La Liga Selections

Check out the top picks from this weekend`s La Liga action.

Numancia V Real Madrid

Madrid seem to be having a bit of a dip in form and seem to be just doing enough to win games, their win against Deportivo last weekend was not the best game you will ever see with Raul scoring the only goal of the match on 40 minutes, that was his 306th goal for the club.

I have a feeling that Madrid will come up against a team soon that they will score quite a few against, Barca beat Numancia last weekend by four goals to one and I fancy Madrid will do almost the same.

3-1 looks about right to me and I may cover 3-2 as well, the last time these two met the result was 4-3 to Madrid.

3-1 is a best priced 14/1, 3-2 rates as a 28/1 shot, if you fancy the same score as the last match these two played then you should be able to get around the 100/1+ mark.

Bet Real Madrid to beat Numancia 3-1 at 14`s and 3-2 at 28`s.

Racing Santander V Barcelona

Run away leaders Barca travel to Santander looking for another three points.

The last time these two met in the league last September they drew 1-1, Barca are by far the better team now, and it would take a brave man to bet against them when they are in this type of form.

Unbelievably Barca have scored 18 goals in their last four league matches and I am certainly a fan of their forward flair.

As usual they rate as odds on shots again (1/2).

My bet this week will be Barca/Barca on the HT/FT market at a stand out 11/8 if you shop around, this is only available in a couple of places and I suggest that it will dry up shortly.

Bet Barcelona/Barcelona in the HalfTime/FullTime market at 11/8.
