In the previous round of the Spanish La Liga, we saw just 15 goals in ten games, which is pretty inefficiently for the La Liga standard, so the fans expect to see much more action in the Round 31 set from Friday, March 6th, 2018, until Monday, March 9th, 2018. Likewise, there are some hot streaks you should look after, so let’s see which are teams to bet on in the Spanish La Liga this weekend.
LA LIGA HOT STREAKS
- Deportivo La Coruna is winless for 15 games in a row
- Celta Vigo is unbeaten in six straight home games
- Valencia won four matches in a row
- Espanyol is winless in five consecutive games on the road
- Real Madrid won five games in a row at home
DEPORTIVO LA CORUNA vs. MALAGA
3-Way: 1: Deportivo La Coruna +100; X: +245 Draw; 2: Malaga +305 at BetDSI Sportsbook
Spread -0.5: Deportivo La Coruna +100; Malaga -115
Total +2.5: Over +120; Under -145
This is a huge game for both these sides, as only the winner will keep the chance to survive in the Spanish La Liga. Malaga is sitting at the bottom of the La Liga table with 17 points, three points less than Deportivo La Coruna in the 19th spot, and eleven points behind Levante in the safe 17th spot. Hereof, it is a tricky bet if you go with the hosts here after 15 consecutive games without a victory, while both teams should be looking to score, as it is the only way to get three points from this clash.
MY PICK: Both Teams to Score YES (+100)
CELTA VIGO vs. SEVILLA
3-Way: 1: Celta Vigo +115; X: +250 Draw; 2: Sevilla +235 at BetDSI Sportsbook
Spread -0.5: Celta Vigo +115; Sevilla -130
Total +2.5: Over -120; Under +100
While Sevilla sits at the seventh spot of the La Liga table that leads to the Europa League next season, Celta Vigo is six points behind in the ninth spot, so the hosts have to try to win this game and cut the deficit between them and Sevilla. The visitors will be surely thinking of their second leg match of the Champions League Quarter-Finals against Bayern Munich, and it is a nice chance for the Sky Blues to maintain their streak on the home soil. However, I think we could easily see some goals on both sides of the field, so I’m backing the over on this one.
MY PICK: Over 2.5 Goals (-120)
VALENCIA vs. ESPANYOL
3-Way: 1: Valencia -205; X: +330 Draw; 2: Espanyol +620 at BetDSI Sportsbook
Spread -1: Valencia -115; Espanyol +105
Total +2.5: Over -110; Under -110
Valencia has almost secured the place in the Champions League next season, and after four wins in a row, they could have some problems with Espanyol this Sunday, although the visitors are winless in five straight games on the road. In their first head-to-head meeting of the season, Valencia has beaten Espanyol 2-0, but they were lucky to keep the net intact, so Espanyol will be looking for a payback at Mestalla, while they’ve suffered just one defeat in the previous five rounds. However, for those who like to go with a streak, there is another information – Valencia has won the last four head-to-head duels.
MY PICK: Espanyol AH -1 (+105)
REAL MADRID vs. ATLETICO MADRID
3-Way: 1: Real Madrid -133; X: +280 Draw; 2: Atletico Madrid +385 at BetDSI Sportsbook
Spread -0.5: Real Madrid -135; Atletico Madrid +120
Total +2.5: Over -125; Under +100
Los Blancos are playing exceptionally well in the last couple of weeks, winning six games in a row in all competitions, including a brilliant 3-0 victory over Juventus in the first leg of the Champions League Quarter-Finals last Tuesday. Before they welcome Juve on next Wednesday, Los Blancos will face their city rivals at Santiago Bernabeu, looking to prolong the five-game winning streak on the home soil.
On the other side will be Atletico Madrid who’s also playing in a great form recently, winning eight out of their last ten games overall, so the fans are expecting a true spectacle this Sunday in Madrid.
Everyone who admires Diego Simeone’s work will bet on the end of Real Madrid’s streak, but it is quite ungrateful to go against Los Blancos when they are playing in a terrific form, so maybe it is better to try with both teams to find the net here, despite Atleti’s defensive approach.
MY PICK: Both Teams to Score YES (-125)
