Expired

Real Sociedad vs Alaves (Getty Images).

A place in Europe is still on the radar for both sides, but Bilbao are struggling to pull wins together. The hosts have lost 5 of their last 6 matches, failing to score in 4 of those matches. Osasuna have lost just 2 of their last 12 matches, with 5 wins and 5 draws in the bag, so they’re in good form but not dominating in La Liga.

Osasuna haven’t been travelling well, losing 2 of their last 4 on the road and with only 3 wins in their last 10 away matches. Bilbao have lost 5 and won just 3 of their last 10 matches at home, so this is stacking up as a scrappy draw.

Mallorca vs Valencia

Valencia are just 1 point ahead of Mallorca and both sides are nervously looking over their shoulder as they can both be caught by a single victory by the teams below them. Valencia have been struggling and have lost 3 of their last 4 matches, while Mallorca have won 3 of their last 4 but have won their last 3 on the bounce at home. This looks like a strong home win in my book.

Girona vs Betis

Betis are fighting to hold onto 5th place and a spot in next season’s Europa League, while Girona’s season is largely done and dusted in mid-table. Betis aren’t looking strong despite their La Liga placing, as they have just 1 win in their last 10 matches.

Girona have lost just 1 of their last 5 matches, conceding just 3 goals and earning a magnificent 1-1 draw away to Real Madrid in their last match. With Girona winning 3 of their last 4 home matches and Betis being winless in their last 5 on the road, this looks like a clear win for the home side.

Real Madrid vs Alaves

Real Madrid are 9 points above 3rd-place Villareal and 9 points behind log-leaders Barcelona, and after a good winning run in La Liga they have just 1 point from their last 2 matches. Alaves are 1 point above the relegation zone and will be motivated to get something out of this match.

Real lost home and away to Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarter-final after a 5-match winning streak, and their last 4 matches have seen them lose 3 and draw 1 match. Alaves are unbeaten in 4 matches, although pulling in just 1 win from that stretch of matches.

The romantic in me is pulling for Alaves to down the mighty Real Madrid to take advantage of their minor late-season blip, but Real are such a force to be reckoned with and they are likely to punish Alaves as a way of pulling themselves back onto the winning track. Still, with Alaves pushing to save their skins and Real in poor form it makes sense to back a goal glut, which would align with any of the possible 3 match results.

Verdict

Spanish La Liga

Athletic Bilbao and Osasuna to end with honours even, while it's wins for Mallorca and Girona. There are so many unknowns in the Real Madrid-Alaves clash that the wise money is backing a glut of goals.
