FRIDAY
LAS PALMAS v ATLÉTICO MADRID – Click here to bet
Las Palmas are currently 10th on the log and they won 3 of their last 4 matches. Last time out they beat Almeria 2-1 on the road and at home this season they have only tasted defeat once in 5 matches.
Atlético Madrid are 3rd on the table and they are on a 6 match winning streak. They beat Alaves 2-1 at home last time out and their last away game was a 3-0 victory over Celta de Vigo in their penultimate start. Overall on the road this season they have lost just once in 5 matches conceding only 3 goals and scoring 12.
Atlético Madrid have kept clean sheets in 4 of their 5 away matches and I am backing them to add another one to the list.
Suggested Bet: Las Palmas Total Goals under 0.5 at 23/20
SATURDAY
CELTA DE VIGO v SEVILLA – Click here to bet
Celta de Vigo are currently 18th on the log with just 1 win in their opening 11 games. They are coming off back-to-back defeats away at Girona and at home to Atlético Madrid.
Sevilla are 14th on the log after a disappointingly slow start to the season in which time they have only won twice in 10 matches. They haven’t won in their last 4 games, have drawn 3 matches in a row most recently 2-2 away at Cadiz.
The last 3 matches between these sides have finished with the points been split and the draw once again seems the value with two sides who are both struggling for form.
Suggested Bet: The draw at 5/2

REAL SOCIEDAD v BARCELONA – Click here to bet
Real Sociedad are 5th on the log and they are coming off a 2-2 away draw to Rayo Vallecano last time out. Their last home game was a 1-0 victory over Mallorca and they are undefeated in 6 matches at home this season.
Barcelona are 4th on the table and they suffered their first defeat of the season last time out been beaten 2-1 at home by title rivals, Real Madrid. They are undefeated in 5 matches on the road this season, drawing 3 and winning 2.
Digging deeper into goal stats of these teams, Real Sociedad home matches have a 50% strike rate for over 2.5 goal backers and Barcelona’s 5 away games have seen 3 goals reached in 4 of the matches.
Real Sociedad are 22/10 for the victory with the draw 5/2 and Barcelona on offer at 5/4.
Five of the last 6 head-to-head meetings have had 3 goals or more in them and I think there could be end-to-end action in this one.
Suggested Bet: Over 2.5 goals at 9/10
SUNDAY
REAL MADRID v RAYO VALLECANO – Click here to bet
Real Madrid are top of the log with 9 wins and 1 draw in their opening 11 matches. They beat Barcelona 2-1 away in their last start and prior to that drew 1-1 at Sevilla. Real Madrid have a 100% record at home this season with 12 points from 4 matches in front of their own fans.
Rayo Vallecano are 7th on the table, 11 points behind Real Madrid. They are undefeated in their last 7 matches, but 5 of those games have been draws including a 2-2 draw at home to Real Sociedad last time out. Their last away game was a 1-0 victory over Las Palmas and overall on the road this season they have only lost once in 6 matches.
Real Madrid are short-priced 3/10 favourites to win the match with Real Vallecano priced at 17/2 with the draw at 5/1.
I am expecting a comfortable win for Real Madrid and will back them on the handicap.
Suggested Bet: Handicap, Real Madrid -1.5 goals at 5/6
