A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser
Football: Spanish La Liga
16th February 2019 – Kickoff time 20:45 [Barcelona, Spain Time]
Introduction :
Leaders Barcelona welcomes the visit of Valladolid in 15th spot.
The visitors are out of form and have won just one of their last ten games in all competitions and needless to say that the Catalans are favourite to win this match.
Barcelona
After winning just three La Liga games in nine matches, Barcelona have rediscovered their form by winning eight of their last ten matches. However they have not won their last two games as they have drawn against Valencia and Athletic Bilbao.
In their last ten matches Barcelona kept seven clean sheets and they are on course to win their fourth La Liga title in the last five seasons. They are six points clear at the top with nearest rivals Real Madrid in second spot.
Barcelona have won four out of their last six home games. In their last three home games they beat Eibar 3-0, beat Leganes by 3-1 and drew with Valencia 2-2, where they had to come back from two goals down in that match.
In that match Lionel Messi scored two goals so the player to watch here will once again be him as he continues his devastating goalscoring form. He is back to full fitness after a thigh injury.
Valladolid:
Valladolid have won just one of their last eight La Liga games and just two in fourteen games and they are three places above the relegation zone.
On their travels Valladolid have managed just one win in six games played away from home and are huge underdogs in this match. In their last three away games, they drew with Valencia 1-1, lost to Levante 2-0 and beat Huesca 4-0.
The player to watch for them will be former Real Madrid youth player Oscar Plano who has scored four goals this season for them.
Past Meetings:
When they met in August, it was Ousmane Dembele's goal that made the difference.
For the record, Valladolid have lost on each of their last five visits to the Camp Nou and we have to go back to 2003 for the last time they avoided defeat there.
The Pick:
Go for Barcelona and give the 2 1/4 ball Asian Handicap.
