La Liga winners in 2016 remain undecided as both Spanish giants seized victory. Atletico gave up on title-dreams.

The 37th round of La Liga had everything that football has to offer: easy wins for the title-favourites, exciting derby between a great team and another favourite and a surprising defeat for the third most likely La Liga Winners.

As usual in the last two rounds of La Liga, all 10 games are played at the same time in order to make things even more exciting as well as decrease the possibility of football championship cheats.

Before this round, the most popular to the question „Who is going to win La Liga?” was obviously FC Barcelona at all La Liga betting sites. The Blaugrana hosted city-rival Espanyol in the 37th round and it was expected to be a great battle between two ancient rivals.

However, Espanyol failed to stop Luiz Enrique’s men: the home-team easily trashed Espanyol by 5-0 at Camp Nou. Messi scored the first goal in the 8th minute and the half time result was 1-0. Espanyol gave up in the second half: Suarez scored a double in the 52nd and 61st minutes of the game, then Rafinha and Neymar also scored respectively in the 74th and 83rd minutes. We can see at sports scores news that the final result is 5-0 which means even better Barcelona odds to win La Liga.

Atletico won’t be La Liga winners in 2016!

The second favorite to win La Liga was Atletico de Madrid, according to most online gambling news in Spain. The capital-based team visited Valencia-based Levante. A team that has already relegated and are staying in the last position. It seemed to be the easiest possible game.

Especially that the Rojiblancos took the lead as early as the 2nd minute, thanks to a great goal by Torres. However, UD Levante managed to equalize in the 30th minute by Casadesus. In addition, they even managed to turn the game over as Rossi scored a winning goal in the 90th minute. Atletico seem to have a habit of letting go of titles in the last seconds of their important games… Because this defeat against Levante means their exit of the race for La Liga title.

Real Madrid will need a miracle to be La Liga winners this season…

The biggest derby and most difficult game out of the 3 title-candidates was unquestionably played by Real Madrid. The Royal Club hosted Valencia at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu. They were in the worst position before the games began as they were 1 point behind both Barcelona and Atletico, and their only hope in the last 2 rounds was both teams to fail. Atletico did so…

Real Madrid took the lead in the 26th minute with Cristiano Ronaldo’s terrific shot just outside the penalty area. The capital-side created many chances and Diego Alves was the only person who kept up the Valencian hopes of stealing points from Zidane’s men and hence their wish to win the league.

However, not even Alves managed to save his team in the 42nd minute, when Benzema scored his team’s second goal. He was offside at one occasion just before the goal, so the referee made a mistake in allowing this goal. The half time result was 2-0, and in order to make the game exciting again, Rodrigo scored in the 55th minute, 2-1.

However, Cristiano Ronaldo did not wish to give up on Real Madrid chances to win La Liga: He scored only 4 minutes later. André Gomes, who came on as a substitute, scored another goal for Valencia to change the result to 3-2, however, Rodrigo took away his team’s chances when he said something wrong for which he was immediately sent off by Fernandez Borbalan.

The referee was main character once again when he disallowed Danilo’s goal, which was a result of the great architecting work of Alvaro Arbeloa, who came on as a substitute. The home-grown player of Real Madrid played his very last game at Santiago Bernabéu as he will retire at the end of the season.

As we can see, live sports results see Atlético de Madrid out of the race for La Liga, while Real Madrid took over their place in the second position. A great miracle should happen for Real Madrid to win La Liga as Barca need to lose points in Granada in the last round while the Galacticos still need to win their last game. Which, by the way, would be their 12th league win in a row.

In the Spanish La Liga, BBC and MSN all scored last weekend. It was the first time ever that all players from the Real Madrid and Barcelona forward-lines have found the net.

BBC and MSN all scored 89 goals so far in the league season. Real Madrid’s BBC has a tally of 45, while Barca’s forwards racked up 44 goals. However, that was the first time that these six players have scored on the same league matchday. And this was massive for one online betting player.

Barcelona were also one-goal – and one man – ahead in the 7th minute through Lionel Messi’s penalty. This was supported by a goal from Neymar, a hat-trick from Luis Suarez and one more from Ivan Rakitic, making it 6–0.

This also meant that BBC and MSN all scored (Bale, Benzema, Crisitiano and Messi, Suarez, Neymar), for the first time ever in the Spanish La Liga. Experts of gambling facts might know that it almost happened in the 13th round of the 2015/16 La Liga season that BBC and MSN all scored. However, Karim Benzema wasn’t able to find the net back then.

