Spanish football is all about flashy displays of personal skills coupled with rapid movements of the ball that sees some of the top sides bag 5-6-7 goals in a single game. And we don’t see that changing anytime soon so make sure to place your wagers with online sportsbooks in Spain today, while the odds are still hot! Be ready for some potential surprises in this weekend’s round 21 considering that some clubs have blundered against lower sides.
Valencia v Real Madrid – H 4.70 (37/10) D 4.50 (7/2) A 1.64 (7/11)
Real Madrid have won both the Champions League and the Spanish championship last season, so normally we’d place our bets on them (surprise, surprise). But taking into account how they’ve performed in recent games, we’re not too confident about them clinching an easy victory this weekend, especially since they’ll go up against third-placed Valencia.

Over the last 5 games in La Liga, Los Blancos have suffered 2 losses (to Barcelona and then to Villarreal), 1 draw (to Celta Vigo) and only 2 victories (against Sevilla and Deportivo La Coruna) – not a record one would expect of a 12-time European winner. On top of that, Zinedine Zidane’s men have also been dealt a humiliating loss to Leganes in Copa del Rey, so their confidence is not running high at the moment, which could be the perfect opportunity to bet against them. And since Valencia are doing pretty well at the moment, we’d place our wagers on them to win at home against Real Madrid.
Villarreal v Real Sociedad – H 2.15 (8/7) D 3.55 (28/11) A 3.30 (23/10)
This is probably one of the best matches to bet on this weekend, not just in Spain, but across Europe. That’s because the odds for Villarreal – who will be playing at home – have been boosted for this match against Real Sociedad, so don’t miss out on this opportunity to make a killing.

The Yellow Submarine holds an impressive record (4 wins and 1 draw over the last 5 games), while the visiting side find themselves in 15th position after suffering 3 losses over the last 5 encounters. With a record like this it’s not surprising that providers of internet betting in Spain view them as underdogs, although their odds are not that far off from their opponents’ chances. But even still, we’re backing Villarreal to clinch an easy victory with odds of 2.15 (8/7), which will easily more than double our earnings.
Sevilla v Getafe – H 1.53 (6/11) D 4.35 (37/11) A 6.00 (5/1)
And the last great encounter of this matchday will see Sevilla go head to head with Getafe – another possible great return on your bet thanks to increased odds for the home. The Andalusian side sit in 6th on the table with 32 points, while the club from Madrid are in 9th place with 5 points less.
The reason why Sevilla’s odds are somewhat higher than on average is due to their 3 losses over the last 5 games, with the other 2 encounters ending in 1 draw and 1 victory. Getafe on the other hand have lost one less match in the period than their upcoming opponents, so the odds are naturally a bit higher. But looking at their individual performances in recent rounds we’re willing to bet Sevilla will clinch an easy win, despite suffering stumbling blocks in recent encounters.
