La Liga Betting Preview: Can Barca beat Betis? Will Cadiz continue to confound expectations?

Atletico Madrid v Cadiz

Newly promoted Cadiz shocked the white half of Madrid back in October with a 1-0 win over Real that did not even remotely flatter them – it could and should have been more, as they outplayed their illustrious opponents.

Can they do it again against Atletico? Diego Simeone’s side will be ruing a missed midweek opportunity as they let a 1-0 lead over Lokomotiv Moscow slip, while their steady league form sees them in fourth – with their notoriously stingy defence conceding twice in six games so far.

Atletico are 4/9 to win, with the draw at 29/10 and a Cadiz win at 17/2.

If you’re expecting another Atletico shut-out, they can be backed at 10/11 to win to nil, while a shock Cadiz win with both teams scoring is out at 22/1.

Valencia v Real Madrid

While Barcelona have struggled in the league – most of Real Madrid’s woes this season have come in European competition, bar the shock defeat to Cadiz. While five wins, one draw and a loss isn’t the dominant form we may have come to expect from Los Blancos, it’s enough to see them in second, with a game in hand over leaders Real Sociedad.

Opponents Valencia on the other hand, are without a win in four. They were involved in an absolute thriller against Getafe last weekend, with their opponents taking a 2-1 lead in the 98th minute – before Valencia snatched the draw with a 100th minute equaliser from Carlos Soler. They may need more heroics on Sunday to hold off Real.

Home side Valencia are 11/2 to win on Sunday, with 17/5 about the draw and Real Madrid the 1/2 favourites to take the tie.

Each of Real Madrid’s last five games have involved four or more goals, and you can back a Real win with over 3.5 goals at 9/4, while over 4.5 goals in the game comes in at 16/5.
