Real Madrid – La Coruna

Real Madrid: On Thursday she faced Leganes for the cup quarter finals (0-1). Before that she had another hard “slap” this time in Bernabeu from Villarreal (0-1) 87’. Obviously in a bad shape, unlucky (2 times the ball stopped at goalpost). Rumors about big changes in the roster for the summer continue to grow. Benzema (12/2) returns, Sergio Ramos is out once again (13/0).

La Coruna: She tried and scored a goal on 88’ and on 92’ she missed unbelievable chance to equalize. However, she was defeated from an obviously superior Valencia (1-2). She received two goals thanks to the mistakes of goalkeeper Ruben (37) and center back Albentosa (64). They increase their efforts to acquire a goalkeeper. Valverde (MF 16/0), Cartabia (winger 14/2) cannot be counted on. Debatable the participation of center back Sidnei.

Verdict: Real is looking for a victim and the defense of La Coruna is offered as one but with the odds playing so low (1.65 for over 3.5) maybe it is better to wait for live. NO BET.

Real Sociedad – Celta de Vigo

Real Sociedad: A 10 years old tradition in “Anoeta” came to an end. Lost from Barcelona (2-4). Perfect in the first half, pressed right and took the lead with 2-0 at 34’. After that she paid her defensive weaknesses. Only one victory in the last 8 games (1-3-4), only 3 teams have more goals against in the league. Center back I. Martinez (11/1) and midfielder Zurutuza are out.

Celta: Victory-relief against Levante (0-1), first under after 14 consecutive away over in the league. Seems that the fatigue after the games against Barcelona (cup) and Real (league) is over. She took the lead in the first half and kept the score, being lucky in one or two cases. “It was the first time we got more than we deserved” admitted her coach with chivalry.

Verdict: 2 ex Barcelona coaches, two teams with attacking play style in their DNA two really bad defenses. I say 4-6 goals(2.3) with Over 2.5 and G/G of course being also a choice.

Real Betis – Barcelona

Betis: Tough victory against Leganes (3-2). From 2-0 to 2-2 and took the win with a penalty of R. Castro in the ending. The first scorer in club’s history came back after his 6-month lending to China. Center back Feddal (12/3) and Mandi (16/0) are coming back while forward Sanabria (12/7) and Barragan (D 17/0) are out.

Barcelona: First defeat after the Super-Cup of August and also first in a Catalan derby against Espanyol. (1-0 88’) after 9 years. Lots of new faces, bad appearance, lost penalty from Messi. Before that there was an astonishing come back against Sociedad (2-0)->(2-4). 6 consecutive league games with a goal for Luis Suarez. Coutihnio and Dembele are injured. Under debate the participation of Iniesta ( MF 15/1), Alkazer ( FWD 8/2) and Umtiti (CB 12/0).

Verdict: Betis is looking good and with positive appearances in all the big games this year can find a goal and give Barcelona hard time 4-6 goals (1.9)

We wish you good luck whatever you may chose!
