FRIDAY
RAYO VALLECANO v CELTA DE VIGO – Click here to bet
Rayo Vallecano are currently 12th on the log and unbeaten in their last 4 matches although they have drawn their last 3.
Celta de Vigo sit 1 position above them in 11th with two wins, two losses and a draw in their last 5 matches.
Looking at goal stats 5 of the 8 Rayo Vallecano home matches have delivered profits for over 2.5 goal backers and 6 of the 8 Celta de Vigo away games have reached the 3 goal mark.
These sides met twice in LaLiga last season with both games finishing goalless and the last 6 matches between these sides has seen no more than one team find the back of the net.
Vallecano are 17/10 with the draw 21/10 and Celta de Vigo 19/10.
Given 5 of the last 7 matches between the sides has finished as a draw and Rayo Vallecano’s last 3 games have been stalemates it looks the value play on what should be a tight game.
BET: The draw at 21/10
SATURDAY
SEVILLA v VALENCIA – Click here to bet
Sevilla are currently 14th on the log and in December they took 4 points out of a possible 12. Their last game was a 4-2 away defeat to Real Madrid.
Valencia, in the relegation zone, sitting 19th on the log with just 2 wins in 18 starts. They had a busy December playing 5 matches, but only coming away with 2 points. Valencia have yet to win on the road this season.
Valencia surprised in this fixture last season winning 2-1 and in the reverse fixture at Valencia the sides played out a goalless draw.
Sevilla are 1/1 with the draw 95/40 and Valencia 3/1.
Both sides are struggling at the moment, but there are signs that Sevilla could be turning the corner at home and I think they will be too strong for Valencia.
BET: Sevilla win at 1/1

SUNDAY
ATLÉTICO MADRID v OSASUNA – Click here to bet
Atlético Madrid are currently 2nd on the log with just 1 defeat in 18 matches and they have won their last 7 League matches in succession, including beating Barcelona 2-1 on the road before the Christmas break.
Osasuna are 10th on the log, but they haven’t won in their last 6 matches with 2 losses and 4 draws. Their last game was a 2-1 home defeat to Athletic Bilbao.
Osasuna stunned Atlético Madrid 4-1 in this fixture last season to break a run of 11 consecutive defeats against their opponents.
Atlético Madrid are predictably short favourites here at 1/2 with the draw 9/2 and Osasuna priced at 9/1.
I can’t look past a comfortable home win and will back Atlético Madrid to win by more than 1 goal.
BET: Handicap, Atlético Madrid -1.5 at 19/20
