La Liga Betting Preview: Madrid need to win and Sociedad will sink Barcelona

Real Madrid v Bilbao, another tough night for Real Madrid.

Real Madrid are third but in their case the standings flatter them. Yes, they are only 3 points behind the leaders but the reality is that their football is more boring than being stuck without a phone battery in the middle of a traffic jam.

Los Blancos are too inconsistent to rely on. They can beat Atletico 2-0 days before a defeat to Cadiz. They are unpredictable in the worst kind of way. 

Bilbao however are dull and this should be a win for Los Blancos. It might perhaps come with a little help from their friend, VAR, but we can’t see beyond an important victory for Zinedine Zidane. 

Correct result: Real Madrid 1 – 0 Bilbao is yours at 6/1 or 7.00

Sergio Ramos scores first: 7/1 or 8.00 

Barcelona v Real Sociedad. A Royal surprise

If we say the words “tiki taka” the first team that comes to mind is probably Barça. But folks, there is a new sheriff in town and without a doubt right now the team that plays the best “tiki taka” in Spain is Real Sociedad. Sociedad played very well last season but since the arrival of David Silva they’ve taken it up a notch. His level of play is so incredible that some highlights are museum-standard

David Silva has more tricks up his sleeve than David Copperfield with a deck of cards.. Speaking of David Copperfield, did he make Leo Messi vanish this season? Without him Barcelona have less direction than Santa Claus in August. 

The signs are that Real Sociedad will take the points back to San Sebastian!

Real Sociedad for the win 3.75 / 1 or 4.75
