Spanish football (Dec 15-16)

Yes but there is the little matter of a couple of UK matches that I'm going out to watch with some mates.


I'll keep trying betfair

RC,

What do you think of Racing Post's tip of Seville ?

SEVILLE'S 3-0 victory at Slavia Prague on Wednesday booked them a berth among the top seeds in the draw for the Champions League knockout stages and they can continue a domestic revival by bagging three points at Valladolid this evening.

The Juande Ramos saga badly affected Seville's form earlier this season, but Manuel Jimenez has inherited a talented squad and his charges are starting to show what they are made of.

Seville were impressive in their 3-1 victory over Arsenal at the end of November and they finally showed an appetite for the bread-and-butter games when securing a 3-1 La Liga success at home to Murcia last Sunday.

Despite their recent improvement Seville are 6-4 to beat Valladolid, who are hovering two points above the drop zone.
Recreativo have eased their relegation worries with victories at home to Real Zaragoza (2-1) and at Levante (2-0) and another three points are on the cards at home to Atletico Madrid.

Atletico are hampered by the absence of midfield duo Maniche (ban) and Thiago Motta (back).

In Serie A, improving Parma can net three points at home to injury-hitReggina, who have won one league match this term.

Recommendations
Seville, 2pts 6-4
Parma, 2pts 10-11
Recreativo Huelva, 1pt 11-5

Sorry for the late reply, Betfly, been out most of the day. Wouldn't much fancy backing Sevilla myself really. They're great in Europe, but in the domestic league they've taken just 4 points from 7 away games this season, and 3 of those were against Levante who are bottom. Valladolid at home have already held Madrid and Barcelona to draws and beaten Villarreal 2-0. None of the 3 possible outcomes for this one would really surprise me. Also worth noting Sevilla have lost 8 times this season, only Levante have lost more. If I were betting on this game I'd rather be on the 1X, I'd say.

Probably just as well if you didn't get those bets on today, ODM, laying the home side would've seen you down a bit today, backing the away sides left me slightly up though.

Sabadell 1-0 Denia
Marino 0-1 Real Madrid B

Hope you didn't go with Sevilla, Betfly Not a bad result for them really, seeing as they finished down to 9 men. Just watching the highlights now, one of the 6 yard boxes was like an ice rink

Any thoughts on the Real Madrid game anyone?

1.33 seems very short? are Osasuna really that bad?

Tempted with a lay at that price

[rcgills]

Price looks about right to me, Crazyfool. Madrid have a 100% record at home this season, and all the talk over here is of them wanting to win this one to guarantee the top spot ahead of the winter break, regardless of what happens next weekend in the game against Barcelona. Osasuna without quite a few players too, Juanfran and Javi García are ruled out by the terms of their contract, Puñal is banned and Pandiani is injured.

I'd certainly be very surprised if Madrid failed to win this one, and personally I'm on Madrid to win by 2 or more at 1.8.

You can get Real -1,5 @ 2.11 on Pinnacle. Seems good enough that for me.

excellent, cheers rcgills, i will certainly not be laying them then!!

I see Madrid are being backed still, into 1.3 now at betfair
