Spanish La Liga Preview - Week 10

In the highly anticipated La Liga clash, all eyes are fixed on Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys as Barcelona prepares to host Real Madrid in the first El Clásico of the season. Barcelona, based in Catalonia, has faced challenges against the Madridistas in recent times, losing five of their last seven top-flight matches. However, they remain undefeated in the league this season.

Here's a look at the upcoming fixtures:

Friday, October 27, 2023:

Girona vs Celta Vigo (21:00):
Girona finds themselves level on points with league leaders Real Madrid, with only goal difference separating the two sides. Girona has been prolific in scoring and is set to face a struggling Celta Vigo team. Expect the home side to secure three points, with the odds at 8/10.

Saturday, October 28, 2023:

Almeria vs Las Palmas (14:00):
Almeria remains the only team in the Spanish topflight yet to secure a victory this season. They are currently enduring their longest winless streak in the top flight, with 13 league games without a win (5 draws, 8 losses). Almeria has conceded at least three goals in seven of their last ten games. Consider backing the away side to win at 2/1.

Barcelona vs Real Madrid (16:15):
Barcelona faces a significant injury crisis, with several key players ruled out or doubtful for the match. They'll be up against Real Madrid, who are leading the league and benefiting from the impressive form of Jude Bellingham. Bellingham has been instrumental for both Real Madrid and the English national team. With Barcelona's injury woes, consider supporting the away team to secure a victory at 7/4.

Mallorca vs Getafe (18:30):
Mallorca, despite a recent defeat, is gradually moving away from the relegation zone. They are yet to secure a league victory on their home turf, but this could change this weekend. Keep an eye on the forward duo of Vedat Muriqi and Abdon Prats. Consider a double chance bet on the home team at 2/7.

Cadiz vs Sevilla (21:00):
Sevilla has appointed a new manager, Diego Alonso, and almost secured a win in his debut against Real Madrid. Expect Sevilla to kickstart their campaign with a victory against Cadiz. Back Sevilla to win at 13/10.

Sunday, October 29, 2023:

Real Betis vs Osasuna (15:00):
Real Betis, under the management of Manuel Pellegrini, has shown promise. However, they have won just one of their last five league fixtures. With a midweek appointment against Aris Limassol, a draw at 49/20 might be a prudent bet.

Rayo Vallecano vs Real Sociedad (17:15):
Real Sociedad has enjoyed a strong run in La Liga, with only one defeat in their last five matches. They have a strong attacking record. Consider backing the away side to secure all three points at 14/10.

Athletic Club vs Valencia (19:30):
Athletic Club is within striking distance of a Champions League spot, with their home form playing a crucial role. They have been impressive at the San Mamés Barria. Back a home win at 7/10.

Atletico Madrid vs Alaves (22:00):
Atletico Madrid is in strong form and close to the top of the league. Expect them to comfortably handle Alaves. Back Atletico Madrid to secure all three points on 7/20.

Monday, October 30, 2023:

Granada vs Villarreal (22:00):
Both Villarreal and Granada are struggling, and a cagey affair is anticipated. Consider betting on a draw at 51/20.
