LaLiga Betting Opportunities: Matchday 22 Games To Bet Big this Weekend
Real Sociedad -125 vs. Celta Vigo +390
When: Feb. 18
Where: Anoeta Stadium, San Sebastián, Gipuzkoa, Spain
Time: 8:00 am ET
TV/Streaming: ESPN+, ESPN, fubo TV, DirecTV Stream
Sociedad and Celta have similar forms in the sense that both show 2 wins, 2 losses, and a draw. The home team chalk in this won their last 3-2.
Celta lost their last. But Celta played the much better team in Atletico Madrid. Not only that, but Atletico beat Celta by 1 goal. The road team for sure can pull off the upset win.
Soccer Pick: Celta Vigo
Real Betis -162 vs. Real Valladolid +460
When: Feb. 18
Where: Benito Villamarín Stadium, Seville, Spain
Time: 10:15 am ET
TV/Streaming: ESPN+, ESPN, fubo TV, DirecTV Stream
Both teams are in decent form. Road squad Real Valladolid shows 2 wins, a draw, and 2 losses in their last 5. The road team in this drew 0-0 versus Osasuna in the last.
Real Betis won their last match, beating Almeria 3-2. Before besting Almeria, Betis had lost 2 straight to Celta and Barcelona. Betis should win but the odds are underlaid. It’s best to consider backing the draw to cash.
Soccer Pick: Real Betis
Mallorca +224 vs. Villareal +145
When: Feb. 18
Where: Estadi Mallorca Son Moix, Palma de Mallorca, Spain
Time: 12:30 pm ET
TV/Streaming: ESPN+, ESPN, fubo TV, DirecTV Stream
Villareal has a win and 4 losses in their last 5. The road team’s current form is cause for concern because, often, Villareal is one of the top teams in LaLiga’s Primera Division.
Mallorca has won 2 with 3 losses in their last 5. The home team in this hosts Villareal after an 0-2 loss to Sevilla in the last. Mallorca beat Villareal in the last head-to-head. No doubt, Villareal can win but Mallorca’s odds make the home team an overlay.
Soccer Pick: Mallorca
Osasuna +340 vs. Real Madrid -123
When: Feb. 18
Where: El Sadar Stadium, Pamplona, Navarre, Spain
Time: 3:00 pm ET
TV/Streaming: ESPN+, ESPN, fubo TV, DirecTV Stream
Real has won 3 of their last 4 with a loss. The loss happened versus Mallorca while the victories were at the FIFA Club World Cup.
Osasuna has drawn 3 times, won once, and lost once in their last 5. Osasuna heads into this off a pair of draws. Real should be the chalk. But the home team offers much better odds than it should. Osasuna can win.
Soccer Pick: Osasuna
Atletico Madrid +111 vs. Athletic Bilbao +270
When: Feb. 19
Where: Metropolitano Stadium, Madrid, Spain
Time: 12:30 pm ET
TV/Streaming: ESPN+, ESPN, fubo TV, DirecTV Stream
Both squads are playing well enough to attract action. Atletico Madrid has won 2-of-3 with a draw. Bilbao has won 3-of-4 with a loss.
In the last head-to-head, Atletico beat AB. But in the head-to-head before, it was Bilbao that prevailed. Atletico takes on AB on their pitch, which gives them an edge. Backing the home team makes sense.
Soccer Pick: Atletico Madrid
Barcelona -2.5 +132 vs. Cadiz +2.5 -170
When: Feb. 19
Where: Camp Nou, Barcelona, Spain
Time: 3:00 pm ET
TV/Streaming: ESPN+, ESPN, fubo TV, DirecTV Stream
On Thursday, Barcelona takes on Man United in a Europa League match. Wether Barca wins or not, it won’t affect this play.
Barcelona blasted Cadiz 4-0 in the last head-to-head. Beating a team by 3 goals isn’t easy. But laying -170 on Cadiz, even if we’re getting 2.5 goals, isn’t prudent. Barcelona to cover is the play.
Soccer Pick: Barcelona -2.5
