La Liga: Barcelona in "hostile" territory. (Sunday 1/14/18) Betting Preview

Source

Alaves –Sevilla

Alaves: She is coming from a “clean” defeat in the derby de Basques from Atletico Bilbao (2-0). One goal came from a corner at 8’ and the second from a non-existent penalty at 64’. On Wednesday she won in a cup game the weak Formentera (2-0). Good addition for the attack with the Swedish Guidetti (Celta) and there are more on the way. Center back Alexis is grounded (17/1), winger Burgui (13/1) is injured.

Sevilla: Worst possible debut for Montella, got destroyed from Betis (3-5) in the great derby of the city. “Crazy” game, disappointing defensive behavior, score could be even bigger. On Thursday she waits Cadiz for Copa del Ray. Second worse away defense in Primera but is looking for a forward in the transfer market. Midfielder Pizzaro returns.

Verdict: Sevilla playes bad defense away and has bad approach to the game. Alaves is well, comes from victories in her home and her latest addition strengthens her further. We go towards 1 DNB(2.2)

Espanyol – Atletico Bilbao

Espanyol: First double for the season 0-1 against Malaga. She took the lead at 6’ and kept it relatively easy. On Thursday she will face Levante for the cup and try to come back from an 1-2 loss in the first game. Most under in the league (12) 6 consecutive in her home games. David Lopez (MF/CB 18/0) and Fuego (MF 16/0) are grounded.

Bilbao: Over two months since her last defeat (3-4-0), seems able to claim a European ticket. Fair 2-0 against Alaves, fast goal at 8’ changed the whole game and match ended with a fake penalty at 64’. She managed to score in the 6/7 last away games. Center back Lopez is back (17/0), knock-out for back-midfielder De Marcos(7/0).

Verdict: Both are in a good form. Espanyol has also the advantage of tradition (20 years) but is more tired from the cup game, which may take some of her energy. X(3.25).

Real Sociedad – Barcelona

Sociedad: “Cheap” loss from Leganes (1-0), bad reaction from the defense. Manager Eusebio under pressure with only one win in the last 7 games (1-3-3). Winger Yanuzaj returns (12/2), valuable center back I. Martinez is out (11/1).

Barcelona: She will meet Celta for the cup for the second leg (1-1 the first) on Thursday night. In her last game she won Levante easy (3-0) with the return of Debele after his serious injure and only moments after the announcement of Coutinhio from Liverpool (120+40 mil). The Brazilian is ready but will not play as well as center back Umtiti. On the other hand Busquets and Alcazer.

Verdict: “Anoeta” is a very special stadium for Barcelona, she has not win there for 10 years in the league. Unfortunately Sociedad doesn’t look good at the moment to look for the surprise. Alternative betting with goals 2-3 goals(2.15)

We wish you good luck whatever you may chose.!
