Picks, tips for betting in Spain Liga BBVA

Barcelona vs Real Madrid – Primera 

Here comes one of the most expected matches of the planet, Barça vs Real, Guardiola vs Mourinho, Messi vs Ronaldo.

Barcelona keeps playing an impressive football, appealing and effective, with 10 victories, 1 draw and 1 defeat in the league, 31 in 36 possible points, guaranteed in the next round in the Champions League, with the 1st place. Even though, they’re at the same position as the last year at the same time, in the second place and a little behind Real, with one Read More

Hercules vs Villareal – Liga BBVA 

This game closes the Spanish League – Day 7, with Hercules receiving Villarreal. Two teams with clearly different ambitions and qualities in my opinion. However, I hope two teams fight for victory and i expect a competitive game. I think the visiting team has other arguments and I think they are able to win this game.

Hercules has risen this year to the 1st League and is currently in 11th position with 7 points. They hired several quality players and although they are still far from the top teams, the truth is that until now have taken important steps towards its main objective, which is maintenance. In the last game moved up to the ground and were clearly defeated by Getafe (3-0). Despite having already beaten teams like Barcelona (Camp Nou) and Sevilla, this team is somewhat limited and I think they will have some difficulties today against a team that has been pretty good so far. This team big player is the top-class striker David Trezeguet, who is the team’s top scorer with 3 goals. Fans and Hercules supporters deposit Read More

Atletico Madrid vs Getafe – Liga BBVA 

Game of the 7th round of the Spanish premier league (Liga BBVA) who will oppose Atletico Madrid to Getafe. It’s a game between two teams who are currently leveled on points (10 points each), in the 6th and 7th positions respectively. Therefore, it is expected to watch a game pretty intense, even more spicy because it is a derby two teams from the same city. I expect a balanced game, but I think the home team has some advantage and could lead the “colchoneros” team to victory.

Atletico Madrid started the season very well with victory in the European Super Cup and also in the first rounds of the league, but has lately been experiencing less positive and even negative results. They will have a match this Saturday against a difficult side, which is presented Read More

Malaga vs Real Madrid – Liga BBVA 

Game of the 7th round of the Spanish League with Malaga receiving Real Madrid. It’s a game between two teams with vey different objectives and quality. Real Madrid wants to be champion, while Malaga wants a secure place in the table. I think that Real Madrid has all to win this game and that’s what I expect. A curiosity is the fact that both teams are managed by portuguese, Malaga by Jesualdo Ferreira and Real Madrid by José Mourinho.

Malaga is now in the 10th place of the board with 7 points. The expectations with the hiring of some great players were many, but the truth is that the team wasn’t able to play at the expected level and now they are fighting for a safe place. In the last round they got a 1 – 1 draw away from home against Almeria, with the goal scored by Owusu-Abeyie. It’s a team that likes to attack and that’s what they do well (best Read More

Barcelona vs Valencia – Liga BBVA 

Big game of the Spanish League with the champion Barcelona playing at home against Valência. In this match will face the 4th and 1st placed and is expected a big game of football.
Despite the favoritism is given to the home team, I expect a very even game and I believe that Valencia has team to get a good result.

Barcelona didn’t start the season very well and they are in the 4th place with 13 points. The team that crushed the oponents is not the same and they are not as strong as last season. In the last round they conceded a home draw against Mallorca. In this game they will face a team that has been very well and so I expect many difficulties for Barcelona to command the game. The team of Barcelona is very dependent of Messi Read More

Huelva vs Salamanca – Segunda Division 

Opening match of eighth round of the Liga Adelante between Recreativo Huelva and Salamanca.

Recreativo Huelva had a very complicated start of the season, after playing seven games the team Recreativo sums only 4 points resulting of 4 draws the equivalent to saying that it still does not know how to win in this league. But the outlook does not seem to be as bad as it looks because the losses were against teams who fight openly for the promotion to the Spanish premier league: Elche, Valladolid and Betis, while the four draws were won in the last 4 rounds. It is true that Huelva has yet to make their fans smile this season but recent results show that there’s only a victory lacking for the team to abandon the last places. In the last two matches Recreativo draw against the unbeatable Las Palmas and in the last round draw 0-0 at Girona’s stadium.

Salamanca comes to this match after having consented the first defeat in the league last round at home against Granada 2-1. Still the team has a good record at this early time in 7 Read More

Malaga vs Villarreal – Liga BBVA 

Jesualdo Ferreira’s team, Malaga, has yet another hard match after some tough tests on the previous games.

After losing to teams as Valencia or Sevilla, both fighting for the same objectives as Villarreal, the Portuguese coach faces a difficult task at home.

He scored in every single game, but has not made any point when playing at Read More

Valencia vs Atletico Madrid – Liga BBVA 

The biggest game of La Liga’s 4th round opposes the sensational team of Valencia which is in a winning streak against the current holders of the Europa League Atletico Madrid which starts well the season.

