Re: La Liga - April 7-9 Some information and tips: Real Zaragoza - Barcelona Zaragoza will be without key players Luis Garcia and Apoño (suspended) and Mateos (injured/suspended), and defenders Pablo Álvarez and Maurizio Lanzaro are questionables. Zaragoza is improving under new coach Manolo Jiménez, they're more solid, and they're starting to believe that the "miracle" of salvation is possible. There will be another tough game, Zaragoza will be fighting and maybe Jimenez will start with 5 defenders. Barcelona is tired, some players like Xavi are under physical troubles, the calendar is so busy, maybe Thiago will start I think. Messi has always played well at La Romareda, but the other attackers of Barcelona are in poor form. I think will not bet in this game. Getafe - Sporting Gijon Some controversy with Gijon Coach Javier Clemente and the press. Sporting will be without Sebastián Eguren altough Alberto Botía will return from his suspension. Getafe is strong team at home, in last two won Osasuna and Valencia. Clemente would put another midfielder (Ayoze) and sit down striker David Barral. Referee will be Fernando Teixeira Vitienes, not the worst referee in LFP, altough I will take "Sending off" if it's 4's or superior. Betis - Villarreal Well, I think this match is "no bet", simply Betis is a offensive team that has a weak defense, and Villarreal with Lotina is a strong defensive team who like to run quickly at the counter. Betis are recovering some players, like new signing Paulao who is playing well, Nelson and Jorge Molina. Could be 0-0 or could be 3-2. Mallorca - Granada Unders a lot. I see a 0-0, 1-0, 2-0, 1-1, 0-1 game. Both teams are very solid defending, and Granada is playing better outside (5-3 defeat at Barcelona, 0-1 won at Santander), Mallorca lost 0-2 to Barcelona but won 2-1 Atlético Madrid. Mi pick would be under 2,5 goals at 1.91 (Pinnaclesports). Also I would lay Mallorca, I think 1.90 price is too short, in a game which could finish 0-0 or 1-1. Real Madrid - Valencia After "resting" against APOEL, Madrid will play against struggling Valencia at home. With Di María recovered, and other players like Callejón and Granero entering the rotation, I think that this could be 3-1, 4-1 to Madrid. Valencia plays today a tough, crucial game in EL against AZ Alkmaar, they will be tired at Sunday. Madrid will be without suspended Sergio Ramos (Pepe-Varane would be the centre backs).

Re: La Liga - April 7-9 There are three teams in the league who are in great difficulty and we must take advantage. Sporting and Racing do not know what to play, and are clearly candidates for relegation. Zaragoza, who has made a good last few games, faces the all-powerful FC Barcelona. Based on the foregoing, and given the low fees, I go with a multiple bet. Getafe @1.65 / Barcelona @1.22 / Malaga @1.45 = @2.92 Interwetten. Stake 3/10. Also, for the most cautious, we can go with a system bet 2/3 to @2.06. Stake 5/10. Good luck to all.

Good to see some new posters. :ok

Re: La Liga - April 7-9 Maybe it is not wise, but I will have a treble of Mallorca 1X, A. Madrid X2 and Espanyol 1X @1,96 (local) Espanyol may not win (although I expect them to), but it will be really strange for me if they lose. Sociedad is bad away from home for years. Atletico is firing almost every team that comes across them. They have had numerous games recently, so a draw is also possible. Mallorca is good at home, they put a lot of pressure against the opposition and I don't believe that Granada can win this. Bilbao BTS is a good possibility too.

Re: La Liga - April 7-9 Barcelona at 1.14 away from home at a struggling but improved Zaragoza side at a crucial juncture of their season ? This is the sort of match where Barça have been seen to struggle in La Liga this season, and which could well cost them the title. Value on the home side in my eyes. Zaragoza +2 at 2.20 for me.

