Atletico Madrid are struggling to defend their title this season as they find themselves five points adrift of the league leaders and have only won one of their previous four league games, luckily for them they have a game in hand on the league leaders so they can get back into the title race.
Having drawn 3-3 with Valencia before the International break, Atletico will be determined to set things right here and look to pick up all three points. Atletico Madrid have beaten Osasuna on home soil in 8 of the previous 10 meetings, with Osasuna winning one and the other being a tie.
Osasuna have been massive overachievers this season and find themselves in 7th place, an unlikely win here would see them just one point behind Atletico in the league table. Although their recent form has dipped as they have only picked up two draws and two wins from their previous four games (a total of just 2 points from a possible 12).
We are happy to take a risk on Atletico -1.0 here as we are predicting a 2-0 victory for the home team and we believe worst-case scenario they win by one goal and we get a push. It’s not that we don’t like this Osasuna team, it’s more so the Atletico at a home angle and the fact they know they can’t afford to draw or lose this game if they want to assert their dominance in the league table.

This is arguably our favorite La Liga game of these three, it’s going to be a thriller with these two teams fighting in mid-table. Villarreal will most definitely feel they are underachieving this season as they linger down in 12th position. Celta Vigo are currently even lower, as they are in 15th position and three points behind Villarreal.
Vigo would like all three points here as to avoid falling into a relegation battle. The home side can take confidence from their unbelievable 3 goal comeback against Barcelona last time out to earn a 3-3 draw with the Catalan team.
Although Villarreal picked up their first league win in four games last time out, they can’t read too much into that as that came against bottom-placed Getafe, who everybody seems to be able to beat these days, even Celta’s last league victory came against the bottom place Getafe.
We see a little bit of value on both teams over 1.5 cards here at -110, the last time these teams met there were five yellows and one red card (as well as two red cards for players on the bench). Vigo have been averaging 2.2 cards per home game and Villarreal have picked up an average of 3 cards away from home.
Both teams have also allowed over 2 cards against per game. We are not quite sure if this will be a card feast with A.J Rojas as a referee but we think both teams should at least see two cards each.

This is a very important game for both these clubs, although we still have 24 matchdays remaining after today, both these teams are currently in a relegation battle and a win for Getafe would give them a glimmer of hope that they can avoid the drop as a win would put them just three points behind Cadiz.
On the flip side, a win for Cadiz would see them go nine points clear of Getafe and at least four points ahead of 17th place. There’s still a lot of football to be played but both these sides know their best opportunity for a win is against each other and a few other teams in the relegation battle.
For us, we are a little surprised to see Getafe -105 to win and Cadiz +400 to win, the value lies with Cadiz’s double chance for +100 with BetOnline. Interestingly none of the previous 10 h2hs have finished as a tie.
