• Valencia and Villarreal will go head to head
• Getafe will play La Coruna at home
• Barcelona aim to beat Celta Vigo away
Deportivo La Coruna will travel to the capital where they will play against Getafe. This game should provide many betting opportunities for regular sports enthusiasts. Celta Vigo face a highly challenging game at home against current league leaders Barcelona. Espanyol will host Elche in the final game of round 29, a match that should also see plenty of football action.
Valencia vs Villarreal and Getafe vs La Coruna
The first game on Sunday will see the likes of Real Madrid go head to head with Granada at the Bernabeu, but right after that in the afternoon Valencia will clash with Villarreal. The two clubs will face off at 17:00 CET and looking at their individual records, the home side has the upper hand. They find themselves in 3rd spot with a total of 60 points and they maintain pretty impressive home results (12 wins, 1 draw and only 1 loss).
Villarreal are still in the process of bouncing back so they are not viewed as serious candidates for a win. Their record away from home stands at 4 wins, 7 draws and 3 losses, while their form on the road has also been lackluster in recent times (2 losses and 3 draws). Looking at their performances so far, Bet365 doesn’t rank them strong contenders, assigning them underdog chances 3.60 (13/5). A win for the hosts stands at 2.10 (12/11), and a tie is 3.50 (5/2).
Getafe will host Deportivo La Coruna on Sunday at 19:00 CET. The home side have so far accumulated 29 points which granted them 13th spot on the table. Over the last 5 matches they notched 2 wins and 3 losses, stats that do not spell great fortunes up ahead in the league. Nevertheless, mobile betting sites have decided to brand them favorites for the next match for which the odds are 2.20 (6/5).
Deportivo La Coruna have been assigned lesser chances 3.60 (13/5) to win the encounter. They have only managed to collect 26 points from 28 games so far this season, which puts them in 16th position. While playing on the road they weren’t successful in their pursuits, clinching only 2 wins, while the rest of them ended in 4 draw and high 7 losses. That is why a draw between the two is also a real possibility 3.10 (21/10).
Celta Vigo vs Barcelona and Espanyol vs Elche
Celta Vigo will play Barcelona at home on Sunday evening. The difference between the two sides is vast and cannot be compared on any level. Celta Vigo occupy the middle of the table after collecting 35 points. They managed to win notch only 2 wins in their last 5 encounters, while the other encounters finished in 2 losses and draw. Considering the fact that they are about to face Barcelona, these figures won’t help them one bit.
The Catalan giants find themselves at the perch of La Liga with an overall of 68 points. Second-placed Real Madrid sit right behind them claiming 4 points less and are therefore the only side that can usurp their position. Luis Enrique’s men have won on 10 occasions on the road, with the other games ending in 2 draws and 2 losses. It is obvious that they would be branded as absolute favorites 1.40 (2/5), while the hosts have been assigned outsider odds 7.50 (13/2).
The final encounter will see the less prominent Catalan side go head to head Elche. Espanyol have so far achieved 12th position on the table, however many in Spain believe that they could have done better. At home they notched 7 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses, and their home form has been decent (3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss). Despite blundering on occasion, they should be able to pull off a win against the travelling side.
Elche are not that far behind as they sit in 15th spot with 27 points overall. Over the course of the last 5 encounters they clinched 3 losses, 1 draw and managed to record only 1 victory. While playing on the road they won only 3 times, tied 3 as well and lost on 7 occasions. It makes sense that online sportsbooks in Spain do not favor them for the win 5.75 (19/4). A win for the hosts is far more likely 1.67 (2/3), although a draw 3.60 (13/5) between them should also be considered.
