La Liga 20 & 21 Oct

Ben Green's expert picks for Spanish La Liga games on 20th and 21st October 2007.

Saturday`s games

Although Valencia have lost their last two games, they have won all of their away fixtures this season. I fail to see why a Deportivo side should be able to match them and the prices on offer make a wager look very tempting.I recommend a two point bet on Valencia (-1/4)at 2.04.

[Valencia won 4-1]

Barcelona are in fantastic form at the moment, winning their last six games easily they will be riding a wave of confidence. Villarreal are also in great form, but their loss last week may have dented their confidence and i think Barca will be keen to put some space between the two sides by taking three points. Have a two point bet on Barcelona (-1/2) at 1.88.

[Barcelona lost 3-1]

Sunday's games

Osasuna defeated Villarreal last week and that will have given them a real boost, they travel to Almeria in the hope of getting an other good result. I think these sides are well matched and a draw looks a likely result. I fancy a one point bet on Osasuna with (+1/4) at 1.93.

[Osasuna lost 2-0]

The only other match that looks like a decent bet to me is Murcia with half a goal start against Getafe. Getafe are in terrible form and are sitting just one place below the bottom of the table, Murcia are treading water midtable and i think the handicap is a little too generous. Have a one point bet on Murcia (+1/2) at 1.87.

[Getafe won 2-0]

None of the other games represent much value for me and are best left alone.
