Tip 1 � Follow Eibar this weekend.
Eibar have without doubt been the surprise team of the season, after they survived relegation following Elche's money troubles. This season they were the bookies favourites to be relegated but currently sit in sixth place. We do think they'll score goals this weekend through
Borja Baston,
(MO:, FB:8.0m) the 23-year-old has 14 goals for the season and has been a revelation for the Basque minnows. They face Malaga this weekend, a side that has only score five away goals this season.
David Juncà (MO:6.3m, FB:5.0m) is expected to replace Antonio Luna at left-back,
Mauro Dos Santos (MO:6.4m, FB:4.5m) and
Aleksandar Pantic (MO:4.6m, FB:4.5m) are expected to partner up in defence following the injury the Ivan Ramis and the ever reliable
Asier Riesgo (MO:5.6m, FB:4.5m) will don the gloves once more.
Tip 2 � Goals at Coliseum Alfonso Pérez.
This weekend Getafe host Athletic Club Bilbao, in a game that should promise lots of goals. Firstly, we'd suggest avoiding all defenders and goalkeepers in this game both teams should score in this one and you'd be risking the clean sheet points being lost. Both teams have conceded 30 or more goals this season, with Athletic Club conceding 12 in their last five games, and Getafe five in the same period. From the Athletic Club Bilbao side the standout player has the be
Aduriz (MO:14.6m, FB:10.0m) whose two goals against Eibar leaves his tally at 13 for the season. The wonderful
Iñaki Williams (MO:6.4m, FB:6.5m) has been incredible to watch this season contributing six goals and one assist this season, he also scored in the midweek Copa del Rey loss to Barcelona. For Getafe the standout candidate is
Pablo Sarabia (MO:10.3m, FB:6.5m) who is their most creative outlet scoring five goals and assisted four and
Álvaro Vázquez (MO:3.9m, FB:6.5m) will be hoping to score his fifth of the season.
Tip 3 � Real Madrid to bounce back.
A man of the match performance from Real Betis keeper Antonio Adan denied Real Madrid all three points last weekend, it's the Madrid front line we are backing once again and we expect them to dismantle Espanyol. Constantin Gâlca has six of his big players out; both Victor Alvarez and Gerard Moreno are absent due to suspensions and midfield playmaker Marco Asensio is unavailable due to being on loan from Real Madrid. Although Gareth Bale is also expected to be absent for the hosts with his most likely replacement being
James Rodriquez (MO:11.5m, FB:12.5m),
Karim Benezema (MO:18.0m, FB:13.0m) now has 17 league goals this season and is in sublime form, scoring in his last four league games. Then you have
Cristiano Ronaldo (MO:19.6m, FB:16.5m) who despite scoring 16 goals and collecting seen assists will be disappointed with his performances this season and will be eyeing up this encounter as the perfect match to add to his tally.
Tip 4 � Celta Vigo to win.
Celta secured their place in the Copa del Rey semi finals after a 3-2 win against Atletico Madrid, a remarkable effort from Eduardo Berizzo and his side. In the 12 months prior to the encounter there had been 26 games at the Calderón with 19 clean sheets being kept and nine goals conceded in total. Celta will be hoping to build upon this when they travel to Las Palmas this weekend. The Canary Islands side have shipped 11 goals in their last six games and 10 in front of their own fans this season, but Celta do hold the 3
rd best away record this season (5W, 2D, 3L) scoring 13 goals in the process. We're backing them to get their sixth away win of the season. After his impressive performance midweek
John Guidetti (MO:6.4m, FB:7.5m) will be hoping to keep his place in the starting XI meaning
Iago Aspas (MO:7.9m, FB:9.0m) will be dropped deeper, elsewhere
Orellana (MO:12.3m, FB:9.0m) offers good attacking potential and so does central midfielder
Pablo Hernández (MO:5.2m, FB:6.5m) who scored two in the 3-2 cup win over Atletico.
Tip 5 � Perez and Bakambu on the scoresheet
Two of
@callumread's favourite players this season have been Deportivo's
Peréz (MO:, FB:8.5m) and Villarreal's
Cédric Bakambu (MO:7.7m, FB:8.0m) both strikers have added much needed goals to their respective sides and have been used heavily by players on MondoGoal and FantasyBet due to their low pricing earlier on in the season. Deporitvo's Peréz will be hoping to add to his 13 goals for the season when he welcomes a Rayo Vallecano side that have conceded 45 goals this season, 29 of which have come away from home. Bakambu and Villarreal face Granada whose away form has also been disappointing conceded 25 goals away from home this season. Both strikers are very positive in front of goal and are always hungry to get on the scoresheet.
