Midweek games in Serie A & La Liga

I just noticed there's a full round of fixtures in Serie A and La Liga on this Tuesday - Thursday.

Is this normal or a consequence of the strikes which delayed the start of the season?

Anyway, a nice surprise, looks like there's a few interesting games coming up sooner than I thought :king:

Edit. And looking ever more closely there's a full round of games in Ligue 1, too x)
Wtf, I didn't know this was supposed to happen x)

I don't know why it's on, but I don't think it is a good thing for Milan. Third game in eight days is never good for a team with such tired and aging legs. No wonder there are reports circulating that Nesta will be dropped..

Good for fans though Smile

It's usual for both La Liga and Serie A to have midweekd games around the 3-4 matchday....It's been happening for 3-4 years now......EPL and Bundesliga start way earlier so these leagues catch up by playing one round during midweek
