Top LaLiga Games to Wager On the Weekend (Sep 17th – 19th)
Valencia +400 vs Sevilla -161
- When: Wednesday, Sep. 22
Sevilla has drawn in 3 straight. Valencia has won 3-of-5 with a draw and a loss. Sevilla should win this but the odds on the road team make them an overlay. The home team won the last head-to-head by a single goal. Taking a shot on Valencia at the incredible odds makes the most sense.
Soccer Pick: Valencia
Mallorca +1 ½ (-104) vs Real Madrid -1 ½ (-142)
- When: Wednesday, Sep. 22
Heading into this week’s matchday, Real Madrid has a 2-point lead over Atletico. Real has won 4 straight, including beating Inter Milano 1-0 in a Champions League match on Sep. 15. Mallorca has lost just 1-of-5. The 1 ½ could play into this. The road team is a decent play on the handicap.
Soccer Pick: Mallorca
Real Sociedad -109 vs Granada +280
- When: Thursday, Sep. 23
Granada has lost 2 straight. Rayo Vallecano blasted the home squad 4-0 in an Aug. 29 match. On Sep. 13, Granada fell 1-2 to Real Betis. Real Sociedad has won 3-of-5. The road team has drawn in 2 straight. Sociedad gets back on the winning track in this.
Soccer Pick: Real Sociedad
Real Betis +195 vs Osasuna +136
- When: Thursday, Sep. 23
Betis has won the last 3 head-to-head. But Osasuna is in great form. Save for a 1-4 loss to Valencia on Sep. 13, Osasuna has won 2-of-5 with a couple of draws. In a competitive match like this, sometimes it makes sense to allow the odds to point us in the right direction. In this case, Betis offers better odds. We’re siding with the road squad.
Soccer Pick: Betis
Barcelona -1 ½ (+123) vs Cadiz +1 ½ (-163)
- When: Thursday, Sep. 23
Don’t read too much into Barca’s 0-3 loss to Bayern in their first Champions League match of the season. Barcelona isn’t close to Bayern’s level. Few teams are, think Man City, Chelsea and possibly Liverpool. Barcelona has a real chance of winning this on the handicap. The +123 odds make Barca the play.
Soccer Pick: Barcelona
Atletico Madrid vs Alaves
- When: Saturday, Sep. 25
Alaves has lost 5 straight. Atletico has 2 wins and 3 draws in their last 5. On March 21, AM beat the home team 1-0. Atletico will be worth playing to cover the handicap. The moneyline odds should be too short on the road squad to warrant a bet.
Soccer Pick: Atletico Madrid
Athletic Bilbao vs Valencia
- When: Saturday, Sep. 25
Bilbao is in decent form. They’ve won 2 and drawn 3 times. Valencia forced a 1-1 draw in the last head-to-head. These two drew 2-2 in the head-to-head before last. Valencia should win this, but Bilbao will offer decent odds. We’ll take a shot on AB.
Soccer Pick: Athletic Bilbao
Espanyol vs Sevilla
- When: Saturday, Sep. 25
Sevilla has drawn in 3 straight. Espanyol drew in their last. Sevilla should win this. If the moneyline odds are fair on the home team, go for it. If not, play Sevilla on the handicap.
Soccer Pick: Sevilla
Villareal vs Real Madrid
- When: Saturday, Sep. 25
Villareal has drawn in 5 straight. Real has won 4 straight with a draw. Real should offer decent odds to cover the handicap. That figures to be the top play because Villareal shouldn’t win this and Real is too hot to back the draw.
Soccer Pick: Real Madrid
Levante vs Barcelona
- When: Sunday, Sep. 26
Barca has fallen to tenth place. But that’s because heading into this week they’ve played just 3 Primera Division matches. Barca should easily handle Levante. Look to play Barcelona on the handicap.
Soccer Pick: Barcelona
