Top LaLiga Games to Watch this Week (Mar. 5th – Mar. 7th)
Friday, March 5th Game
- Villareal +102 / Valencia +270
Both teams have a win, 2 losses, and 2 draws in their last 5. On Feb. 27, Villareal fell 0-3 to Getafe, though. Villareal’s loss on Feb. 28 was more respectable. Falling by 2 goals to Atletico makes sense. We’re backing the road squad.
Soccer Free Pick: Villareal
Saturday, March 6th Games
- Getafe +181 / Valladolid +177
On Jan. 2, Valladolid beat Getafe 1-0. But the home team has 3 losses and 2 draws in their last 5 matches. Getafe played great on Feb. 28 in the 3-0 victory against Valencia. Give the road team a shot to keep the momentum going.
Soccer Free Pick: Getafe
- Sevilla -1 ½ (+146) / Elche +1 ½ (-196)
Sevilla’s 0-2 loss to Barcelona on Feb. 27 didn’t impress. Elche is not Barca, though. These two haven’t faced off since 2015. So head-to-head records don’t matter. What does matter are the odds. It’s impossible not to back Sevilla at -1 ½. The +146 makes the road favorite an overlay.
Soccer Free Pick: Sevilla
- Eibar +125 / Cadiz +225
It’s difficult to like either one of these teams. Cadiz did beat Eibar 2-0 in the last head-to-head. Cadiz gets the nod because of that.
Soccer Free Pick: Cadiz
- Barcelona -1 ½ (+134) / Osasuna +1 ½ (-178)
Barcelona gives up 1 ½ goals, but they offer +134. The problem? Osasuna has won 3-of-4. The key, again, are the odds. Although Osasuna is in good form, and take on Messi and Barca on their pitch, it’s hard to lay -178. Also, Barcelona beat Elche by 3 on Feb. 24, and Sevilla by 2 on Feb. 27.
Soccer Free Pick: Barcelona
Sunday, March 7th Games
- Celta De Vigo +137 / Huesca +195
The home team has played well enough to get a long look in this. Huesca drew with Eibar on Feb. 27, beat Granada in the match before, and lost to both Sevilla and Real Madrid by a single goal. That’s good enough for us.
Soccer Free Pick: Huesca
- Real Madrid +146 / Atletico Madrid +179
Real continues to impress. They drew with Sociedad on March 1. Before the draw, they had won 4 in a row, including beating Atalanta 1-0 in a Champions League match. In the last 3 head-to-head games, Real has 2 wins and a draw. Back the road team.
Soccer Free Pick: Real Madrid
- Levante +1 ½ (-178) / Real Sociedad -1 ½ (+133)
Sociedad is in great form. Not only did they draw with Real on March 1, but on Feb. 25 they drew with Man United. They beat Alaves 4-1 on Feb. 21. Laying the goal and a half makes sense.
Soccer Free Pick: Real Sociedad
- Granada +396 / Athletic Bilbao -149
The odds on the home team may not justify a bet. Athletic Bilbao has a win and 4 draws in their last 5. Granada has lost 3-of-5. One of the victories was against Napoli in a Europa League match. Granada can pull off the upset win.
Soccer Free Pick: Granada
Monday, March 8th Game
- Alaves +330 / Betis -135
Betis is on a 3-match winning streak. Alaves is on a 3-match losing streak. It feels as if Betis should get the nod. But we won’t go that route. In the 3 matches between these two last year, Betis won one, Alaves won the other, and in the other, they drew. Soccer is a game of ups and downs. We think in this Alaves hands Betis a down.
Soccer Free Pick: Alaves
