LaLiga Odds: Cadiz +220 vs. Sevilla +138

LaLiga Odds: Real Madrid -2.5 +137 vs. Real Valladolid +2.5 -176
When: Sunday, April 2 at 10:15 am ET
Where: Estadio de la Ceramica, Villarreal, Spain

Barcelona beat Real in the road chalk’s last. Barca, for all intents and purposes, sewed up the LaLiga Primera Division title with the victory.
Real, who still has a shot to win the Champions League, projects to take out their frustrations on overmatched Valladolid. The road dog has lost 3-of-5. 2 of the 3 losses were by multiple goals. Covering a 2.5 handicap isn’t easy, but El Blanco will be fired up in this.

Where: Estadio de la Ceramica, Villarreal, Spain

Both teams won their last match. Sociedad beat Elche 2-0. Villareal blasted Osasuna 3-0.

Villareal is the home team, which gives the favorite the edge. Also, the odds on Villareal make them a slight overlay. Back the home squad to cash.

Betis beat Mallorca in their last. The road team played well, but the victory won’t set them up for success in this. Atletico has won the last three matches. It’s never fun laying -170. However, that’s the best play in this contest.

Top Soccer Betting Picks for the Week – February 11^th Edition

Wednesday, Feb. 13

UEFA Champions League

• Tottenham Hotspur vs Borussia Dortmund

Tottenham’s only a point behind EPL leader Manchester City. On Wednesday, they play for a different, more prestigious championship, when they take on Dortmund in the Champions League. After an embarrassing loss to Crystal Palace, Tottenham has run off 3 straight wins, all in English Premier League play: 2-0 against Watford, 1-0 versus Newcastle, and 3-1 against Leicester City.

Dortmund hasn’t been nearly as sharp. Borussia has played to 3 straight draws. They’ll find it difficult to keep the Hotspur from racking up at least 2 goals in this. That should be enough for the win.

Soccer Betting Prediction: Tottenham 2, Dortmund 0

• Ajax Amsterdam vs Real Madrid

Ajax is a solid team. However, 3 matches ago they lost 2-6 to Feynoord Rotterdam. There’s no reason for a team as quality as Ajax to lose by so many goals.

Real’s finally got it together. One of the most famous squads in any league in soccer, Real Madrid has beaten Alaves 3-0, drawn with Barcelona, and beaten Atletico Madrid 3-1 in their last 3 matches. They’ll take this contest versus Ajax by 2 goals.

Soccer Betting Prediction: Real Madrid 3, Ajax 1

Saturday, Feb. 16

La Liga Primera Division

• Rayo Vallecano vs Atletico Madrid

Atletico left the pitch in their battle against Real wondering if they have any shot at the La Liga Championship. That’s how badly Real made them look.

Atletico does have 23 points, which puts them in a tie with Barca, Real, Sevilla, Getafe, and Betis atop the La Liga Primera Division. They should add to their point total on Saturday facing one of the worst teams in La Liga.

Atletico gets back on track with a massive victory.

Soccer Betting Prediction: Atletico Madrid 4, Rayo Vallecano 1

• Barcelona vs Real Valladolid

Barcelona dominated Sevilla 6-1 four matches ago, but since then they’ve played to 3 straight draws: 2-2 versus Valencia, 1-1 against Real Madrid, and 0-0 versus Bilbao.

Valladolid isn’t much worse than Bilbao, but Barca should get back on track. It’s only a matter of time before they provide a crazy goal outburst. That time might be on Saturday.

Soccer Betting Prediction: Barcelona 3, Valladolid 0

Previous Betting News

Over the past few years, La Liga has been the domain of just 2 teams, with Barcelona and Real Madrid splitting titles. During that time, the arguments agreed about whether Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo was the best player in the world, with both of those great players serving as the engines that drove their respective teams. At the end of last season, we saw the end of an era, with Ronaldo making their move to Italy to ply his trade with Juventus, while Real Madrid also lost the services of Zinedine Zidane as manager. It was a pair of moves that have not played out very well for Real Madrid, as they are well off the pace being set by their bitter rivals at the top of the league.

Neither team has been as dominant as we expect this year, which has allowed Atletico Madrid to get in the hunt for the title. Saturday morning will deliver the Madrid derby in a game that is crucial to the title hopes of both teams. This is basically a pick play for the SU bet, with the Over/Under set at 2 ½ goals.

Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid La Liga Odds & Game Preview

• When: Saturday, February 9 at 10:15 AM EST
• Where: Wanda Metropolitano, Madrid
• TV: Bein Sports

Why bet on Atletico Madrid?

