Blues to Fall Deeper into Relegation Mire

Villarreal suffered an upset 0-2 loss at Getafe in the 13th round of the Spanish Primera Division but one expects that the Yellow Submarine will sink the Deep Blues on Sunday.

Getafe has accrued just two points from its last 11 Spanish Primera Division games to slide into the relegation zone and, if the Deep Blues are going to save themselves from dropping out of the top flight, it is highly unlikely to be away from home. Getafe has defeated only one current Spanish Primera Division team on its travels since November 2014 and each of its last five league road trips has resulted in a loss to nil – four of them by three or more goals. Opposing Getafe in Spanish Primera Division away games has proven to be a licence to print money for quite some time and, on all known form, the Deep Blues should fail at Villarreal.

According to one’s Spanish Primera Division collateral form analysis, Villarreal enjoys a 13-3-3 advantage over Getafe, with the Yellow Submarine leading the Deep Blues 10-1-1 in matches featuring the top 12 sides. Villarreal has served up a few Spanish Primera Division shockers – it has lost at two of the bottom three teams, Getafe and Levante – but the bulk of the Yellow Submarine’s form is several levels above that of Getafe and odds of 1.57Bet €100 to win €15757/100Bet £100 to win £157-175Bet $100 to win $1570.57Bet HK$100 to win HK$157-1.75Bet Rp100 to win Rp1570.5700Bet RM100 to win RM157  with Coral about a home win rate as being somewhat generous given the woes of the Deep Blues.

One thinks that the route to Spanish Primera Division profit in the 32nd round of games is to focus on the leading sides, with Barcelona and Atletico Madrid rounding out one’s picks.

Barcelona is a backable price to win at Sociedad on Saturday because William Hill is listing Barca at odds of 1.55Bet €100 to win €15511/20Bet £100 to win £155-182Bet $100 to win $1550.55Bet HK$100 to win HK$155-1.82Bet Rp100 to win Rp1550.5500Bet RM100 to win RM155  for their 25th victory in 32 Spanish Primera Division matches.

One’s Spanish Primera Division collateral form analysis has Barcelona holding a 15-0-4 lead over Sociedad and November’s reverse fixture resulted in a 4-0 home triumph for Barca in which Neymar bagged a brace and Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez scored singles. Barcelona has outperformed Sociedad against each of the Spanish Primera Division’s best five teams and eight of the league’s top nine sides. Barcelona’s Spanish Primera Division goal difference is 64 better than that of Sociedad and one should not pass up the opportunity to back Barca at relatively attractive odds versus a mediocre team.

Atletico Madrid will back up from its UEFA Champions League date at Barcelona on Tuesday with a Spanish Primera Division game at Barca’s city rivals, Espanyol on Saturday. Atletico Madrid boasts a 16-0-3 Spanish Primera Division collateral form edge over Espanyol according to one’s number crunching, including a 1-0 home victory in November’s reverse fixture courtesy of Antoine Griezmann’s third-minute goal. They can complete a league double at 2.05Bet €100 to win €20521/20Bet £100 to win £205+105Bet $100 to win $2051.05Bet HK$100 to win HK$2051.05Bet Rp100 to win Rp205-0.9524Bet RM100 to win RM205  with Bet365, BetVictor and Coral

Espanyol has earned just two points from its eight Spanish Primera Division matches against top-six sides, whereas Atletico Madrid has won 13 of its 14 divisional games versus teams ranked no higher than Budgerigars on the ladder.
