La Liga 6 & 7 Oct

Saturday’s games

The only match on Saturday sees Valencia host Espanyol. Despite losing this week against Chelsea, Quique Sanchez Flores’ men have won their last five league matches and are clearly in good form. Espanyol currently lie in 6th position and are also in decent form, defeating Sevilla and Deportivo in their last two matches. I think this match will be close and at the prices on offer I am happy not to bet.

Sunday’s games

Athletico Madrid are in fantastic form, they will travel to the Nou Camp in high confidemce, hoping to get a result against Barcelona. Barca are also in cracking form both domestically and in European competition. I think this will be a great game and I also think there will some value in backing Athletico. Have a two point bet on Athletico (+1) at 2.02.

[Athletico lost 3-0]

Villarreal are on fire at the moment, winning their last six games on the trot, they travel to Osasuna hoping for another three points that could see them go top of the table. The visitors have won all of their away games this season and so I find it difficult to see why Osasuna are being offered at their current price. Have a three point bet on Villarreal (-1/4) at 2.08.

[Villarreal lost 3-2]

None of the other matches represent much value for me.
