Valencia will go head to head with Cordoba away from home where they will probably encounter some challenges.
• Getafe will play Espanyol at home this weekend
• Valencia will go head to head with Cordoba away
• Atletico Madrid should easily overcome Almeria at home
And then later in the evening on Saturday Atletico Madrid will face another test against Almeria which they should have the capacity and depth within their squad to overcome them. And finally, Deportivo La Coruna will square off against Celta Vigo and judging by their performances in games both sides are set to notch a likely draw.
Getafe vs Espanyol and Cordoba vs Valencia
Getafe are the favorites to win against Espanyol 2.40 (7/5) as their home record is better than the Catalan side’s away results. The Madrid based club have notched 15th spot in the league and claim a total of 23 points overall, partly thanks to their home results which stand at 4 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses. Their form has been pretty uncertain in recent times (2 wins and 3 losses), which has propelled Bet365 to set a draw at 3.20 (11/5).
Espanyol are currently enjoying a much better standing than their upcoming opponents, finding themselves in 8th position and trying hard to make their presence known in the Spanish top flight. Their form over the last 5 games stands at 2 losses and 3 wins while also maintaining a dire away record of 2 wins, 2 draws and 7 losses. Bet365 has given them unfavorable chances 3.00 (2/1), due to their lackluster results.
Cordoba have struggled to perform this season as it seems that immense pressure has gotten to them. They currently sit in 20th position and have accumulated only 18 points from 23 games so far, while having a form that is rather disappointing (1 draw and a massive 4 losses in last 5 games). It is therefore obvious that Mobile betting sites do not give them high hopes 4.20 () of success against Valencia.
The current manager of Valencia, Nuno Espirito Santo, will have a great chance of making progress up the table against Cordoba. This will provide his team with the perfect opportunity to seal another 3 easy points. while on the road they have notched 4 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses, which is why Bet365 has earmarked them to win 1.85 (6/7). A draw 3.50 (5/2) seems rather unlikely given the greater difference between the two sides.
Atletico Madrid vs Almeria and Deportivo La Coruna vs Celta Vigo
Following the departure of some high profile players like Diego Costa, Thibaut Courtois and Filipe Luiz, Atletico Madrid had to find a solution quickly in order to compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona. Although they haven’t managed to replicate the same results as last year they are still solid considering their weakened squad. They are no 3rd with 50 points and are the absolute favorites 1.20 (1/5) to overcome Almeria at home.
The visiting side don’t have a realistic shot at clinching a victory and the best that they can hope for is a draw 6.50 (11/2), which is also hard to achieve. They currently sit in 16th place with 23 points and their form in the past 5 games has been quite ambiguous (2 wins,1 draw and 2 losses). That is why online sportsbooks in Spain do not favor them to win against a side that is dominating on their home turf.
Deportivo La Coruna will be tested against Celta Vigo at home and looking at their individual records the game is looking to be a draw. The hosts lie in 14th with 24 points so far and their home record is 4 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses, while the form of the last 5 matches is 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses. Due to their unconvincing results Bet365 has decided to give them odds of 3.30 (23/10).
Celta Vigo enjoy a slightly better standing on the table being in 9th spot with an overall of 28 points. They have the same form as their upcoming opponents (2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses), while their away record (2 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses) is similar to that of La Coruna’s home results. But die to their better position in the league Bet365 favors them to win 2.30 (13/10), while a draw has been set at 3.20 (11/5).
