2026-27 LA LIGA PICKS

MON AUG 31st

7. Osasuna/Getafe total cards OVER 4.5 @ 1.80/-125 (1u) Bet365

Getafe were bottom of the fair play table in La Liga last season. Osasuna were not that far behind in 17th spot. The referee for this match Jon Ander Gonzales Esteban issued 94 yellow and 6 red cards last season in 22 officiated matches. A straight red card counts as two for the bet.

8. Barcelona/Rayo Vallecano total corners OVER 10.5 @ 1.80/-125 (1u) Bet365

Barcelona's matches averaged a league high 11.4 total corners per match last season. Rayo's matches averaged 11.2 which was second highest in La Liga. Head to head Rayo won the corner battle last season 9-6 (15) and 9-4 (13) while I don't expect that trend to continue I do see the total going over.

9. Real Betis +1.25 @ 1.91/-110 (1u) Pinnacle

Sevilla is always a tricky place to play even for Madrid who have failed to win there in their last 4 visits. The head to head score lines have been 1-1, 2-1 win for Betis, 1-1 and 0-0. Real Madrid have a few key injuries and a Champions league date with Inter Milan on Tuesday. I can see Betis getting something out of this matchup.

10. Racing Santander PK/Draw no bet  @ 1.82/-122 (1u) Pinnacle

Once again I'm backing a newly promoted side, in this case a well funded one to get a home result. Both of these sides played a friendly in August that ended in a tie. I just like the home record of 10 wins 2 draws and 2 losses of Racing Santander not to lose to Alaves a side that survived relegation last season by a point.

Diamond on cue sir
