The Premier League is often regarded by many sports fans as the best football league in the

world. Although that may be true to some extent, the Spanish top flight has plenty of thrilling

games to watch. Messi and Ronaldo obviously contribute a great deal of showmanship to the

competition, as millions of fans around the globe tune in every week just to watch them show off

their supernatural skills.

However, they are not the only reason for the league’s popularity Spanish gambling news reports. There are many great teams in the Primera that maintain some incredible football talent

within their ranks, which makes way for fantastic football action. This weekend will be no

exception to that as all the major teams in La Liga gear up to face each other for the ultimate

glory.

Valencia will face Rayo Vallecano while Barcelona will take on Getafe

Valencia will defend its colors when they face Rayo Vallecano on Saturday. The Bats are

currently in fifth place with an overall of 25 points from 14 games. Their manager Nuno Espirito

Santo has struggles at times this season as they have let go of leads during matches and therefore

dropped important points. Luckily for them the visiting team from Madrid don’t maintain a

convincing record away from home, a fact that might come in very handy for the hosts.

Unibet sportsbook favors Valencia to seal a win 1.45 (4/9) and capture the all-important three

points. Although a tie between the two is not likely, the odds for a draw have been set at 4.75

(15/4). A win for Rayo is not a realistic possibility 6.60 (11/2), as they have so far suffered three

losses on the road. Taking into account all the records this should be an east win for the Bats

which will help them make further progress up the table.


• Valencia favorite against Rayo Vallecano
• Barcelona travel to Getafe to build on their title challenge
• Atletico Madrid and Villarreal will go head-to-head at the Vicente Calderon

Barcelona enjoyed a solid run at the start of the season, however then came a time when they

suffered back-to-back defeats at the hands of fierce rivals Real Madrid (3-1) and Celta Vigo

(0-1). Now they have a total of 34 points and are 2 points behind league leaders Los Blancos.

Although their away record is not as good as their home record at the Nou Camp, they are still

favorites to win their next encounter against Getafe.

As per Spanish gambling laws, punters can easily place wagers on any football games that they

choose. Unibet has given Luis Enrique’s men highly favorable odds 1.22 (), while Getafe are

deemed as strong outsiders for the clash 13.00 (12/1). Nevertheless, this should be a thrilling

match to watch for many fans as the trident of Messi, Neymar and Suarez seems to at full force

now, after their recent great performance against PSG in the Champions League.

Atletico Madrid will host Villarreal while Real Sociedad will play Athletic Bilbao

On Sunday, Primera will showcase an encounter between Atletico Madrid and Villarreal.

The famed stadium of the Madrid side, Vicente Calderon, will be the ground on which the

anticipated match will be played. The hosts are third in the league (32 points), behind Real

Madrid and Barcelona, so their chances of clinching a second champions title are still within

reach. Although they have lost some important players over the summer, they can still challenge

for the top spot.

Villarreal on the other hand are in 6th

reassuring. They have won 3 games, but then they also drawn on three other occasions and lost

once in the process, whereas Atletico have an almost impeccable record of 6 wins and 1 draw at

home. For this reason Unibet believes that the hosts can pull off a win 1.60 (3/5), while Villarreal

will have to play the game with underdog odds 6.00 (5/1).

Athletic Bilbao is preparing to square off against Real Sociedad away on Sunday, in a game that

will bear a great deal of uncertainty. Sociedad are in 14th

currently in 10th

and Athletic Bilbao lost four times, drawn once and lost twice while on the road, which makes

this game quite unpredictable.

Online sportsbooks in Spain are supporting Real Sociedad to clinch a win at home 2.45 (29/20),

an event that may happen although the result could easily go either way. The visiting team have

been assigned odds of 3.00 (2/1) as they have so far lost on four different occasions while playing

away. Betting on a draw may perhaps be the safest option for punters as it stands at 3.20 (11/5).
