Spanish La Liga Game Preview -- Alaves vs RCD Espanyol

 

 

Pick:1x2   Alaves  @2.05

 

Analysis:

On Wednesday, Alaves will face Espanyol in an attempt to keep their slender survival hopes alive.

 

Alaves

Alaves went to Celta Vigo over the weekend and came away empty-handed, losing 4-0. The team have had a particularly difficult season for finishing in the relegation zone with only five victories and 22 points from 31 league appearances. They are now bottom of La Liga, six points away of safety, with only three games remaining.

 

RCD Espanyol

Nico Melamed's second-half equalizer earned Espanyol a 1-1 draw against Osasuna. Espanyol has likewise been far better at home than on the road this season, winning just one of their 17 league games away from home. The 14th-placed team do have the advantage of an eight-point lead over the relegation zone, and a win on Wednesday will ensure their top-flight position for next season.

 

Prediction

This game is far more important for Alaves, and we anticipate them to take advantage of their home court and score a crucial three-pointer, putting them in contention to escape relegation to the Segunda Division next season.

Spanish La Liga - Real Sociedad Vs FC Barcelona

 

 

Pick:1x2   FC Barcelona @2.20

  OU    Under (2.5) @2.00

 

Analysis:

Real Sociedad goes head to head against FC Barcelona on Thursday.

 

Real Sociedad

Real Sociedad lost a great chance to get into La Liga's top Five, even with a goalless draw against Real Betis extending their unbeaten league run(W3, D2). Qualifying for Europe for the third time running looks as difficult as ever, and they find it difficult to win against big teams this season including Barcelona 4-2. Extending that would give them their first LL clean sheet against Barcelona since a 1-0 win in April 2016, which was also the last time Sociedad won a league H2H.

 

FC Barcelona

Saw two defeats in their last two matches, with the UEFA Europa League loss to Frankfurt earlier this month has made the league their only way to the Champion League for next season. The recent loss against Cadiz was 1-0 halted an unbeaten 15 game(W11, D4).

Barcelona has won more away games so far under Xavi and securing the win means a lot to the club, trophyless this season again.

 

Prediction

Real Sociedad has been defeated by Barcelona in their last four meetings but teams have had difficulties in scoring in their last match.

 

 

Spanish La Liga - Atletico Madrid vs Granada CF

 

 

Pick:1x2   Atletico Madrid @1.30

 

Analysis:

Granada CF will take a trip to Wanda Metropolitano for Spanish La Liga Round 33 this week.

 

Atletico Madrid

Thanks to Yannick Carasco's late penalty in the last game, they survive Espanyol. It is surprising that they quickly recovered from the Champions League elimination, and, no doubt, Sunday's triumph gave them a confidence boost. Midfielder Kondogbia serves a one-game ban, while both Luis Suarez and Antoine Griezmann are pushing for a start.

 

Granada CF

Los Granadinos suffered a heavy 4-1 loss to Levante at the weekend, with the team remaining in the danger zone. The Andalusian outfit aim to get back on course as soon as possible, but seeing that Atletico have turned their Wanda Metropolitano into a real fortress. German Sanchez misses out through suspension, while all Raul Torrente, Ruben Rochina, and Carlos Neva are sidelined with injuries.

 

Verdict:

As Atletico Madrid have been knocked out of UEFA Champions League, they will put all their efforts on the League since now. And they have a home advantage. We expect to see a high score victory for Atletico Madrid.
