Saturday 14 January
7/4 Real Valladolid | Draw 85/40 | Rayo Vallecano 13/8 (13:00)
The first game on Saturday sees Real Valladolid host Rayo Vallecano. Pacheta’s side are languishing down in 15th place in the table and have suffered three defeats in a row. Rayo, on the other hand, suffered their first defeat in eight games with a 2-1 loss at home to Real Betis. The Vallecas side will seek to bounce back immediately and register their first win of the new year. Back the visitors to win at 13/8.
11/8 Girona | Draw 9/4 | Sevilla 2/1 (15:15)
Sevilla climbed out of the relegation zone after a 2-1 win over Getafe on Sunday, and Jorge Sampaoli’s side will look to make it back-to-back wins as they continue their surge up the table. As for Girona, they needed a late goal to earn a 2-2 draw away at 19th-placed Espanyol last weekend. This is one of those games you really want to be avoiding. But if you must have a go, back the visitors on the Win/Draw Double Chance at 11/20.
21/20 Osasuna | Draw 2/1 | Mallorca 16/5 (17:30)
Saturday’s penultimate game sees Osasuna and Mallorca square off at the El Sadar Stadium. The hosts are winless in their last three matches in LaLiga, losing back-to-back games against Barcelona and Real Sociedad followed by a goalless draw away at Athletic Bilbao. Mallorca, on the other hand, have won three of their last four games in the league and won this fixture 2-0 last season. The away win is available at 16/5 – that’s simply too good to pass up.
7/5 Real Sociedad | Draw 21/10 | Athletic Bilbao 85/40 (20:00)
Real Sociedad entertain Athletic Bilbao at the Reale Arena in Saturday’s final fixture. The Basque side have won their last six competitive matches and will look to continue their good form. Bilbao, on the other hand, will look to get back to winning ways following back-to-back 0-0 draws against Real Betis and Osasuna. Ernesto Valverde’s team are also seeking to snap a five-game winless run on the road. In what should be a tight affair, I’m backing Sociedad to capitalize on home advantage.
