La Liga odds boosts ratings: 29th March-1st April
Cadiz to win, Cadiz most corners & Granada most cards (7/1)
Friday night’s game is a big relegation six pointer between Cadiz and Granada. Both clubs have changed coaches since the turn of the year and this is Granada’s first match under the reappointed Jose Ramon Sandoval.
With a new boss at the helm but only two wins on the board all season, the very least Sandoval will want to see is more commitment and that could easily spill over into more fouls and more bookings which makes the final leg of this combo look pretty good.
Whether Sandoval has a magic formula to fix Granada’s problems is far more doubtful though. Cadiz are no great shakes themselves but their last two home performances have been much improved. They came from behind to grab a more than deserved 2-2 draw against Celta Vigo before stunning Atletico Madrid 2-0.
A repeat level of performance would surely be enough to secure the win and most likely the better of the corner count against Granada.
Both teams to score, Artem Dovbyk – Over 1.5 shots on target, Girona to win (9/2)
Girona have lost their last four away from home, but back at the Estadi Montilivi, things may take a turn for the better against a Real Betis side that has lost three on the bounce in La Liga.
The Catalans are still very much on course to finish in the top four of La Liga and their home form has remained strong despite their recent troubles when they go away. They’ve won 79% of their home games in La Liga this term and a Girona win does look likely here.
Top scorer Artem Dovbyk looks certain to lead the line and he should get opportunities in this game. He averages 1.33 shots on target per 90 minutes in La Liga so it’s far from certain that he manages to test the keeper twice here, but there’s a decent chance of that in a game Girona should have the better of.
Betis should have their star player Isco back which will also increase their attacking output and increase the chances of both teams scoring to potentially land this combo.
Robert Lewandowski to score anytime, Over 7 corners & Robert Lewandowski – Over 0.5 assists (10/1)
Barcelona are huge favourites against out of form Las Palmas on Saturday and it’s a game that they should win without too many problems. That’ll surely be the outcome if they can get anywhere close to the level that saw them overcome both Napoli and Atletico Madrid with 3-1 and 3-0 wins in the week prior to the internationals.
This exact combo did land in the Atleti game, with Robert Lewandowski scoring and also assisting two goals in a game with 10 corners. However, punters should be aware that Lewandowski hadn’t scored and assisted in the same Barcelona match since September prior to that.
Odds of 10/1 do reflect the relatively low chance of that happening for the second match running and it’s also worth pointing out that Xavi may be reluctant to play the striker for the full 90 minutes given it has been a really busy international break for the Polish striker.
Iñaki Williams to score anytime, Both teams to score & Double chance – Draw or Athletic Club (9/1)
While the above La Liga odds boosts are potentially interesting options, this one from the game between Real Madrid and Athletic on Sunday night looks far more doubtful and it’s very possible that none of these legs will come in.
Athletic Club are enjoying a great season, but that’s largely a product of their stunning home form with the Basques unbeaten at San Mames since they lost 2-0 to Real Madrid on the opening weekend. They also have a Copa del Rey Final next weekend to look forward to and this Sunday’s game at the Santiago Bernabeu is of secondary importance compared to that.
Iñaki Williams is likely to start the game but with only one goal in his last 10 league appearances, it’d be a surprise if he scored at the Bernabeu and there’s very little prospect of this combo being a winning bet with Real Madrid looking unstoppable at the top of the table.
