Following on from the Talavera bet above, the team currently in 4th and level on points with them is Ferrol, who are away to Atletico Madrid B. Atletico B are 5th from bottom, which is a relegation play-off place, so they badly need the points too.

Atletico B's home record is a fairly poor 7-4-7, while Ferrol away from home are very hard to beat, 7-9-2. One key piece of team news though is that since Atletico Madrid's first team keeper Leo Franco is out for tonight's game v Barcelona, the B team keeper Roberto will be on the bench for the first team, meaning they'll have the B team's 2nd choice keeper in goal tonight.

Am going to wait just until the final score is confirmed from the Talavera game, but last I saw, with 18 minutes to go, Talavera were winning 1-0. Unless that changes, it's going to mean that Ferrol will temporarily drop out of the play off zone, and only a win would be good enough to get back into it. Only one game left after today, and Talavera's looks winnable, home to mid-table Leganes who have nothing to play for. Ferrol's last game is at home to relegation threatened Celta B. Basically, if Talavera hang on to their lead then this becomes a must-win game for Ferrol, and I fancy them to do it.

Actually, in the time I've been typing this, it's been confirmed, Talavera won 1-0.
