08-11-2007 La Liga Betting - Matchday 12 Preview

After an indifferent start to the new La Liga season, when his attitude and commitment were both called in to question, Ronaldinho, the world’s most famous player looks like returning to form. The Brazilian scored twice in last weekend’s win over Real Betis, then gave a master class in attacking play as Barcelona beat Glasgow Rangers at the Nou Camp on Wednesday, and took a giant step toward the knockout phase. Check out PinnacleSports.com for up to 60% better La Liga betting odds for Barca’s game this weekend away to Getafe.

Rijkaard & Laudrup - Old Foes Look to Out-Think Each Other

Two famous European veteran players face each other on Saturday night, as Frank Rijkaard leads Barcelona to South Madrid, taking on Michael Laudrup’s Getafe. Both sides are involved in European competition, but with a smaller squad Laudrup will be grateful for a rest week from the UEFA Cup, while the Blaugra have three days to prepare for this game after their impressive 2-0 win over Rangers.

Both Messi and Henry got on the score-sheet, while Ronaldinho orchestrated play, continuing his return to form. Though Barca are playing exciting football, they are still suffering from injury problems, with Deco, Zambrotta and Marquez just a few of their casualties. In five away games the Catalans have won just once, so this game is far from a foregone conclusion. Getafe have won four of their last five fixtures, and having lost just once this season at the tiny Coliseum Alfonso Perez, boast La Liga’s best home defensive record. Nevertheless, PinnacleSports.com price Barcelona favourites 2.10 (-1) with Getafe 1.833 (+1).

Yellow Submarine Close to Breaching Top of La Liga

The one game from this weekend’s La Liga schedule most likely to produce goals, has to be the clash between Villarreal and Sevilla. The sides’ last six games in the Spanish league have average a massive 4.5 goals, which makes PinnacleSports.com’s price for Over 2.5 goals of 1.877, very appealing indeed. Both sides were involved in midweek European action, so tired legs could contribute to potential for goals. Villarreal have the opportunity to go top, should Barca or Real Madrid fail to win their respective fixtures.

Visitors, Sevilla will however be in exceptionally buoyant mood. Last weekend they beat Real Madrid 2-0, then produced a similar score-line to win away to Bucharest in Wednesday night’s Champions League tie. Far from unsettling the team, the departure of Juande Ramos to Spurs seems to have brought about a positive reaction from the squad, who have now won five of their last six fixtures in all competition. The Yellow Submarine are seeking a fifth straight home win, having already put Barcelona to the sword, and are starting to be considered as credible title challengers. PinnacleSports.com price Villarreal 2.08 (0/scratch & -0.5) with Sevilla 1.855 (0/scratch & +0.5).
