Barca, though, is playing well. The home said has won 3-of-5 with a couple of draws. 1 of the draws was versus Napoli on the road in a Champions League match. This happens at Camp Nou, so Barca should cover.

Saturday, February 24th at 3:00 pm ET
Power Horse Stadium, Almería, Spain
Almeria shows 3 losses and 2 draws in their last 5. The home underdog has dropped the last 2 head-to-head meetings versus Atletico.
But AM isn’t playing great soccer. Atletico has lost 3-of-4. Still, Madrid fell by just a goal to Inter in their last and the match happened at the Giuseppe Meazza.

La Liga Odds: Cadiz +190; Celta Vigo +160
Sunday, February 25th at 8:00 am ET
Nuevo Mirandilla, Cádiz, Spain
In their last 5, Celta has a single victory. The road fave in this beat Osasuna 3-0 on Feb 4. Other than that win, Celta Vigo has lost 4 of their last 5.
Cadiz has lost 3-of-5 with a draw. The home team has fallen to Betis and Osasuna in their last 2 by a combined 4 goals to 0. Backing Celta makes sense.

Real Betis vs Athletic Bilbao
La Liga Odds: Real Betis +230; Athletic Bilbao +130
Sunday, February 25th at 10:15 am ET
Benito Villamarín, Sevilla, Spain
Both teams are playing decent enough soccer to warrant consideration. Home dog Real Betis has won 2-of-5 with a couple of draws and a loss.
Athletic Bilbao has won 3-of-5 with 2 draws. All 3 of Bilbao’s win their latest form cycle came in their last 4 matches. AB gets the nod.

Las Palmas vs Osasuna
La Liga Odds: Las Palmas +140; Osasuna +230
Sunday, February 25th at 12:30 pm ET
Estadio Gran Canaria, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain
Atletico blasted Las Palmas in their last, dominating the home team in this 5-0. But before falling to Atletico, Las Palmas had beaten Valencia 2-0.
Osasuna is on a 2-match winning streak. The road team beat Sociedad and Cadiz. This should be a tight match, which is why siding with Osasuna is the play.

Real Madrid vs Sevilla
La Liga Odds: Real Madrid -1.5 -115; Sevilla +1.5 -105
Sunday, February 25th at 3:00 am ET
Santiago Bernabéu, Madrid, Spain
Both sides are playing well. However, Sevilla is playing better because the expectations on Real Madrid are higher.
Real shows 3 wins and a couple of draws in their last 5. El Blanco drew against Rayo Vallecano in their last. The lackluster performance is enough of a reason to take the +1.5 on Sevilla.

Girona vs Rayo Vallecano
La Liga Odds: Girona -1 +110; Rayo Vallecano +1 -130
Saturday, February 26th at 3:00 am ET
Municipal de Montilivi, Girona, Spain
Although Girona remains in second place on the La Liga Standings, the home team in this hasn’t played as well recently as they did at the beginning of the season.
Girona has lost 3-of-5 with a win and a draw, which is why Vallecano isn’t a bad play at +1. Ah, but the payout on Girona to win by more than a goal, +110 is decent. Give the home team a shot to get back on the right track.
