08/12/20 1994

The new season in the Spanish La Liga has started rather interesting as Atlético Madrid are on the top leading by 6 points and one match less to the 4th Real Madrid and whole 12 points to the 10th placed Barcelona.

Valencia CF - Athletic Bilbao

Two teams who have been rather inconsistent lately will face each other on Saturday in an expected draw.

Not the expected start for both Valencia CF and Athletic Bilbao, who are now very close to the relegation zone and must start winning.

• Valencia CF have achieved just 1 wins in their 8 most recent games in La Liga.
• Valencia CF have achieved 3 draws in their last 5 games in La Liga.
• Athletic Bilbao have won only 1 of their last 7 away La Liga matches.
• In their last 7 away games in La Liga, Athletic Bilbao have recorded a total of 5 losses.
• Prediction: Draw @ 3.20

SD Huesca - Deportivo Alavés

SD Huesca returned to the Spanish top-flight just to be near another relegation this season, as the team is now on the last place in the standing still looking for a first win.

On Saturday they will face Deportivo Alavés, who managed to remain undefeated in their 6 most recent matches.

• SD Huesca have scored an average of 0.92 goals in their league games.
• SD Huesca score an average of 0.60 goals in their home La Liga matches.
• Deportivo Alavés are on an unbeaten run of 6 games in their La Liga participation.
• Deportivo Alavés score an average of 0.92 goals in their matches in La Liga.
• Prediction: Under 2.5 goals @ 1.66

FC Barcelona - Levante UD

Last time out FC Barcelona was surprisingly defeated by the newbie Cadiz CF, which deserves respect.

During the week the home side will face Juventus FC in a tough last group match of the UCL, so they will be looking somehow to leapfrog a second league defeat on the weekend.

• Barcelona have won all of their last 3 home matches in all competitions.
• In their last 33 home games in all competitions, FC Barcelona have managed to win a total of 25.
• Levante are undefeated in their last 6 league games.
• There are 7 consecutive away La Liga matches that finished in draws at half time in Levante UD's record.
• Prediction: FC Barcelona @ 1.23

Real Sociedad - SD Eibar

Real Sociedad started the new season in a rather promising way, currenly being on the 2nd spot, but having played 12 matches.

In order to remain in the top 6, they will have to stop their four-matches-draw record and take the three points against SD Eibar on Sunday.

• Real Sociedad have won by 3+ goals 5 of their last 10 matches in La Liga.
• A period of 8 straight games without a defeat marks the all competitions campaign of Real Sociedad.
• Eibar haven't lost in 7 of their last 8 games in La Liga.
• In SD Eibar's last 3 La Liga matches, they have managed to keep a clean sheet.
• Prediction: Real Sociedad @ 1.55
