Check out the odds and ratings for the Spanish La Liga games coming up this week. The action starts tonight with Barcelona taking on Elche. @betcatalog, it looked like you played it safe by backing that Atletico Madrid win but Diego Simeone's side let you down big time! Who saw that 2-0 win for Levante coming?! @chris666, I was with you questioning the Granada price but the 3-2 win for Huesca shows the bookies obviously knew something! @StefanBB, you were right to back the clean sheet win for Sevilla too. It might not have been the correct score but you were close enough to come away pleased. What predictions do you all have for this round of matches?

Sevilla vs Barcelona

After losing in the Champions League eight-finals first leg against Dortmund, the hosts got back on the winning track. Sevilla celebrated a 2:0 away to Osasuna and established themselves in the top four. This weekend, Julen Lopetegui’s side has the chance to improve their position on the standings if they beat Barcelona. Sevilla enjoys a six-win streak in La Liga, and the hosts don’t want to stop there. Jules Kounde and the lads have been unbeatable in the back in the previous five rounds. Sevilla and Atletico Madrid are now the best defensive teams in the league, with only 16 goals conceded. The Andalusian team is very confident at its ground with eight victories from 11 games. Sevilla allowed only seven goals to their visitors this season, and they want to keep up the pace.

Barcelona booked an important 3:0 win over Elche on Wednesday, and the away side keeps its title dreams alive. Ronald Koeman’s side is five points behind Atletico Madrid, but the top-placed team has one game in hand. The visitors are on a good streak in La Liga, winning five out of the previous six rounds. However, hiccups like the one last weekend against Cadiz should not happen anymore if Barcelona wants to be competitive in the title race. Leo Messi and the lads are still the most productive team in the competition, but their defense should be more confident. Barcelona managed to get back home with a win from the last six outings, but they conceded in almost all of those. The visitors need to be focused, otherwise, their title chances will be minimal.

Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction

Sevilla seems to be more consistent compared to their rivals, and we don’t believe they will lose this game. Moreover, they already celebrated a 2:0 win over Barcelona a bit more than three weeks ago in Copa del Rey.

Goals Market Prediction

The home side is very disciplined in the back, and despite Barcelona’s attacking potential, this could be a tight game. We think it could remain under a 2.5 margin.

Sevilla AH +0 @ 2.35

Under 2.5 FT @ 2.20

Correct score 1:1 @ 7.00

Although both clubs are not in perfect condition, we expect a very interesting match. Villarreal, the harder it loses, the harder it wins. I expect Atletico Madrid, with the returns of its key players, to find a way to regain its lost points difference.

Real Madrid vs Real Sociedad

Despite severe injury troubles, Real Madrid enjoys excellent form lately. Los Blancos celebrated five times in a row in all competitions. They head to this game after booking a narrow 1:0 victory away to Atalanta in the Champions League. Zinedine Zidane’s side is only three points behind Atletico Madrid, however, their rivals have one game in hand. Ferland Mendy and the lads managed to keep the clean sheet in the last four matches, and they are very hard to crack. On the other hand, the team did well in the final third, although they haven’t scored more than twice on the previous six occasions. Real Madrid spilled too many points at the home ground, and they don’t have the right for more mistakes. Their visitors managed to get back home with a win three times. Real wants to keep up where it left off and pick another three points.

After an excellent start into the season, Real Sociedad slipped down from the top four. Still, they can secure the Europa League spot, and their recent sun is pretty encouraging. The away side hasn’t lost five times in a row in La Liga. However, Manchester United knocked out the Basque side from Europa League with a 4:0 aggregate win. Imanol Alguacil’s team celebrated in the previous three La Liga rounds, and they are seven points behind the fourth-placed Sevilla. Isak Alexander and the lads improved their finishing lately, and Sociedad scored 41 goals so far. On the other hand, the defense is doing a very good job, conceding only 20 times. Real Sociedad puts pretty decent displays on the road, as they got back home with a victory on six occasions. The visitors will search for a surprise in this game that could continue their unbeatable record.

Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction

Both head coaches will have selection troubles, but still, Real Madrid is the favorite ahead of this clash. We believe the hosts will meet the expectations and book another important victory.

Goals Market Prediction

Both sides have been pretty tight in the back, and we shouldn’t expect to see an efficient game. In our opinion, this match should stay under a 2.5 margin.

Real Madrid to win @ 1.95

Under 2.5 FT @ 1.90

Correct score 2:0 @ 9.00

Real Madrid

They play so well this season that they have 64% winning percentage, ranking the third in the table of the League. There are only six points separating them from the first, Atletico Madrid. They are looking good for a shot at the title.

 

Real Sociedad

They are sitting the fifth place in the table of the League. They are good at both offensive and defensive, with 1.71 scoring goals and 0.83 conceding goal in average of this season so far. And they will concentrate on the League after being knocked out of UEFA Europa League.

 

Verdict:

Real Madrid take the upper hand over Real Sociedad in past head-to-head clashes with a record of 6W-1D-3L. Real Madrid go on a run at present with a five-match winning streak. And they are full of ambitions. So Real Madrid will possibly win.
