Weekend La Liga Picks

Happy New Year! Here are a few picks from this weekend`s La Liga schedule.

Barcelona V Real Mallorca

Barcelona are flying right now and lead the table by 10 points from their nearest rivals Sevilla.

Villarreal midfielder and ex-Arsenal man Robert Pires described Barca as the `best team in the league` after his team lost to the Catalans on December the 21st (2-1), and I do not think many people would disagree with him.

17th placed Mallorca are struggling to find any type of consistent form and have only managed three wins all season and I do not see them turning their season around against the league leaders.

Barcelona are as short as 1/8 in places and there is better value in betting the HalfTime/FullTime market, Barca/Barca is a stand out 4/7 if you shop around and this is the recommendation.

Bet Barcelona/Barcelona at 4/7.

Real Madrid V Villarreal

With both teams level in the league on points this could be a close match, they stand in joint fifth place with 29 points.

Madrid are not having the best of seasons and past recommendations to bet against them have paid dividends.
I think that this match should be tight but certainly winnable for the visitors.

Shopping around proves fruitful with the best price for the away win at 4/1.

I would also not put you off backing the visitors to win this match 1-0 and at a push 2-1 which are available at 14`s and 18`s respectively.

Bet Villarreal to beat Madrid at 4/1.
