Osasuna look like good value in this one - roundabout 4.00. But I'm basing that purely on the stats available. I haven't managed to find any team news yet - does anyone know anything?

My other query is whether Osasuna would get a UEFA Cup spot if they finished fifth. If not, then I think I'd leave this alone. But if they would do, I think that would give them the extra motivation to counterbalance Celta Vigo's inevitable 'battling-against-relegation' spirit.

I don't think that osasuna will win this one. I heard some rumours that the game is being fixed for celta. I don't know if thats true but it came from the same source that told me about bologna. You can't find bologna nowhere on the web so...

maybe just rumours

As far as I know 5th and 6th are UEFA spots, especially since they are highlighted here www.lfp.es/.

From this list I'd prolly go for Real Madrid at home and Racing Santander home, both at even money.

Real Madrid must win it to stay ahead of Valencia and even if they had 'La liga' in the pocket they would be up for this one cause its home against Barca.

Racing Santander have been decent enough home, and Albacete is the second worst away team apart from Murcia. Both i think will stay clear of relegation which will make it sway to the home team. (The home advantage seems a lot stronger in Spanish league then in English).

On that note, i have not checked for injuries so that might be worth some effort before punting.

Thanks for the info about the Celta game. Nothing much is happening odds-wise at the moment - there's been a very slightly shortening of Celta's odds in just a couple of places, but that's it. And there are still loads of bookies offering the game.

Valladolid's recent record record against Mallorca is'nt very good Mallorca have not lost to their hosts in the last 6 encounters

Betis Sevilla – San Sebastian
OVER 2.5 @ 1.90 Fonbet
11. Real Bétis Sevilla 33 10 13 10 40:37 43
12. Real Sociedad 33 10 10 13 39:45 40

The last 3 games between this two teams ended all with an OVER 2.5. The first leg this season Sevilla won 4-0. Last year won at home 3-2 against Sociedad. For this is an OVER really good to bet.

Celta Vigo – Osasuna
Osasuna to score @ 1.45
19. Celta de Vigo 33 7 12 14 43:60 33
6. CA Osasuna 33 11 15 7 36:30 48

Celta won last weekend 2-0 against Albacete. At home Celta is the worst team of the league. They have only a 2-4-10 and 13-36 goals. Osasuna could not score only in 6 of 33 games.

Sevilla looks good for me at Zaragoza. With a safe option on 0.0AH @2.125. Zaragoza has three defenders suspended for this match Milito, Cuartero, Alvaro. Sevilla after a good win last week (5-2) will be unchanged with Baptista in front (scorer of 4 in last game) for Silva.
Teams:
Zaragoza: Dani, Villa, Savio, Movilla, Generelo, Galletti, David, Pirri, Toledo, Rebosio, Ponzio, Láinez.
Sevilla:Antoñito, Baptista, A. López, Casquero, Martí, Alves,
David, Alfaro, Navarro, Redondo, Esteban.

Im on Barcelona in this hot derby game. Real not at their best at the moment. At home 1-1-1 in last three games.
Raul (who in my opinion is out of form) will play role of lonely striker as Ronaldo is out.
Barca one of the hottest teams in Europe. No lose in 15 games and Im sure they can make a hat-trick after winning in Valencia and Deportivo. Puyol and Garcia are out.
I watched last game Barcelona defeating Malaga 3-0 and they were awesome. And Ronaldinho? Pure magic.
Everything to play for as if they win and Valencia dont win in Bilbao they still got small chance for the title.
I took Barca on -0.5AH @1.8 at bet365 earlier on but already cut to -0.25 @2.05.
GB still has -0.5 @1.71
Teams:
Real: Raúl, Solari, Zidane, Figo, Cambiasso, Beckham, Roberto Carlos, Raúl Bravo, Helguera, Salgado, Casillas.
Barcelona: Saviola, Ronaldinho, Luis Enrique, Davids, Cocu, Xavi, Van Bronckhorst, Oleguer, Puyol, Reiziger, Valdés.

What a game!!! Half time in the Madrid Barca game and some of the most amazing goal line clearances I've ever seen!

In running prices at Betfair

Madrid 2.36

Barca 5.2

Draw 2.52

Surely it can't stay goalless? I fancy the draw though. Maybe 1-1 as Barca have had their chances.

top call Heniek

i took this away win with large stake but got greedy adding Porto and Rosenborg.....

Viking new coach making some fans in Norway with that one!

Cheers Galea .

Well what a game. I lost couple of pounds of my body fluid but was worth it in the end.
Real played great football in the first half and those three or four clearance of the line was bad luck. 14 attempts for Real and 6 for Barca says all.
Goal of Solari cancelled Kluivert in 1 minute of coming as a sub. Turning point was sending off Figo in second half. Great pass from Ronaldinho was enough to wrap the game up.
Now everything is open. Just lets hope Valencia got beaten and we will have a few very tense weeks on the top of La Liga.

Lucky goal in 90' saved us money in 8 goal thriller in Zaragoza :p .

1-1 at the moment

the valencia team is tame (tonight) and + .5 for Ath Bil to win always looked tempting as Bilbao have top home record

would be tempted with live bet on Athletic

Real V Barca was an excellent game! Valdes has never had a better game...

Not seen any of the Zaragoza goal fest but will be hoping to catch highlights shortly.