This gambling result meant that a lucky online betting player, who had a bet slip with BBC to score odds of 4.50 (7/2) and MSN to score odds of 6.50 (11/2).

Málaga vs Celta Vigo

Celta Vigo are doing great this season, that is one of the most obvious gambling facts that we can get from this season’s La Liga matches. They are laying in the 4th position in the league, 5 points behind Real Madrid, however they are only 1 point ahead of Villarreal who played 1 less game, so Celta might find themselves in the 5th position after that game is held. On the other hand, Málaga are only the 11th, but they are showing improving form. Malaga have not lost any of their last 5 league games. Maybe betting on draw for odds of 3.40 (12/5) at BetVictor Sportsbook could be a good idea for this encounter.

Deportivo La Coruna vs Villarreal

The two teams are expected to play a thrilling encounter since they are really close to each other on the leadership so both of them will need to win the game. Our La Liga betting guide predicts that Villarreal will be tight favourites for the clash, because they are in more convincing form as they won 4 out of their last 5 matches – including the one against Real Madrid. However, Deportivo are also doing great, having remained undefeated for their last 10 games and they played against both Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid. GamblingResults’ La Liga betting guide predicts both teams to score for 1.95 (19/20) at BetVictor Sportsbook.

Valencia vs Real Madrid

Valencia are hosting Real Madrid at Mestalla on Sunday, 3rd January. A game which could be crucial for the future of Real Madrid: should the Royal Club lose against the ancient rival, their manager Rafael Benítez will most likely lose his job and be replaced by either Mourinho or Zidane – according to the latest online gambling news. Our prediction would be that Valencia will not lose that match. You can bet on that market at BetVictor Sportsbook for odds of 2.38 (69/50).

Bleacherreport: La Liga Results 2015: Full Table and Scored After Final Week 1 Match

The new season of Liga BBVA kicked off on Friday, 21 August with an Andalusian derby between Malaga and Sevilla. The match ended in a goalless draw and it is pretty much all that you need to know about this uneventful game. The most memorable occurrence is the red card which was given to Sevilla’sN’Zonzi in the 69th minute, which says all about the clash.

Saturday’s games were not much more exciting in the Primera Division. 4 matches were held on this day, and two of them (Deportivo La Coruna vs Real Sociedad and RayoVallecanovs Valencia) ended in a goalless draw, while the remaining two matches (Espanyolvs Getafe and Atletico Madrid vs UD Las Palmas) brought only one-one goal, giving 3-3 points to Espanyol and Atletico.

The big stars of the tournament were going to play on Sunday and they were expected to shine in the first round of the Spanish championship. Athletic Bilbao hosted FC Barcelona in a thrilling La Liga derby just after defeating the Catalan side by 4-0 in the Spanish Supercup. However, Luis Enrique’s men were still favourites and they did manage to win the game thanks to Suarez scoring the only goal in the clash.

Real Madrid were also expected to win their first match in the season with their new manager, according to latest gambling news. However, they failed to collect all the 3 points in the home field of Sporting Gijón. The newly promoted team fought heroically until the very end and hence they managed to protect the goalless draw.

The remaining 3 matches of the Liga BBVA were the best ones in regards of the number of goals. The clash between Levante and Celta Vigo ended with a final result of 1-2 for the latter side. The home team played with only 10 men from the 5th minute, due to Simao’s red card, which madeLevante’swish to win basically impossible.

The newly promoted Betis managed to reach a 1-1 draw against Villarreal, while the last match on the first round was played between Granada and Eibar. The Andalusian side were on home field. This game brought the most goals in the first matchday of the Liga BBVA as Eibar defeated Granada by 1-3 on away field. Eibar are the only team who scored more than 2 goals so far, and they are leading the championship, however, that will probably not last too long.

Yibada:La Liga 2015-2016: Sevilla FC vsAtletico Madrid, Preview, Prediction & Predicted Lineup

The greatest and most expected La Liga derby in the second matchday will be without a doubt the encounter between FC Sevilla and Atlético de Madrid. Popular sites providing online gambling news, such as Yibada, surprised their readers with previews and predictions ahead of the upcoming La Liga derby.

The match will take place in Estadio Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán, so Sevilla will be the host team. The game will start on Sunday, 30 August at 20:30 (CET). None of the teams have lost in the first round – Sevilla has 1 points due to their 0-0 draw in Málaga, while Diego Simeone’s men are arriving with 3 points thanks to a fortunate 1-0 victory over Las Palmas at Estadio Vicente Calderón.

