Quiniela matchday 11: no LaLiga, a Clásico at the Camp Nou

Ten Segunda games, four from Liga F and Spain v Czechia as the Pleno al 15: here's the matchday 11 coupon and where the traps are.

Quiniela matchday 11 comes with a quirk that changes how you should fill in the coupon: there isn't a single top-flight game on it. The international break has put LaLiga EA Sports on hold until mid-October, so this week's fifteen fixtures come from the Segunda División, Liga F and the Nations League. The Pleno al 15 is Spain v Czechia on Saturday 3 October at Oviedo's Carlos Tartiere, and slot 11 is the first women's league Clásico ever staged at the Camp Nou.

Glance at the names and it looks like a low-key week. It isn't. There are three genuine top-of-the-table clashes, two in the second tier and one in Liga F, plus a Barcelona v Real Madrid that pits the leaders against their closest pursuers. This is a week where gut feeling won't get you far, and a look at the standings before each pick pays off.

Quiniela matchday 11: all 15 fixtures

Here is the coupon in its official order. Kick-off times, results and the prediction window are on the matchday 11 page.

Segunda División: three games that shape the table

Ten of the fifteen picks come from the second tier, so this is where the week is won or lost. Castellón top the table on 19 points (six wins and a draw) and host Ceuta after a 2-0 win at Leganés. Right behind them are Eibar on 18 points and six straight victories, and they open the coupon away at Albacete.

• Almería v Burgos: third against fourth. The standout Segunda fixture and the one that leaves least room for a banker.
• Girona v Mallorca: fifth against sixth, two sides who were in the top flight last season.
• Castellón v Ceuta: the leaders at home. On paper the clearest candidate for a 1, but nobody has a win guaranteed in this division.
• Albacete v Eibar: Eibar's run counts for a lot, though seven wins in a row is a rare thing at this level.

The women's Clásico at the Camp Nou, slot 11

Barcelona v Real Madrid, matchday six of Liga F, kicks off on Sunday 4 October at 17:00 CEST at the Spotify Camp Nou. It will be the first women's league Clásico at the stadium, which is still operating at a reduced capacity of around 62,600 while building work continues. The famous precedent came in March 2022, when 91,553 fans packed the Camp Nou for the same fixture in the Women's Champions League quarter-finals.

Barcelona arrive as leaders, with Real Madrid their closest challengers. The other three women's slots are worth a closer look too: third-placed Madrid CFF host Athletic Club in another clash near the top, Deportivo welcome Atlético Madrid to Riazor, and Tenerife take on Logroño at the Heliodoro.

Pleno al 15: Spain v Czechia at the Carlos Tartiere

This week's Pleno al 15, the bonus line where you predict the actual score, is Spain v Czechia on matchday three of the Nations League. It's on Saturday 3 October at 20:45 CEST at the Carlos Tartiere in Oviedo, live on La 1 and DAZN in Spain. It is the world champions' second home game since lifting the trophy, following the 4-1 win over Croatia in Seville, where Lamine Yamal scored twice and Marc Pubill and Nico Williams added the others.

Czechia travel to Oviedo pointless after losing to Croatia and to England, who won 2-0 in Prague through Anthony Gordon and Harry Kane. Spain haven't lost a competitive game since a 2-0 defeat to Scotland in Glasgow in March 2023, and their competitive record against the Czechs reads five wins and two draws. In the 2022-23 Nations League the sides drew 2-2 in Prague before Spain won 2-0 at home.

For the Pleno al 15, that points to Spain scoring (1, 2 or M, which stands for three or more) and a 0 or 1 for Czechia as your base. The catch is rotation: Spain play four games in eleven days and travel to Croatia in Split on Tuesday 6 October, so Luis de la Fuente may well share out the minutes.

Quiniela matchday 11 prediction: three things to weigh up

1. Save your doubles for the head-to-heads. Almería v Burgos, Girona v Mallorca and Madrid CFF v Athletic are the most open games on the coupon.
2. Go easy on the home wins in Segunda. It's a tight division where draws come thick and fast; two or three Xs in a column is perfectly normal.
3. In the Clásico, think about your league. If everyone backs a Barcelona 1, covering it with a 1X double can protect you without going off-script.

If you fancy adding a bit of spice to a week without LaLiga, you can set up a prediction league with friends on quiniPrats: everyone makes their picks for the matchday and the table updates itself. Here's how it works, in case the Camp Nou Clásico feels like the right game to kick it off.
