We are now into the final strait of the La Liga season and the title race couldn’t be much tighter. Barcelona are out in front but only just as they have Real Madrid breathing firmly down their neck, this one looks like going down to the wire.
You can bet on La Liga teams now: Barcelona are 1.45 to win Primera Division with Real Madrid going for 2.60.
With only four games each to play and just a single point separating the two sides now is a good time to examine the remaining fixtures each club face to see where potential point could be dropped to determine if Real Madrid are going to snatch the league title back from la Blaugrana or if Pep Guardiola will be claiming his second title in two years.
Barcelona fixtures
1 May – Villareal (Away)
The next game in La Liga and possibly their toughest match of the run-in. Much will depend on how much is taking out of Guardiola’s men in the second-leg of the Champions League semi against Mourinho’s Inter Milan. Villareal are chasing a European spot in the league and there is real potential for Barca to drop points here.
4 May – Tenerife (Home)
Tenerife are battling for survival and will be desperate for anything out of this match, but they won’t get it – home banker for Barca.
8 May – Sevilla (Away)
Sevilla are currently involved in a real battle for the final Champions League position with Real Mallorca and this fixture will be another difficult one for the current champs.
15 May – Valladolid (Home)
Another relegation candidate travels to the Nou Camp and another three points for Barcelona.
Real Madrid fixtures
1 May – Osasuna (Home)
Osasuna are not safe from relegation yet and they won’t be any safer after leaving the Bernabeu pointless.
4 May – Mallorca (Away)
Mallorca have been a revelation this season and have maintained a push for fourth spot all season long. The secret of their success has been a phenomenal home record and this fixture will be the hardest for los Blancos.
8 May – Athletic Bilbao (Home)
Athletic Bilbao have an awful away record this season and they won’t be able to do anything to improve upon it up against Madrid.
15 May – Malaga (Away)
A side scrapping against relegation at home on the last day of the season is a dangerous opponent and Madrid will not be given anything for free in this game – potential banana skin.
What can be seen then is that both sides face a couple of fixtures where there is potential to drop points. It is likely that both sides will pick up the same amount of points between now and the end of the season thus meaning Barcelona will retain their crown for another year.