The only goal of Atlético de Madrid was scored by Antoine Griezmann. The Frenchman’s goal was a pretty lucky one, but it meant plus two points for his team. He shot on goal from a direct free kick, but the ball got cracked on the wall and the moving goalkeeper failed to change his direction.

It will be interesting to see the two teams playing the La Liga derby of the week. None of them have conceded a single goal in their first matches, although Sevilla did not even score any goals so far. Even though it seems as if they were defensive teams, a great spectacle and a passionate clash can be expected on Sunday.

The home team is expected to start in a 4-2-3-1 formation according to Yibada, and Beto will be the goalkeeper. In front of him, the 4 defenders will be Tremoulinas, Blonbou, Ramo and Coke, while Iborra, Vitolo, Banega, Reyes and Kakuta could start on the midfield as N’Zonzi will have to be left out due to his red card. The striker will probably be KévinGameiro, however newly acquired Fernando Llorente might make a debut against Atlético.

Diego Simeone’s side is not expected to bring any surprises. They will most probably start in the usual 4-4-2 formation with Oblak in goal and with Gimenez, Juanfran, Luis and Miranda defending in front of him. Mendes, Gabi, Torres and Koke will form Atlético’s midfield and Griezmann will attack together with Jackson Martinez.

Rafael Benitez added another Croatian central midfielder to his squad, as it was announced that Real Madrid signed Kovacic. Mateo Kovacic will have the opportunity to play alongside his compatriot Luka Modric in Madrid. Since Modric is a key player for Real, he might help Kovacic to settle in at the Bernabeu quickly. Since the new acquisition is eight years younger than him and plays in a position similar to Modric’s role, he might be considered as his successor. Real Madrid are top underdogs to win the Spanish La Liga with odds of 2.75 (7/4) at Bet365. They are third favourites to conquer the Champions League at 6.50 (11/2).

TheGuardian.com: Real Madrid sign midfielder Mateo Kovacic from Inter for £22.5m

 
It was confirmed by the Spanish mega club on Tuesday that Real Madrid signed Mateo Kovacic. The Blancos pay GBP 22.5 million (EUR 32 million) for the highly rated Croatian midfielder for Italian giants Inter, according to gambling news. Kovacic was signed by Inter in 2013. They bought the player form Croatian side Dinamo Zagreb.

Media reports expect the Milan-based outfit to acquire the services of Ivan Perisic after Real Madrid signed Kovacic. Though experts of gambling facts noted that Wolfsburg-man plays in a slightly different position, Inter might take advantage of the skills of Perisic, who plays with a more attacking mindset.

After Real Madrid signed Kovacic, the Spanish club is due to pay GBP 2.1 million more for Kovacic in add-ons. The Croatian midfielder was also wanted by Liverpool in the summer. However, it turned out that he will join arguably the biggest club in world football. At Real Madrid he will have the opportunity to play alongside his fellow Croatian midfield maestro, Luka Modric.

Internazionale manager Roberto Mancini confirmed that financial fair play forced them to sell Kovacic. He said,“We need to sell Mateo because of financial fair play. We are sorry because he is a good player but those are the rules. Now we can try to sign some other players.”

Kovacic had a tally of five goals in 80 league matches at Inter. He can cover the middle of the park, and is also available to play in front of the backline as a deep-lying playmaker. He is considered as a versatile midfielder, who can adapt to playing on the wings or as an attacking midfielder behind the striker as well. After Real Madrid signed Kovacic, many followers of sports scores expect Los Blancos manager Rafa Benitez to let Asier Illarramendi to join Liverpool.

UEFA.com: Kovačić: Real Madrid’s latest Croatian

 
After Real Madrid signed Kovacic from Inter, the midfielder will join his fellow Croat Luka Modric at the Spanish outfit. Los Blancos gave a six-year deal to the 21-year-old, who follows several other Croatian players at Real Madrid. He is the fifth player who made it to the Bernabeu coming from Croatia.

Robert Prosinecki was the first Croatian, who wore Real Madrid’s white jersey. He arrived at the Bernabeu in 1991, when he was 22. He made himself a name in the Crvena Zvezda side that won the Champions League, and in the Yugoslavian national team before the Yugoslav war broke out. He arrived as a star, but he failed to live up to the expectations as his three-year spell at the club was hurt by several injuries. He left for Oviedo in 1994, and spent a year in Barcelona as well later on.