Re: La Liga - April 7-9 Athletic Bilbao -Sevilla desperately need a win in order to keep their European hopes alive, whereas Sevilla are also looking for a victory after winning their last three league games. With both sides firing on all cylinders at the moment, we could see goals galore at San Mames. Our prediction: Over 2.5 goals

Re: La Liga - April 7-9 Malaga-Racing Santander 1 -1EH 2.00 5/10 Not really a gift this one from the bookies, considering that I need a win by 2 goal or more from Malaga in order to go to cash, and probably this is last chance of Santander to reamin in the relegation battle, because for me with a loss here, they are with almost both feet in segunda. However I think that somebody has to go down to Segunda division before or after, and so I think that one is surely Racing Santander after Gijion. Malaga played good and lose against Betis. They know that Valencia should lose today, infact I am waiting also the response of that match to go with this.Also they have to look behind because Levante and Atletico can leapfrog them or recuperate important points. Malaga with a win tomorrow, will advance on 3 spot incase of loss or draw of Valencia , and I think it is very important to take that 3 spot ! I am strongly believing in this. It is a misfortune that they will not yet have Toulalan , Baptiste , Caballero and Joaquin, also santander has 3 missings, and they cannot come to have a draw at this point of the championship, and counters from malaga will be lethal

Re: La Liga - April 7-9 Bilbao don't need the win to keep their euro hopes alive! They are already through to the EL having reached the final of Spanish Copa where they will meet Barcelona. Assuming they loose that one they are still qualified for the Europa League next year as runners up! Sevilla has more to play for and comparing the recent league form of these two, backing Sevilla in some form is nice value even though bookmakers cut the prices on the quests here. Bilbao are likely to rotate players and keep their main players fresh and injury free for the upcoming semifinals in EL. Athletic are without a win on their last five in Primera while Sevilla are on a great run of form winning last three, scoring 9 goals in the process. Coce, Reyes, Perotti and Trochowsky are unavailable for Sevilla but they still have the quality all around the pitch with likes on Navas, Manu Del Moral, Rakitic and Negredo. Sevilla is underrated here imo and at 3,10 they are still worth a punt. I took them @ 3,25 with 365 with medium stake :hope

Mallorca - Granada Unders a lot. I see a 0-0, 1-0, 2-0, 1-1, 0-1 game. Both teams are very solid defending, and Granada is playing better outside (5-3 defeat at Barcelona, 0-1 won at Santander), Mallorca lost 0-2 to Barcelona but won 2-1 Atlético Madrid. Mi pick would be under 2,5 goals at 1.91 (Pinnaclesports). Also I would lay Mallorca, I think 1.90 price is too short, in a game which could finish 0-0 or 1-1.

Surprise surprise. 0-0. I will put stakes and more accurate analysis after the good start here.

Re: La Liga - April 7-9 Málaga - Racing Santander If Málaga win, they will achieve the third position. They're playing good but the team looks soft in key moments. Racing are struggling, they don't win since January 15th. Toulalan, Joaquín, Baptista, Juanmi and Willy Caballero are sidelined for Málaga. Toño, Picón and Acosta will be out for Racing. Expected line-ups: Málaga: Kameni, Gámez, Mathijsen, Weligton, Monreal, S. Fernández, Demichelis, Cazorla, Eliseu, Isco, Rondón Racing Santander: Mario, Francis, Bernardo, Torrejón, Cisma, Bedia, Colsa, Diop, Adrián, Munitis/Babacar, Stuani. I think Racing team is very poor. Málaga should score at least 2 goals. They lost against Betis last week but Málaga played better and had the better chances. Market: Scorers Pick: José Salomón Rondón to score at any time Price: 2.05 Bookie: Unibet/Paf Stake: 4/10 Reason: Rondón scored last 4 of 5 at home. He only walk off without a goal last week against Betis. I think that Málaga will score 2/3 goals, and they will generate a lot of chances, Racing will put the bus and they will be defending all the time. If Málaga scores +2 goals, there's many possibilites of Rondón scoring at least one.

Shame, 3-0 he didn't score, replaced by Duda in the second half.
