Updated: 2024With games being played every single day in La Liga, there’s no respite for the players, and nor for the punters. Barcelona produced their best performance under Quique Setién last time out with a four-one win away at Villarreal, but is it all too late as Zidane’s Real Madrid march on with a third successive 1-0 win making it seven wins in a row.
All times are in UK Time
Atletico Madrid look to have put their poor early season form behind them as they made it 13 La Liga games without defeat in their draw with Celta Vigo, while Sevilla were certainly thankful for Barcelona’s performance as they went six points clear of Villarreal in the race for the final Champions League spot with a nervy 1-0 win over Basque outfit, Eibar.
At the other end of the table, Mallorca couldn’t follow up their impressive 5-1 victory over Celta Vigo as they fell victim to Simeone’s Atletico, remaining six points from safety. Barcelona’s city rivals Espanyol crept ever nearer a season in the Segunda division as their losing streak increased to 5 against relegation rivals Leganes who will be lifted by their result.
What are the tipsters predicting?
Atletico Madrid vs Real Betis
Atletico Madrid will look to continue the fine run of form that has seen them ascend the La Liga table, as they currently sit in third. Morata has found his shooting boots netting twice against Mallorca before opening the scoring after just 51 seconds in the draw against Celta Vigo.
For Betis, it has been an underwhelming season of transition as they look to rebuild following the departure of current-Barcelona boss Setién. Nine points above the relegation zone, they will feel they are safe, but they will look to top scorer Lorenzo Morón to propel them up the table for a more respectable finish.
