• Espanyol and Sevilla will go head to head
• Villarreal will host Getafe on Tuesday evening
• Atletico Madrid will look to cause an upset against Barcelona away
Getafe are struggling to keep up with the rest of the teams in La Liga as they are now trailing in 15th position with only 17 points. Online sportsbooks in Spain don’t have high hopes for them against Villarreal as they maintain a record of 2 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses while playing away from home. Bet365 has given them outsider odds 8.50 (15/2) that befit their current standing. The hosts on the other hand have been dealt favorite odds of 1.36 (4/11).

After beating fierce town rivals Real Madrid in the Cup, Atletico Madrid now face another daunting task ahead of them. They will have to overcome Barcelona if they are to proceed to the semi-finals of the competition. They were a joy to watch as they beat Los Blancos, however Bet365 does not think they have it in them against the Catalan side and that is why their chances stand at a high 6.00 (5/1).

Barcelona are second in the league and maintain a home record of 8 wins, 0 draws and 1 loss which has granted favorite odds 1.50 (1/2) against Diego Simeone’s men. At first glance many sporting fans would say that Barcelona will emerge as the winners of the tie, however considering how Atletico managed to overcome the powerful Real Madrid, a similar event may once again repeat itself.

Malaga vs Athletic Bilbao and Espanyol vs Sevilla


Athletic Bilbao will play against Malaga away, however many sporting fans remain reserved when it comes to the visitor’s chances of clinching a victory. The Basque side has a negative away record 2 wins, 2 draws and a massive 6 losses, which is pretty bad considering they will go up against a team that has managed to reach 7th place in the league.

Malaga maintains a record of 5 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses and they therefore have been dealt preferential odds 2.20 (6/5). A win for Bilbao stands at 3.40 (12/5) and a tie between the two sides has been set at 3.20 (11/5), but judging the recent performances of both teams, a win for the hosts seems to the more realistic bet.

Espanyol will play against Sevilla at home, but despite having the upper hand by playing on their own ground, Bet365 has branded them underdogs 2.80 (9/5). At home they have notched 5 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses, which is not great but they still have a lot of quality within their squad. The visiting side will find it hard to break through their defenses.

Sevilla currently occupy 4th place with an overall of 39 points, which is quite different from what Espanyol has (23 points). While playing on the road Sevilla has managed to record an impressive 5 wins, but they have also lost on 3 occasions. Under Spanish gambling laws, Bet365 offers a wide range of betting option and for this game the visiting team has been dealt favorite odds of 2.50 (6/4).
