La Liga stats and tips
Cadiz v Granada - Win / Draw / Win - home win
Bad form can be tough to shift, but that's what's required of Granada CF boss Alexander Jesús Medina Reobasco on Friday. His side face Cadiz having lost each of their last 3 La Liga matches.
Almeria v Osasuna - Both Teams To Score & Result -
If you like tipping goals and picking a winner, then the upcoming clash between Deportiva Almeria and Osasuna might well be the one for you. J. Mel Pérez's side have lost 12 games this season in which both clubs have got on the scoresheet. That's the highest number in La Liga.
Valencia v Mallorca - Over / Under 1.5 Goals - under
There are some football fans that enjoy the tactical battle of a low-scoring game, and they should probably keep an eye on Valencia CF v Mallorca. Each of Mallorca's last 3 La Liga matches has had under 1.5 goals, and that sequence may go on for some time yet.
Barcelona v Las Palmas - Double Chance - home win or draw
Trekking across the width and breadth of the country to support your club can be a pretty dispiriting experience at times, and Las Palmas’s long-suffering follows know that better than most right now. Their team, led by Francisco Javier García Pimienta, has now failed to win any of their last 5 La Liga matches, and the clouds hardly look like parting against FC Barcelona at Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys on Saturday night. Backing opposition manager Xavier Hernández Creus to extend the run by inspiring his side to anything other than a defeat can be bet on at best odds of 1.07.
Celta v R.Vallecano - Over / Under 3.5 Goals - under
There have been 3 goals or less in every one of Rayo Vallecano's last 14 La Liga outings. As they go head to head with C. Giráldez González's Celta de Vigo at Balaídos on Sunday, those in the know should be backing another low-scoring affair.
Girona v Real Betis - Win / Draw / Win - home win
Bad form can be tough to shift, but that's what's required of Real Betis boss Manuel Pellegrini on Sunday. His players face Girona having lost each of their last 3 La Liga matches.
Alaves v R.Sociedad - Double Chance - away win or draw
Alaves have found something of a bogey team in Real Sociedad in the La Liga in recent years. The two teams have played on 5 occasions since 2020, and Real Sociedad have gone unbeaten in them all. Sunday's game at Mendizorroza could be a really difficult one for Luis Garcia & co.
Real Madrid v A.Bilbao - Double Chance - home win or draw
Every now and then we get a golden spell in football, and it has now been a while since since Real Madrid’s merry supporters watched their team lose in La Liga. Carlo Ancelotti’s squad is now unbeaten in 23 games, and he'll be telling them that they can keep going against Athletic Bilbao at Santiago Bernabéu on Sunday night. Best value odds of 1.17 are available to back Real Madrid to avoid defeat yet again.
Villarreal v A.Madrid - Double Chance - home win or draw
Marcelino Toral and his Villarreal team have found a handy habit of taking something from pretty much every La Liga fixture they play. They're unbeaten in 9 in La Liga now, so Diego Simeone and his Atletico de Madrid team will have their work cut out if they're to get the win at Estadio de la Cerámica on Monday.
Granada v Valencia - Win / Draw / Win - away win
Valencia CF would never admit to aiming for anything but victory in a match, but clearly KO's members believe they're capable meet those lofty aims right now, as 7 of them are backing R. Baraja Vegas and his team to earn away win as they visit Granada CF at Nuevo Los Cármenes in La Liga on Saturday afternoon. Some may question that, as home wins or more common, but that's where the consensus lies. If you felt the urge to go with the crowd, 2.80 is about the best value you’ll find.
