Rayo Vallecano are unbeaten after 2 matches having upset Real Sociedad on the road in Week 1 and then drawing 0-0 against Getafe also away from home in their second match.
Barcelona have opened with a 100% record, beating Valencia 2-1 on the road and Athletic Bilbao 2-1 at home.

Rayo Vallecano 15/4
Draw 3/1
Barcelona 8/11
Rayo Vallecano proved something of an obstacle for Barcelona in recent times and have won 2 and drawn 1 of the last 3 games played at this ground.
Vallecano are on offer at 21/20 in the double chance market, but I prefer both teams to score, yes, at 8/10.
Both teams to score, YES, at 8/10

WEDNESDAY
ATHLETIC BILBAO vs VALENCIA
Athletic Bilbao are currently sitting 15th on the table taking 1 point from their opening 2 matches. They drew 1-1 at home to Getafe and then lost 2-1 to Barcelona away.
Valencia are bottom of the log after losing 2-1 at home to Barcelona and 3-1 on the road to Celta de Vigo.

Athletic Bilbao 6/10
Draw 3/1
Valencia 5/1
Three of the last four head-to-head matches have seen 3 goals or more scored and given both teams defence are looking leaky I am pleasantly surprised to be getting 11/10 over 2.5 goals.
11/10 over 2.5 goals
ATLÉTICO MADRID vs ESPANYOL
Atlético Madrid are sitting 3rd on the table in the early-going with 4 points from a possible 6. They drew 2-2 at Villarreal on the opening weekend and then hammered Girona 3-0 at home last time out.
Espanyol are one from the bottom of the table and are without a point after 1-0 defeats away at Valladolid and at home to Real Sociedad.

Atlético Madrid 7/20
Draw 4/1
Espanyol 17/2
Both fixtures between these sides ended in draws last season, but I am expecting Atlético Madrid to justify short-priced favouritism and to win this game by more than a goal.
Handicap, Atlético Madrid -1.5 goals at 1/1
