La Liga Standings Look A Little Different This Year
La Liga standings look a little different this year. Through 22 matches, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are neck and neck. Barcelona is somewhat behind these teams, but many believe in FC Barcelona to do something to rise up the standings. Most every Spanish pundit expects little from Athletic Bilbao or any of the other teams below them in the standings. La Liga Future Betssee if we can get “athletic” or not.
However, the initial thoughts lie in the potential reality of Real Madrid running away from this and hiding from Barcelona over the final 15 matches. Can Atletico’s defensive nature hold up during the Spring when typically it begins to get warmer and warmer? Could Athletic Bilbao pull a shocker even though they are around 10 points down right now?
So, form from the last five games and overall this season plus injuries play a role in our projections. However, there grows this nagging sense that maybe Real Madrid and Barcelona could get a real and stern challenge here. Girona was thought to be one of those teams but dropped to eighth after finishing third last year.
Now, La Liga Future Bets tries to answers the biggest question. Who is going to win this league?
The “Athletic” Path To Glory
So, the “Athletic” path to glory remains pretty simple. The reason why Atletico Madrid has been so good this season is simple. This squad does not allow goals. At press time, the team yielded a mere 14 of them in 22 matches. For non-math majors, yes that really is less than one goal a game. Now, Atletico has been especially stingy at home with a plethora of clean sheets to their portfolio.
Naturally, Atletico in Spanish means athletic. This team plays physical on the pitch and has some of the best goaltending in all of La Liga. Over the weekend, they grounded out a 2-0 win over Mallorca. Their next match is in the quarterfinal of the Copa del Ray against Getafe where the team from Madrid expects to be heavily favored.
People forget that this is a team who has won the Europa and topped La Liga twice in recent memory (2014 and 2021). Some asked if they can go a season with this kind of defensive acumen? The answer is yes. 2021 saw them allow 25 goals in 38 games on their way to the title.
Yes, some firmly believe that Barcelona will buy some players and get hot at the right time. Others figure Real Madrid will just pad their league as Spring wears on. However, there grows this nagging sense that Atletico Madrid can truly stick around.
Yes, La Liga Future Bets and the other Athletic are the furthest long shots at +10000 across the board. However, deficits around 10 points have been overcome by teams. Nothing is entirely impossible. Yes, the Top 3 teams in the league are all very strong. Barcelona figures to have 48 points after Sunday. If Athletic Bilbao wins, they would still be five points behind Atletico and Barcelona, plus six behind Real Madrid.
Hopping past three teams this good is far from an easy feat. There is also the fact that Athletic Bilbao has not fared so well against the top echelon so far. Again, anything can happen and they are at least worth the tiniest of small wagers.
For La Liga Future Bets, a couple dollar bet might not be a half-bad idea. There are worse things once can place a wager on.
What about the dreaded relegation in the La Liga Future Bets? That is a great question. Valladolid feels like an automatic at around -2000. Their -31 goal differential already makes them a walking mat for most matches. Four wins in 22 matches is a motivator along with allowing more than two goals a game defensively. Their offense is the worst in La Liga.
However, Valencia is an interesting one. They played well enough to sneak into the Copa del Ray quarterfinals. Unfortunately, this team is 19th and in danger of being relegated. Their number was around -300 to -400 at press time. With only three wins but 11 draws, some pundits believe they can nickel and dime their way out of a relegation spot. They do have to get past two teams in order to avoid their fate.
Valencia’s focus is on the Copa. It is not like they figure to get too much further. After that, they might have further problems over their final 16 matches. This would be a surprise in the soccer world but almost feels expected now.
