It’s never easy for Real Madrid at San Mamés

Athletic Bilbao are hosting Rafa Benítez’ men in an always-passionate encounter. The prestigious match between these two sides is usually rather emotional, despite the fact that Bilbao are not regarded among the top teams in Spain. However, they are in horrible form lately, having lost 3 out of their last 4 league games. On the other hand, Los Blancos have not conceded a single goal so far this season and they aim to keep that up.

According to these statistics, Bilbao seem to be the underdogs for the match and their 5.00 (4/1) odds set by BetVictor Sportsbook, the popular internet betting site, is quite realistic. Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 14 goals against Bilbao so far. In addition, he failed to score against Granada and it does not happen very often that he remains without scoring for 2 consecutive games. The above mentioned sports betting destination offers 1.75 (3/4) odds for him putting the ball in the net at least once.

Barca face an exciting clash against Celta Vigo

Luis Enrique’s men are making a trip to Vigo, where they will be hosted by Os Celestes. Of course the Catalan side are arriving as clear favourites, however Celta Vigo should not be underappreciated. The Celtina are undefeated so far this season, having won 3 out of 4 games – the last victory was in Ramón Sanchez-Pizjuán against Sevilla, where the Sky Blues were also underdogs.

Nevertheless, Barcelona are not performing any worse. They triumphed all their league games even though they were only good for a poor draw against AS Roma in the Champions League. Now one of the most popular online gambling sites in Spain, BetVictor, offers odds for Barca’s success at 1.53 (53/100) while those for Eduardo Berizzo’s men are 6.50 (11/2). As both sides are good at scoring, the Over 3,5 goals market for 2.45 (29/20) online betting odds seems to be a rather rewarding option to place a bet on.

Betis v Depor clash could end in a draw

Real Betis will host Deportivo La Coruna on Thursday in a seemingly unpredictable game. The two teams have been performing the same way so far this season as both sides lost one, won one and tied two of their first 4 matches. The game’s final result seems quite impossible to predict but placing a bet on draw could be rewarding thanks to the 3.4 (12/5) odds of the well-known sport betting provider, BetVictor.

Betis are regarded as tight favourites with their odds of 2.20 (6/5) due to their advantage of playing at home. However, more cautious punters can wager on the Double Chance market. Should Betis fail to win, the reward you’d get from online sportsbooks in Spain would be as high as 1.67 (67/100), while both the no-draw market and Depor failing to win the game are for 1.30 (3/10).
