La Liga

Matchweek 26

Bet: Total Goals by Home Team over 2

Despite lots of optimistic sports betting predictions, the last two matches in the La Liga appeared to be very difficult for Atletico Madrid. After loosing to Barcelona at Calderon (1-2), los Colchoneros were held to a 1-1 away draw with struggling Deportivo. So Simeone’s side have drifted away from the top-3 in the Primera standings. Madrid are 9 points behind Sevilla, so the betting experts believe it will be difficult for them to catch up, but at the same time they have to defend their 4^th position from Sociedad who are only one point behind.

Due to the 3 victories in the last 4 matches, including beating Real Madrid (2-1), Valencia managed to ensure the safe distance from the relegation zone. At this moment the Bats sit on the 13^th place with 29 points. Despite a recent good run of form, the sports betting companies don’t think Voro’s side can pretend on something serious this season, they are expected to finish in the middle of the table. Besides, the betting experts notice that Los Che are far less dangerous when playing on the road.

While choosing a bet it’s worth keeping in mind the fact that Atletico Madrid are undefeated in 9 of their last 10 La Liga fixtures. Besides, they have won all of the last 3 games against Valencia. On the other hand, following the betting tips, you should know that los Colchoneros have conceded in their last 5 matches. So with Godin’s suspension, Madrid’s defense don’t look infallible. As for Valencia, they still miss Nani while Santi Mina and Martin Montoya are doubts for the upcoming battle.

The bookmakers don’t believe Valencia can make a stand in the away game: Atletico Madrid – 1,48, Draw – 4,40, Valencia – 7,00. As the Bats’ defense is also far from being faultless, it is recommended to bet on the “Total Goals by Home Team over 2” (2,10). Besides, you can risk to bet on “Both Teams to Score “ (1,96). Apart from that, there is a good option “Asian Handicap Atletico -1” (1,74).