Atletico Madrid is currently in second place in La Liga, 6 points off the pace being set by Barcelona at the top. Atletico actually lost some ground in the race for the title last week, losing 1-0 to Real Betis after a run that saw them win 3 in a row. The one thing that very much goes in the favor of Atletico this weekend is their home record, which just happens to be the best in La Liga.

They have picked up 29 of a possible 33 points in their 11 home games this season, scoring 19 goals and surrendering just 4 during that run. They have yet to take a loss at home, so you definitely feel that they have the edge, even against a team as strong as their city rivals.

Why bet on Real Madrid?

It has been a tough season for Real Madrid, as they have not really dealt with the loss of their manager and their star player. In fairness, though, they were hit hard by injury in the early part of the season, and while they are on a much better run of form right now, they still find themselves 8 points off the pace being set by Barcelona. Real really cannot afford to drop very many more points if they want to seriously get back into the title race.

Real have picked up just 17 points from their 11 road games, taking 4 of their 6 season losses away from home. Defensively, they have been brutal away from home, surrendering 21 while scoring 19 in those outings. Real Madrid has won 4 in a row heading into this crucial game.

Matchup Facts for Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid

• Atletico Madrid has won all four of its most recent home matches in La Liga
• Real Madrid has won its last four league outings in a row
• Real Madrid has won 14 of the last 27 meetings between these two teams

Expert Pick & Final Score Prediction

There has been nothing between these two teams in previous meetings, with each of the last 4 ending in a draw. Through those 4 games, a total of 4 goals, with defensive battles being the norm. I think we are looking at another draw here.

Score: Atletico Madrid 1 – Real Madrid 1

Serious soccer action takes place this week when Barcelona and Real Madrid throw down in the Spanish Copa del Rey. They don’t call Barcelona versus Real the El Classico for nothing. Barca will be a big favorite, but can Real show they’ve still got some great soccer left even without Ronaldo?

Top Soccer Betting Picks for the Week – February 4^th Edition

Wednesday, Feb. 6

Spanish Copa del Rey

• Barcelona vs Real Madrid

Barcelona remains the top team in La Liga with 15 wins, 5 draws and only 2 defeats. But, don’t look now if you’re a Barca fan because rival Real Madrid has climbed back into the top 3 in the league.

Real has a great 13-3-6 record. They always play as hard as they can when facing Barcelona. Barca should get most of the backing. They remain one of the top teams due to Suarez and Messi up top. But on Wednesday, Real might turn the tables on their more highly regarded rivals in the Spanish Copa del Rey.

Real Madrid is finally playing the type of soccer they believed they could play whether Ronaldo suited up for them or not. They’ll win a close match on Wednesday.

Soccer Betting Prediction: Real Madrid 2, Barcelona 1

Saturday, Feb. 9

La Liga Primera Division

• Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid

It doesn’t seem fair that in the same week Real must battle Barcelona, they must also take on rival Atletico. Real has been playing great soccer, but so has Atletico.

Atletico has only 2 losses in La Liga this season. They’ve got 12 wins and 8 draws. They should really step it up against Real on Saturday. Real might also suffer some of the after effects of battling Barcelona on Wednesday. They could bounce. Going with Atletico.

Soccer Betting Prediction: Atletico Madrid 3, Real Madrid 2

Sunday, Feb. 10

English Premier League

• Tottenham Hotspur vs Leicester City

Only two matches take place in the English Premier League on Sunday, Feb. 10. The first has Tottenham battling Leicester City.

Tottenham remains one of the top squads in EPL. They’ve got 6 losses, no draws, and 19 wins. Since the crazy 0-2 upset loss to Crystal Palace in English FA Cup, Tottenham has won 2 straight: 2-0 over Watford and 1-0 over Newcastle.

Leicester City is 9-5-11. They lost 0-1 to Manchester United in their last heading into this week, but before that, they had drawn with Liverpool 1-1. Leicester could upset Tottenham on Sunday in what should be a competitive match.

Soccer Betting Prediction: Leicester City 1, Tottenham 0

• Manchester City vs Chelsea

Like Tottenham, a less talented EPL team upset Manchester City a few matches ago. Man City lost 1-2 to Newcastle. However, they bounced back in their last English Premier League match before this week when beating Arsenal 3-1.

Chelsea’s right their in the top 5 in the EPL Standings. They face a tall order beating Manchester City on Sunday, though. Chelsea bounced back after an 0-3 loss to Bournemouth by dominating Huddersfield Town.

Man City isn’t Huddersfield Town. They’ll beat Chelsea on Sunday.

Soccer Betting Prediction: Manchester City 2, Chelsea 0
