LA LIGA


I am interested in three matches in Spain today.

First up Atletico Madrid, who, following a disappointing sequence of results, got back on track last week, with a 3-1 win over Villarreal. Victory today could take them into one of the coveted Champions League spots.

Fernando Torres and Sergio Aguero will continue up front and could have plenty of joy against the hosts defence missing Alvaro and Alexis, who are both suspended.

Going to give one final chance to Real Sociedad to kick start their season, they face a Real Betis side, who are yet to register a point on the road.

With tough trips to Barcelona and Atletico up shortly, anything less than 3 points today, will leave them with a mountain to climb at the foot of the table.

Finally, I am going to oppose Barcelona, who travel to the island for a meeting with Mallorca, who boast the meanest defence in La Liga, having only conceded six goals all season.

The European champions have a vital Champions League tie in midweek and with a squad missing a host of star names, they can ill afford any further injuries.

5 points Atletico Madrid level ball asian line 1.75
4 points Real Sociedad -1/4 ball asian line 2.22
4 points Mallorca +3/4 ball asian line 2.02

Good Luck.
