WEDNESDAY
Barcelona v Osasuna – Click here to bet
Barcelona are currently 4th on the log and they saw a 3 match winning streak ended when they lost 5-3 at home to Villarreal in their last start. That was their second home defeat in their last 3 home games.
Osasuna are 12th on the log and they have only lost 1 of their last 7 matches. They drew 1-1 at Sevilla last time out and prior to that they beat Getafe 3-2 at home. They have been battling to get results on the road and have taken 2 points from the last 15 they have played for.
Barcelona won their last 4 head-to-head League meetings against Osasuna and I am expecting them to focus on defence and to keep a clean sheet, something they have done in this fixture for 2 years running.
Suggested Bet: Osasuna under 0.5 goals at 1/1

Atlético Madrid v Rayo Vallecano – Click here to bet
Atlético Madrid are currently 3rd on the table and they are coming off back-to-back victories, 2-0 at home to Valencia and 1-0 away to Granada.
Rayo Vallecano are 13th on the log and they have only won 1 of their last 10 matches. They played out a goalless draw away to Real Sociedad last time out and their last 6 matches would have delivered profits for under 2.5 goal backers.
Atlético Madrid beat Rayo Vallecano 7-0 on the road earlier in the season and this fixture finished 1-1 last season.
On current form I can’t see past a comfortable Atletico Madrid victory and will back them to win by more than a goal.
Suggested Bet: Handicap, Atlético Madrid -1.5 goals at 27/20
THURSDAY
Getafe v Real Madrid – Click here to bet
Getafe are currently 10th on the log, but they haven’t won in their last 3 starts and are coming off back-to-back defeats, 3-2 away at Osasuna and 2-0 at home to Rayo Vallecano. They have only lost once at home this season and that was against Vallecano.
Real are 2nd on the log, 1 point behind surprise leaders, Girona, but with a game in hand. They have taken 8 victories and 2 draws from their last 10 starts and are on a 5 match winning run including beating Las Palmas 2-1 on the road last time out.
Real Madrid have lost 1 and drawn 2 of their 11 away matches this season and they have conceded just 8 goals in these 11 games.
Real Madrid have won their last 3 League matches against Getafe and all of them, somewhat surprisingly, by only 1 goal.
Los Blancos are 4/7 to win the match and I can’t argue with those odds and I am going to go for a correct score play in a game where nothing is really standing out for me.
Suggested Bet: Correct Score, 1-2 at 15/2
