Spanish Match Previews – Osasuna vs Atletico Madrid, Barcelona vs Rayo Vallecano, Granada vs Levante

Atletico Madrid travel to the Estadio El Sadar this Sunday to face an Osasuna side who need a win to push themselves clear of the relegation zone.  Atletico are currently third, just four points behind Real Madrid and having exited the Europa League unexpectedly, they can focus on finishing second in the Spanish Primera.  Osasuna are 15th, just 4 points clear of relegation and although a win won’t improve their league position, it will give them a very good chance of avoiding a relegation battle.

Current form:

Osasuna – L L W W D W L

Atletico Madrid – L D D W W W L

Both teams are in good form and have very good defensive records, the main issue Osasuna has is the number of goals they score (scored just 23 goals in 27 games).  Atletico have scored 48 goals in 27 games and conceded just 24.  Bookmakers side with Atletico.

Current betting odds: Osasuna (11/4) Draw (12/5) Atletico Madrid (1/1)

Gamingtips Prediction – Osasuna 0:2 Atletico Madrid

Barcelona vs Rayo Vallecano

Rayo Vallecano travel to the Nou Camp this Sunday to face a Barcelona side who managed to defeat Milan 4:0 midweek and secure their place in the Quarter finals of the Champions League.  Rayo Vallecano are currently 9th in the Spanish Primera and a win will see them go into a Europa League position.  Barcelona are currently 10 points clear at the top of the table with seemingly no worries regarding the Spanish Primera title.

Current form:

Barcelona – W W L L W L W

Rayo Vallecano – W D L L W L W

Barcelona’s three defeats came against Real Madrice (twice) and Milan.  Vallecano have been in reasonable form; They defeated third placed side Atletico Madrid and Espanyol last time out.  The main stat to focus on is the number of goals scored this season – Barcelona 85 in 27 games, Vallecano 36 in 27.  Bookmakers strongly side with Barcelona even though Rayo Vallecano have shown they are a decent side.

Current betting odds: Barcelona (1/9) Draw (8/1) Rayo Vallecano (20/1)

Gamingtips Prediction – Barcelona 3:1 Rayo Vallecano

This match gets underway at 20:00 GMT+0

Granada vs Levante

Levante travel to the Estadio Nuevo Los Cármenes in an interesting match that can push Granada clear of the relegation zone or Levante closer to a Europa League position.  Granada are currently 16th, just three points clear of the relegation zone, Levante are 10th, just 7 points off a Europa League placing.

Current form:

Granada – D L L L W W L

Levante – L D D D L W D

Both teams are out of form and Levante have to deal with going out of the Europa League just three days ago in extra time at the hands of Rubin Kazan.  Neither side score many goals in the Spanish Primera (Granada scored 25 in 27 matches, Levante scored 32 in 27 matches)  and although they concede a similar number of goals bookmakers have made Granada favourites based on the fact that Levante traveled to Russia just three days ago and were forced to play extra time.

Current betting odds: Granada (19/20) Draw (23/10) Levante (3/1)

Gamingtips Prediction – Granada 1:1 Levante

This match gets underway at 20:00 GMT+0.
