Analysis:

The match between FC Barcelona and Atletico Madrid on Sunday will be fantastic.

They are both in top shape and setting unbroken records. Atletico Madrid are on a winning streak. Two of FC Barcelona's games were drawn. FC Barcelona defeated CF Intercity in overtime of the most recent cup match. Lewandowski's absence obviously affects them.

Rayo Vallecano

Rayo Vallecano have been in good forms this season, with taking 6 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses after 13 rounds. Now they rank 8th with 21 points in the standings.

Spanish La Liga / Rayo Vallecano vs Real Madrid

 

 

Analysis:

The La Liga match at Campo de Fútbol de Vallecas on Monday sees home side Rayo Vallecano welcome opponents Real Madrid.

 

Rayo Vallecano

Rayo Vallecano are currently in ninth place in the La Liga standings and have punched above their weight so far this season. The home side edged Sevilla to an important 1-0 victory last week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.

 

Real Madrid

Real Madrid, on the other hand, are at the top of the league table at the moment and have been in impressive form on the domestic front. Los Blancos thrashed Celtic by a 5-1 margin in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.

 

Verdict:

Rayo Vallecano are perfectly capable of pulling off an upset on their day and stunned Sevilla last week. Real Madrid are the better team on paper, however, and should be able to win this game.

 

Away win

 

Spanish La Liga - Girona vs Athletic Bilbao

 

 

Analysis:

Spanish La Liga round 13 will kick off at Municipal de Montilivi on Friday.

 

Girona

The fact that they tied Real Madrid in the most recent match and earned a point for themselves might be seen as a progress, though they have gone seven matches without a win. Now they rank seventeenth at the table of the league.

 

Athletic Bilbao

In their most recent match, they defeated Villarreal 1-0 to stop their winless streak. They are sixth in the league table presently. It's interesting to note that Athletic Bilbao have won all the game that they scored first.

 

Conclusion

While Athletic Bilbao are recovering, Girona are still adjusting. Athletic Bilbao outperforms Girona in terms of offense and defense statistics. You’d better place your bet on away win.

 

Pick: 2

 

Athletic Bilbao To Score First

Spanish La Liga - Mallorca vs RCD Espanyol

 

 

Analysis:

Son Moix will hold a game between Mallorca and RCD Espanyol on Friday.

 

Mallorca

Javier Aguirre's next task is to strengthen the team's offense because their defense is good enough, giving up 1.09 goals on average. They have scored nine goals so far. The main reason they only place 12th at the table is because of this.

 

RCD Espanyol

They do not perform well this season, getting 2W-4D-5L. Both of the victories finished with a one-goal lead. Jose Luis Sanmartin Mat has surprised everyone by scoring 7 goals for the team this season. He deserves our attention.

 

Conclusion

After recently defeating Valencia 1-2, Mallorca have now started winning again. Espanyol, on the other hand, are having a winless record. Additionally, Mallorca have the home advantage. Thus the victory is tending to the host.

 

Pick: 1

 

Jose Luis Sanmartin Mat to Score: Y
