Celta Vigo are currently in 9th position with a home record of 3 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses, which has granted 20 points. Athletic Bilbao on the other hand are far away from the team that they used to be as they hold a low 12th spot and have an away record of 2 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses. Online sportsbooks in Spain believe that both teams are somewhat equal but are still giving the hosts are upper leg 2.40 (7/5), while Athletic Bilbao have been dealt odds of 2.90 (19/10), per Bet365.
If we were to observe the results in the league, then we would see that the Andalusian side are far ahead of the Valencia based team, who are currently fighting with everything they have to stay out of the relegation zone. Levante are trying to dig themselves out of the 17th position so that they would stay clear of danger, however the game against Malaga is different. The most that they can hope for is a tie which stands at 3.80 (14/5).
Atletico Madrid won the Spanish league last season however now they have been severely weakened by the departures of some high profile players. They sit in third with 38 points behind Real Madrid and Barcelona but taking into account their side this season, as compared to last season, they are set to miss out on the big trophies in Spain.
They will host their fierce rivals Real Madrid on Wednesday evening in what promises to be one spectacular showpiece for millions of adoring fans. Los Blancos seem that they are under a spell at the moment as any team that they face is easily overcome. That is why Bet365 has identified them as favorites 2.10 (11/10) despite the fact that Atletico are playing at home. Both a draw and a win for hosts stands at 3.40 (12/5), however neither seem very likely.
Barcelona will play against Elche on Thursday night where they will try to overcome their recent loss to David Moyes’ Real Sociedad in the league. The good news for them is that they will be playing at home where they retain a very impressive record in La Liga (7 wins, 0 draws and 1 loss).
As per Spanish gambling laws, Bet365 offers a wide range of betting options and for this encounter they believe that the Catalan side should have the capacity to easily overcome their opponents 1.083 (1/12). Taking into consideration that Elche are last in the league and maintain an away record of 1 loss, 2 draws and 5 losses, the best result that they can hope for is a tie 10.00 (9/1), which is rather unlikely.
