Barcelona will revel in the opportunity to apply immense pressure by extending the gap at the top of the standings, while Atletico Madrid and Real Sociedad both look to continue their push to sustain top four.
Friday 10 February
Cadiz 18/10 | Draw 9/4 | Girona 16/10 (22:00)
Cadiz opened the last gameweek away from home with a 4-1 defeat at Athletic Bilbao, now they crack open LaLiga on home soil where they’ve yet to lose in seven consecutive fixtures. Girona play into the hands of their opponents, having managed only one win the entire season – 2-1 vs. Elche – which is not even worth considering. Back Cadiz.
Saturday 11 February
Almeria 19/10 | Draw 47/20 | Real Betis 29/20 (17:15)
Real Betis were on the wrong end of a seven-goal thriller when they lost 4-3 to Celta Vigo. Manuel Pellegrini’s men have yet to win back-to-back games on the road this season, and with stalwart centre-back Luiz Felipe facing a three-match suspension after picking up a straight red, life looks a little more difficult. Almeria’s home ground is keeping them afloat and the recent 3-1 smashing of Espanyol will not go unnoticed. Back the home win.
Sevilla 17/20 | Draw 22/10 | Mallorca 4/1 (19:30)
Sevilla suffered a heavy 3-0 defeat to log leaders Barcelona while Mallorca pulled a 1-0 rabbit out of the hat against Real Madrid last time out. While the form line suggests Mallorca, Sevilla have not tasted defeat at the hands of the visitors since 2013. Back Sevilla.
Valencia 2/1 | Draw 22/10 | Athletic Bilbao 29/20 (22:00)
Caretaker coach Voro Gonzalez failed to inspire any hope to Valencia as they endured their fourth straight defeat across all competitions. They sit just one point above the relegation zone, while Athletic Bilbao knock on the door of European positions. The table doesn’t lie – the away team win.
Sunday 12 February
Getafe 37/20 | Draw 19/10 | Rayo Vallecano 37/20 (15:00)
19th-placed Getafe hope to find their first victory in six attempts when they welcome Rayo Vallecano to the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez. The odds as tight as can be, and the head-to-head is unwaveringly in favour of the home side – Vallecano have failed to win away in five meetings. Get on the Home Win/Draw Double Chance at 4/10.
Celta Vigo 5/2 | Draw 21/10 | Atletico Madrid 13/10 (17:15)
After a poor end to the first half of the season, Celta Vigo have secured 10 points of a possible 15 since the start of the new year. Now, they face a tough task in breaking down Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid who they have struggled to get the better of in recent times as well as losing 4-1 earlier in the season. Get on the value that Madrid offer.
Valladolid 33/20 | Draw 43/20 | Osasuna 37/20 (19:30)
This is going to be a laboured and arduous affair. Recent results for both sides have been razor thin – four of Valladolid’s last five fixtures have seen just one goal, while Osasuna’s last six have been under 2.5 goals. Back the low scoring markets.
Villarreal 28/10 | Draw 11/4 | Barcelona 9/10 (22:00)
A LaLiga big name affair closes out the action on Sunday when log leaders Barcelona travel to the Yellow Submarines’ home. However, since the departure of Unai Emery, things have not been smooth sailing. The odds on Xavi’s Barca are too enticing to pass up.
Monday 13 February
Espanyol 47/20 | Draw 2/1 | Real Sociedad 27/20 (23:00)
Monday night football sees top four shock Real Sociedad attempt to further stake their claim at a Champions League spot with a win over relegation-threatened Espanyol. However, Sociedad’s failure to score against Real Madrid and Valladolid respectively does apply a little more pressure. Still, I would get behind the away side.
TREBLE @ 11/1
Cadiz Win 18/10
Atletico Madrid Win 13/10
Barcelona Win 9/10
