La Liga Predictions This Weekend: Every Game Called + Best Bets

Dimitri has the Premier League covered elsewhere on the site, so this one is mine. I spend most of my week in spreadsheets, and La Liga is where the numbers and the bookmaker prices disagree most often. Below are my score predictions for all ten games, the best bet in each and a three-leg acca. All times are CET.

Real Madrid at home remain the most reliable home side in the division: they have won every home league game this season and average more than two goals a game at the Bernabéu. Prediction: Real Madrid 2-0. Best bet: Real Madrid to win to nil at around 11/8 (2.38).

Barcelona away are a different proposition. They create plenty but concede chances on the break, and their away games have averaged over three goals. Prediction: a 2-1 away win. Best bet: Barcelona to win and both teams to score at around 12/5 (3.40).

Atlético Madrid at home to a bottom-half side is the shortest price of the round, and rightly so — they have kept clean sheets in six of their last eight at home. Atlético to win to nil at around 6/4 is the bet.

My favourite price of the weekend is the draw in the Basque derby. These games are historically tight, five of the last seven meetings have finished level or been decided by one goal, and the draw at around 12/5 is bigger than it should be.

Quick calls for the remaining fixtures: Sevilla 1-1 (both teams to score), Villarreal 2-1 (home win), Real Sociedad 1-0 (under 2.5 goals), Real Betis 2-0 (home win), Getafe 0-1 (away win) and Valencia 1-1 (draw).

Real Madrid to win, Atlético Madrid to win and Barcelona to win. Three short prices combined come to roughly 6/1, and all three match my score predictions.
