La Liga race ramps up as Barca and Real battle Royals and Bats

In the latest round of La Liga clashes, league leaders Barcelona (odds-on at 2/7 with Coral to claim the crown) and El Clasico rivals Real Madrid (11/4) continue their tight race for the title with respective duels against Real Sociedad and Valencia.

Spanish football is not suspended for this matchweek, so customers can still take advantage of Coral’s excellent odds, while awaiting news of future fixtures.

Barcelona v Real Sociedad

Barca’s early evening kick-off at the Nou Camp comes against David Moyes’ men, and the Catalan kings are odds-on at 1/12 to take all three points after demolishing German giants Bayern Munich last time out.

Luis Enrique’s side are unbeaten in their last 17 outings across all competitions, having won 16 and drawn one, which is a formidable record by any standards. Having racked up an incredible 16 strikes over their past three La Liga games too, Barca are also available to back at 7/4 to hit five or more and put Sociedad to the sword.

For their part, the Royals have been far from just cannon fodder against the Nou Camp club in recent meetings, proving somewhat of a thorn in their hosts’ side, beating the superstar-stocked team in three of their last four league meetings.

Those three victories all arrived at the Anoeta, however, and the Basque Country club have not fared as well against Barca on Catalan soil, having conceded four on their last league visit to the Nou Camp.

Lionel Messi was in scintillating form against Munich, and has hit nine career goals in 12 appearances against Sociedad, so is terrific value at 2/1 to bag a brace or better. Neymar netted the closing goal last time out and is 7/2 to have the final say again, while lethal Luis Suarez has struck five times in his past three outings and is 16/5 to grab the first.
