Barcelona took advantage of Real Madrid’s absence and Valencia’s slip up with a 4-0 destruction of Deportivo this weekend to stretch the gap at the top..
Betting tips on a return of La Liga title to the Camp Nou are looking good as the Catalans moved six points clear of second and 11 ahead of Los Blancos.
Barcelona 4-0 Deportivo La Coruna
This was a game in which only generous handicap betting offers could even things out and yet Depor got off lightly. Barca hit the woodwork five times.Lionel Messi missed a penalty but two goals each for Luis Suarez and Paulinho were quite enough.
Atletico Madrid 1-0 Alaves
Diego Simeone’s Atletico are up to second thanks to a Fernando Torres goal which came from Sime Vrsaljko’s cross to earn them the three points. It could have been more as the hosts dominated possession but Alaves stuck to their task, holding out until the 74th minute. One goal is enough though.
Eibar 2-1 Valencia
It was a surprise defeat for Valencia which let Atletico in to second place, although Eibar are no mugs and have their sights set on a Europa spot. Inui put the hosts ahead, and after Santi Misa equalised for the visitors, Joan Jordan headed home a late winner.
Sevilla 0-0 Levante
First game of Week 16 saw the return of Eduardo Berizzo to the Ramon Sanchez Stadium after undergoing hospital treatment.Unfortunately, his Sevilla team couldn’t welcome him back with a win as Levante frustrated the toothless hosts.
Celta Vigo 0-1 Villarreal
The Yellow Submarine surfaced from a run of three defeats, in all competitions, to grab a welcome win at Balaidos. Javi Calleja scored the only goals of the game in the 34th minute to keep Villarreal in sixth.
Girona 1-0 Getafe
Girona leapfrogged Getafe into seventh place, and only a point off the Europa spots, after Cristhian Stuani bagged his ninth goal of the season with a superb header from a Johan Mojica cross. Manchester City’s sister club is doing the business!
Athletic Club 0-0 Real Sociedad
Honours even in a war of attrition in the Basque derby after Athletic Club managed to keep out their more ambitious visitors. The stalemate leaves these two 13th and tenth, respectively,but just two points apart in a congested mid table.
Las Palmas 2-2 Espanyol
Las Palmas showed some of the fight they’ll need to survive this season in the dying minutes after Gerard Moreno scored twice to put Espanyol in charge. Loic Remy gave the hosts hope on 81st before Jonathan Calleri send the home crowd wild. They’d have been even wilder had Jonathan Viera converted a last gasp penalty!
