Expert La Liga Selections

Stephen Fry analyzes a pair of games from this weekend`s action in Spain.

Sevilla V Barcelona

Sevilla went through a bit of a down turn in form in the last week of October and the first week of November, they lost four on the bounce in all competitions, but seem to have regained some composure, having now not lost in four games.
The only team to have beaten Sevilla at home this season in the league are Malaga 1-0.

That game was not one of Sevilla best and the referee that day issued a total of five yellow cards and one red for Sevilla`s Adriano.

Last season they held Barca twice at home to draws and also beat Real Madrid, they are also playing pretty well in the UEFA cup, having only lost once so far.

This form leads me to believe that they can come away with something from this match and I think that the draw may be the best betting option.

Bet Sevilla and Barcelona to draw at the best price of 12/5.

Getafe V Real Madrid

Second placed Real travel to getafe this weekend, 14th placed Getafe have only won three matches this season, and only once at home.

Last week saw them hold leaders barcelona to a 1-1 draw, whilst Real won 1-0 at home to Recreativo Huelva.
Real do seem to be having a few nightmare games recently and their constant injury problems are not helping the situation.

That said i still think that they can go on to win this match as I think that they have a very strong squad and it would be foolish to write them off as maybe even giving Barca more than a run for their money to win the championship race.

Odds against Barca at a best priced 6/5 looks very tempting and is the recommendation in this game.

Bet Barcelona to beat Getafe at 6/5.