Davor Suker arrived from Sevilla in 1996. He also played for Real Madrid for three years, but his spell was full of success. Suker was part of a thrilling attacking department also consisting Predrag Mijatovic and Raul Gonzalez. They won La Liga as well as the Champions League against Juventus in 1998, as many of those who follow live sports results might remember. He starred for Croatia at the 1998 FIFA World Cup as well, but left for Arsenal in the following year.

Another hit at the 1998 FIFA World Cup was Robert Jarni, who helped Croatia to the bronze medal as a left wing-back. He arrived at the Bernabeu after the tournament, however he moved on next year. He came to Madrid at the wrong time, as he had to compete for a spot in the starting line-up with a certain Mr. Roberto Carlos…

Before Real Madrid signed Kovacic, Luka Modric was the last Croatian player, who joined the Meringues. He is a very important player in the Madrid midfield alongside German international Toni Kroos. However, he needed time to settle in at his current club after his move from Tottenham Hotspur in 2012. In his first season he was considered to be a flop. However he established himself as a fan favourite in recent seasons, winning the Champions League in 2014. Now he is a key contributor to Real Madrid’s free-flowing football.

After Real Madrid signed Kovacic, he became the fifth Croatian international in the History of Los Blancos. The fact that his role model, Modric will be already in the squad might boost his integration to the team. Regarding that he is a very young player, only 21 years of age, maybe he won’t be considered as a flop even after a poor start in Madrid…

After Real Madrid signed Kovacic, the Spanish club is due to pay GBP 2.1 million more for Kovacic in add-ons. The Croatian midfielder was also wanted by Liverpool in the summer. However, it turned out that he will join arguably the biggest club in world football. At Real Madrid he will have the opportunity to play alongside his fellow Croatian midfield maestro, Luka Modric.

Internazionale manager Roberto Mancini confirmed that financial fair play forced them to sell Kovacic. He said,“We need to sell Mateo because of financial fair play. We are sorry because he is a good player but those are the rules. Now we can try to sign some other players.”

Kovacic had a tally of five goals in 80 league matches at Inter. He can cover the middle of the park, and is also available to play in front of the backline as a deep-lying playmaker. He is considered as a versatile midfielder, who can adapt to playing on the wings or as an attacking midfielder behind the striker as well. After Real Madrid signed Kovacic, many followers of sports scores expect Los Blancos manager Rafa Benitez to let Asier Illarramendi to join Liverpool.

After Real Madrid signed Kovacic from Inter, the midfielder will join his fellow Croat Luka Modric at the Spanish outfit. Los Blancos gave a six-year deal to the 21-year-old, who follows several other Croatian players at Real Madrid. He is the fifth player who made it to the Bernabeu coming from Croatia.

Robert Prosinecki was the first Croatian, who wore Real Madrid’s white jersey. He arrived at the Bernabeu in 1991, when he was 22. He made himself a name in the Crvena Zvezda side that won the Champions League, and in the Yugoslavian national team before the Yugoslav war broke out. He arrived as a star, but he failed to live up to the expectations as his three-year spell at the club was hurt by several injuries. He left for Oviedo in 1994, and spent a year in Barcelona as well later on.

Davor Suker arrived from Sevilla in 1996. He also played for Real Madrid for three years, but his spell was full of success. Suker was part of a thrilling attacking department also consisting Predrag Mijatovic and Raul Gonzalez. They won La Liga as well as the Champions League against Juventus in 1998, as many of those who follow live sports results might remember. He starred for Croatia at the 1998 FIFA World Cup as well, but left for Arsenal in the following year.

Another hit at the 1998 FIFA World Cup was Robert Jarni, who helped Croatia to the bronze medal as a left wing-back. He arrived at the Bernabeu after the tournament, however he moved on next year. He came to Madrid at the wrong time, as he had to compete for a spot in the starting line-up with a certain Mr. Roberto Carlos…

Before Real Madrid signed Kovacic, Luka Modric was the last Croatian player, who joined the Meringues. He is a very important player in the Madrid midfield alongside German international Toni Kroos. However, he needed time to settle in at his current club after his move from Tottenham Hotspur in 2012. In his first season he was considered to be a flop. However he established himself as a fan favourite in recent seasons, winning the Champions League in 2014. Now he is a key contributor to Real Madrid’s free-flowing football.

After Real Madrid signed Kovacic, he became the fifth Croatian international in the History of Los Blancos. The fact that his role model, Modric will be already in the squad might boost his integration to the team. Regarding that he is a very young player, only 21 years of age, maybe he won’t be considered as a flop even after a poor start in Madrid…