For this game I’m going on Valencia because the lack of Aguero seems to me a detail to be very vigilant, especially because without him in the field the defensive weaknesses of Maduro in a 1 on 1 game are hidden. Forlan and Tino Costa will gave him the opportunity to accomplish a good tactical Read More

Barcelona vs Sporting Gijon – Liga BBVA 

Match that refers to the fourth matchday of the Spanish La Liga. Barça receives in Camp Nou Sporting Gíjon.

I expect a very one-sided game, Gíjon won’t have a chance in tonight’s game. Barcelona is extremely strong at home and when playing at home they rarely draw or lose a match. The team commanded by Guardiola is currently in 7th with six points (one game behind schedule in relation to Real Madrid).

Looking at the tactics I see Gíjon playing in a classic 4-4-2 (two defensive centre midfielders, Spanish) which means they will be given a lesson of “how to play quality football” by Barcelona, as it happens with the teams that Read More

Real Madrid vs Espanyol – Liga BBVA 

Espanyol de Barcelona visits Real Madrid in a game of no surprises.

Real Madrid is a superior team and will show it winning with no problems Espanyol, which is currently 7th with two victories and one defeat overall.

Real is the league’s actual leader and Mourinho wants to keep it this way. After a hard victory against Real Sociedad, where the Spanish capitol team Read More

Dep La Coruna vs Getafe – Liga BBVA 

Deportivo had a bad start in the Spanish league. They have two nil draws, one against Zaragoza and the other in Sevilla. They have a very solid defense, but they are very bad in the time to score. They haven’t scored any goal yet and they seem to be very nervous in the time to score.

The team of Deportivo has Juan Doming injuried, but the doubt in the starting line up is in Lassad or Míchel. Despite the home factor, that is in Deportivo side, there are also more days of rest that the team of Read More

Atl.Madrid vs Sevilla – Copa del Rey Final 

This is a game with two teams in good shape. Atlético won the Europe League and Sevilha got throw the Champions League after a big victory with a late goal from Rodri.

Atletico Madrid:

This team has in the front players like Aguero, Forlan, Simão and Reyes. This are very good players but if the attack is very good, the defence is very bad. Players like Perea, Dominguez and Ujfalusi aren’t trustable. Antonio Lopez is the weakest player in the defence. The midfield is a regular sector with Tiago and Paulo Assunção who are two medium players. Atlético lives from the attack and depend of the 4 players in the front, that’s why Read More

Osasuna vs Ath.Bilbao – Liga BBVA 

Osasuna is on the 12th place with 10 victories, 8 draws and 15 losses and a goal average of –9. They have done a weak season and the maintenance isn’t assured, however it’s very difficult that they get relegated.

At home they have done good games with 6 victories, 6 draws and 4 losses and with a goal average of +3. Their shape is reasonable, winning some games, losing another, but at home they have done good games and winning points.

Athletic is on the 8th place three points away from an European place. They have 14 victories, 7 draws and 12 defeats with a Read More

Mallorca vs Malaga – Liga BBVA 

Mallorca is playing at home, is in 4th place and want to keep Europe Championship League place. Málaga is in 17th place, 1 point away from relegation places and any point conquer is important.

Mallorca has small vantage from 5th place, Sevilla, and can’t lose points. Mallorca has 16 victories, 7 draws and 10 loses, and they as a good goal average (52-37). Last matche’s was good, and playing at home they show Read More

Valencia vs Dep La Coruna – Liga BBVA 

Five games away from the end of the BBVA League, the tam of Valência is relatively comfortable on the third place with four points of advantage and on their way to assure a place on Champions League next edition.

After their recent elimination of Europe League by Atlético de Madrid, Valência will now for the rest of the season focus on their goal to participate on the biggest European competition on the next season.

They start the season with title hopes, but early they realise that the title fight was very away from them. Their remaining goals were the Europe League and a place that could give them the access to Read More

Real Madrid vs Valencia – Liga BBVA 

Important game to Real Madrid. Real Madrid is in 2nd place, and after Barça draw, there is a stronger hope to reach Leader. Valência is in 3rd place, and any point conquered is important to keep direct access champions league place.

Real Madrid is in 2nd place with 4 points disadvantage to Barcelona, thats draw his last game, and if Real win this game, its only 1 point between Barça and them, and hope could be real. Their motivation Read More

Hope, its main word at Real supporter’s head. Game between Almería, team at 13º place, almost sure that they will stay at main League, and the strong Real Madrid, that come with their heart break because of Barcelona, but still with hope.

Almería is in 13º place with 37 points. It’s a middle-place team and his last games was unpredictable. At home, they are strong, only 2 loses, and a few weeks ago, they draw with “Big” Barcelona. Almería Read More

Gijon vs Tenerife – Liga BBVA 

I guess that is preatty clear what’s going on here, Tenerife needs points to survive to stay at the best spanish league and from the other side a team that reached their goals and just want to be on the best position possible.

Tenerife last five games are only draws and looses , the stats tell you the rest , not even one victory as away team and in the same conditions they have six draws. Well the best they can do is draw a Read More
