the Basque outfit, regarding this weekend's opponents. Kumba Brima, sent off in their last fixture, is a major blow to the visitors' attack. Celia Ochoa is also unavailable, while Amaya García has returned after winning the U20 World Cup.

At the same time, Sevilla FC, currently 9th with 6 points, will be looking to return to winning ways after falling to a 1-0 defeat against SD Eibar in their previous match. "The goal we conceded came down to a momentary lapse in concentration. Matches like this are decided by fine margins, and football rewards the team that puts the ball in the back of the net," explained David Losada following the defeat. The coach will be without Eva Llamas and Rosa Márquez. Meanwhile, Marc Ballester's side have 7 points to their name, although they head into this clash after two consecutive matches without a win or a goal. María Valenzuela, having served her suspension, could return to the goal for the Catalan side, who will be missing Antonia Canales, Izarne Sarasola and Paula Sánchez for the visitors. Last season, the two teams met twice in the league competition, playing out a draw (0-0) in the reverse fixture before a 5-1 victory for FC Barcelona in the second half of the season. 

The Riazor stadium will put on its finest look to welcome Atlético de Madrid. The Galician side approach the clash in 13th position in Liga F Moeve with 5 points after recording one win, two draws and two defeats at the start of the league campaign. "We're keen to pick up our first three points at Riazor and make up for the draw in our last game," stated Alberto Rodríguez ahead of the fixture. The Deportivo coach will be boosted by the return of U20 World Cup champions Ainoa Gómez and Marisa García, who will be honoured prior to kick-off. Andrea Tarazona, Eva Alonso and Carla Castiñeyras are the three absentees for the hosts. Standing in their way are Atlético de Madrid, who occupy 8th place with 6 points. David González's side come into this off the back of a 3-2 defeat against Athletic Club last matchday. Luany is suspended and will miss the fixture. Silvia Lloris and Jenni Hermoso are unavailable, while Natalia Peñalvo and Celia Segura return after winning the U20 World Cup.
