WEDNESDAY 30 DECEMBER
Levante 31/20
Draw 19/10
Malaga 18/10
Levante, bottom of the table, are struggling with a six-match winless streak including recent defeats. Malaga, meanwhile, are boosted by their recent 1-0 win over Atletico Madrid and are unbeaten in their last two away matches. Coach Javi Gracia will be eager to build on this momentum. Our call: Malaga to snag a away win at 18/10 odds.
Real Madrid 1/8
Draw 72/10
Real Sociedad 15/1
After showcasing dominance with a 10-2 thrashing of Rayo Vallecano, Real Madrid are closing in on Barcelona’s lead. Gareth Bale’s four goals, Benzema’s hat-trick and Ronaldo’s brace highlight their firepower. Real Sociedad face a tough challenge, having gone winless in their last three outings. With two successive wins at Santiago Bernabeu, expect Real Madrid to triumph by three goals or more at 15/20.
Rayo Vallecano 5/1
Draw 28/10
Atletico Madrid 11/20
Rayo Vallecano are reeling after a humiliating 10-2 defeat and have lost four straight games. Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, have the psychological edge with four unbeaten meetings against Rayo Vallecano. Tip: Atletico to bounce back and secure victory, further dampening Rayo’s spirits.
Sevilla 4/10
Draw 36/10
Espanyol 57/10
Sevilla are eager to break a goalless stalemate against Real Betis and boast a solid unbeaten run with impressive home wins. Espanyol are struggling on the road with a string of defeats. Historical data favours Sevilla. Back a confident home win at 4/10 odds as your safe bet.
Eibar 8/10
Draw 23/10
Sporting Gijon 34/10
Eibar have been struggling recently with five winless games, while Sporting Gijon hover just above relegation. Both sides need points, but Eibar could leverage home advantage for a much-needed win. Bet on Eibar to clinch victory at 8/10.
Barcelona 1/25
Draw 10/1
Real Betis 32/1
Barcelona clinched the Club World Cup with a 3-0 win against River Plate, spearheaded by goals from Messi and Suarez. They remain unbeaten at Camp Nou and aim to extend their lead atop the league. Real Betis come off a goalless draw and less impressive away form. Expect Barca to score in both halves at 3/10 odds.
Celta Vigo 14/10
Draw 9/4
Athletic Bilbao 18/10
Both Celta Vigo and Athletic Bilbao have strong recent form and play thrilling attacking football. With both teams keen on scoring, the odds suggest an open game. Both Teams To Score at 7/10 is a compelling bet.
Getafe 15/10
Draw 2/1
Deportivo La Coruna 18/10
Getafe showcased resilience with a 2-2 draw against Valencia and are unbeaten recently. Deportivo La Coruna have shown solid form as well, but these teams could cancel each other out. Expect a tight draw or low-scoring match.
Las Palmas 21/20
Draw 21/10
Granada 26/10
Las Palmas and Granada face a crucial relegation battle with mixed recent results. I’d lean towards a draw but suggest Both Teams Not To Score at 15/20 odds for safety.
THURSDAY 31 DECEMBER
Villarreal 8/10
Draw 24/10
Valencia 7/2
Villarreal are riding high with recent wins and impressive home form, while Valencia struggle for consistency and away success. Villarreal win is favoured but Both Teams To Score at even money offers great value.
