Real Madrid vs Valencia – Saturday, 11pm
High flying Madrid are out for a sixth successive win in all competitions and they face a Valencia side who have only managed two wins from their opening 10 games this season.
Kylian Mbappe was on target in the last game, bringing his tally to 11 goals, five more than the closest challenger. The visitors are without a win in their last six outings and are buried in the relegation zone with nine points.
Madrid are tipped to win convincingly with the odds in their favor at 1.21.
Barcelona vs Elche – Sunday, 8:30pm
Elche’ return to the Spanish top flight has been impressive as they sit in eighth place with 14 points. They come up against a Barca side who are unbeaten at home and are desperate to bounce back following their El Clasico defeat.
Hansi Flick’s side are averaging two goals at home and this should be an easy win. The best bet is Barcelona to win at 1.22 odds and with goals expected, over 2.5 goals at 1.35 odds provides a worthy alternative.
