Alaves vs Real Madrid

Alaves has been in poor form lately as they snatched just a point from the last four rounds. They lost three games in a row in La Liga, while things didn’t go better in Copa del Rey either. Alaves got outclassed by the Segunda side Almeria in a 5:0 defeat last weekend. Meanwhile, Sevilla brought a victory from Vitoria-Gasteiz, leaving Alaves only a point ahead of the relegation zone. Things might negatively change for the home side as Elche has two games in hand. Abelardo’s side has trouble converting their chances into goals, as they scored only 17 goals in 19 rounds. Alaves also needs to improve its home record, as they celebrated only once on the previous five occasions. Real Madrid comes to town, and could they get a tougher challenge?

Real Madrid goes to this game after a humiliating defeat in Copa del Rey by minnows Alcoyano. Although Zinedine Zidane rested star players, with such a rotation, the defending champions should have won that one easily. Instead, they went to the extra time and failed to a shocking defeat before the penalty shootout by a ten-men rival. That game is just a culmination of Los Blancos’ troubles throughout the campaign. Karim Benzema and the lads celebrated only once in the last five matches in all competitions. They are already seven points behind Atletico Madrid, with Los Colchoneros having one game in hand. Real Madrid’s attempt to win the Super Cup came out to be unsuccessful, as they lost to Athletic Bilbao in the semi-finals. To make things worse, the visitors cannot count on Nacho, Sergio Ramos, and Rodrygo, while Zinedine Zidane has been tested positive for Covid-19 and won’t be on the bench.

Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction

Neither of these two teams can be proud of their recent performances. Real Madrid needs to show the winning character and go for three points in this game despite all troubles. We believe they will meet the expectations and get back on the winning track.

Goals Market Prediction

Their games at Estadio Mendizorrotza have been pretty efficient lately, and just one of the last six clashes remained under a 2.5 margin. Real Madrid players should search for a comfortable win to boost their confidence, and we expect to see at least three goals in total.

Real Sociedad

They play so well in the beginning of this season. It seems that they are fatigued recently. They have been winless for three matches until they win over Cordoba in last game of Spanish Copa Del Rey. Now they are sitting the fifth place in the table of the League.

 

Real Betis

They have a four-match winning streak in various League and Tournaments recently, with 9 scoring goals and 2 conceding goals. Even if they play as traveller, they are too competitive to be ignored. At present, they rank the eighth in the table of the League with 26 points.

 

Verdict:

Real Sociedad get 4W-4D-2L from Real Betis in the past. The Asian handicap first odd is Real Sociedad -0.5. Although Real Sociedad rank higher than Real Betis in the table of the League, Real Betis are in better form recently. So the victory is tending to the guest team.

 

Real Sociedad VS Real Betis

Pick: Real Sociedad -0.5

Atletico Madrid vs Valencia

It has been an almost perfect campaign for Atletico Madrid so far. Diego Simeone’s warriors suffered only one defeat in the top flight, and they won 14 times in 17 rounds. Los Colchoneros are seven points clear of the defending champions Real Madrid, and since they have one game in hand, they will get the opportunity to increase the advantage. The only failure this season was the elimination from Copa del Rey by the lower-league side Cornella. Stefan Savic and the lads have been rock-solid in the back as Atletico conceded only seven goals. The hosts booked six straight victories in La Loga, and it seems nobody can stand their way. Although they were 1:0 down against Eibar last Thursday, Luis Suarez’s brace brought them new three points. Atletico allowed just one point to their visitors at Wanda Metropolitano, and they don’t have the intention to be more generous.

On the other hand, Valencia faces many troubles this season. They have financial difficulties, and that reflects on the team’s performance. The visitors sit in a disappointing 14th place, and they are only three points ahead of the relegation zone. Although Maximiliano Gome and the lads are doing a pretty good job in front of the oppositions’ net, their defense allowed too many goals. However, Carlos Javier Garcia’s side managed to remain undefeated three times in a row, which might be an encouraging signal for the away fans. Nevertheless, they had a lighter schedule, as Valencia faced Cadiz, Valladolid, and Osasuna. The visitors put decent displays away from home, as they suffered four defeats in nine outings. However, this one is going to be their toughest challenge during the current campaign.

Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction

Atletico Madrid didn’t show signs of insecurity after losing against minnows Cornella, and they quickly got back on the winning track. We expect them to continue in the same fashion and believe the hosts can book one more victory in a row.

Goals Market Prediction

The home side’s defense is almost unbeatable at home, as it allowed just two goals to their visiting rivals. They kept the clean sheet two times in a row at Wanda Metropolitano, and we expect to see another disciplined performance from Atletico.

There is a real sense that we are seeing the peak of Simeone right now. The Argentine has Atletico running like a well-oiled machine and we can not see Valencia spoiling that. Valencia has many weaknesses that the champion can take advantage of to get another victory

Athletic Bilbao vs Getafe

Athletic Bilbao doesn’t enjoy their La Liga campaign very much, but the latest developments could give them a massive boost of confidence. The home side lifted the Super Cup trophy, while they were also successful in the Copa del Rey. Nobody saw them among contenders for the Super Cup glory, especially when the draw saw them facing Real Madrid in the semi-finals. However, Marcelino Garcia Toral’s side celebrated a 2:1 victory and booked the clash against another Spanish giant, Barcelona. Again, they were huge underdogs, especially since Barcelona struggles this season, and winning this competition would lift their confidence. Nevertheless, Inaki Williams and the lads showed their character, and after equalizing in the 90th minute, they fought the victory in the extra time. The hosts should take advantage of this positive momentum to improve their La Liga standings. They are currently in 13th place, being only four points ahead of the relegation zone. They have been playing pretty decently at the home ground, and if they keep up the pace, they will escape from the danger zone.

After the elimination from the Copa del Rey, Getafe booked two very important victories in La Liga. The visitors beat Elche on the road and picked up another three points against Huesca on their soil. These two wins saw them advancing to the 11th spot, and they are two points ahead of their upcoming rivals. Joseph Bordalas Jimenez’s side plays very disciplined football this season. Although they have lots of difficulties in converting chances into goals, Getafe is one of the best defensive teams in the league. Nemanja Maksimovic and the lads also improved their away performances lately, as they managed to get back home with two wins from the previous three outings. The visitors want to continue the winning streak and go to the top half of the table.

Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction

It is going to be a very tight clash, as both sides have been playing well lately. However, we believe Athletic Bilbao is a slight favorite, and the hosts should secure all three points from this one.

Goals Market Prediction

The home side hasn’t been too efficient this season, while the visitors have been involved in many inefficient matches this season. Therefore, this game should remain under a 2.5 margin, just like their previous five head to head clashes.

Athletic Bilbao to win @ 2.30

Under 2.5 FT @ 1.40

Correct score 1:0 @ 5.50
