La Liga Matchday 11 Predictions
Real Betis to beat Valencia (-110)
Real Betis has climbed up to fifth in the standings after securing four wins in its last five games. It delivered another impressive performance to beat in-form Rayo Vallecano 3-2 at the weekend, and that result should fill the players with confidence.
Valencia is heading in the opposite direction as its currently on a six-match winless streak. It had a golden opportunity to return to winning ways when it hosted Mallorca at the weekend, but it could only draw 2-2, despite Mallorca having two players sent off.
The odds on a home win for Real Betis look very tempting in this game.
Real Madrid to beat Osasuna & Over 2.5 goals (-115)
Real Madrid should have enough quality to get the better of Osasuna when the teams meet at the Bernabéu on Wednesday.
Osasuna has won all four away games so far this season, and it is currently flying high in sixth place in the standings, but it has not yet faced a team of Real Madrid's caliber.
Los Blancos thumped Shakhtar Donetsk 5-0 in the Champions League last week and followed up that impressive performance with a 2-1 win against Barcelona in El Clasico. Their home games have seen an average of 4.67 goals so far this season, while Osasuna's away games average 3.75 goals, so Real Madrid to win and Over 2.5 goals in the game looks appealing.
Real Sociedad to beat Celta Vigo (+145)
Real Sociedad extended its unbeaten run to 12 games in all competitions when it held Atlético Madrid to a 2-2 draw on Sunday. It has not tasted defeat since losing to Barcelona on the opening day of the season, and it looks strong in every department right now.
Sociedad beat Celta Vigo home and away last season, and it should be able to repeat the feat when the teams meet at Balaídos on Thursday.
Celta Vigo has a Monday night game against Getafe, so its players could be tired for this clash with Sociedad. They have already lost six of their nine games so far this season, and they could struggle against the league leader.
If you are feeling more cautious, UniBet and SugarHouse have a very tempting -127 on Sociedad draw no bet.
