Expert La Liga Picks

Stephen Fry gives out his top selections for this week`s La Liga matches.

Barcelona V Deportivo

Barcelona have a twelve point lead at the top of the table and seem to be in awesome form.

Last weekend they went to bottom of the table Osasuna and won 3-2, where as Deportivo lost at home to Sevilla (3-1).

Looking at the last couple of seasons Barca have gone on to beat today`s rivals 2-1, given that the home team are between 3/10 and 1/5, a 2-1 correct score bet looks like a decent option, this rates as a best priced 9/1 and 7/1 at worst, take the 9/1 for the 2-1 win to Barcelona.

Bet Barcelona to beat Deportivo 2-1 at 9/1.

Athletic Bilbao V Valencia

Athletic Bilbao are one of Spain`s top flight in form teams and this weekend`s match against Valencia should prove a good test of whether they are UEFA cup place contenders for next season.

Bilbao have won five and drawn two of their last eight matches, and beat Atletico Madrid last weekend.

The bookmakers seem to give the home team little chance against today`s rivals but I think that they are worth a bet at the 2/1+ on offer for the 90 minutes win.

Bet Athletic Bilbao to beat Valencia in 90 minutes at the 2/1 on offer.
