La Liga comes to a climax between Barcelona, Real Madrid & Sevilla

La Liga comes to a climax between Barcelona, Real Madrid & Sevilla With just two matches remaining Spain´s La Liga (Spanish Primera Division) is going right down to the wire with Real Madrid and Barcelona locked at the top of the table on 72 points.

The bookies make Madrid their 8/11 favourites on account of the fact that David Beckham´s side hold a superior head-to-head record against Barca who are a 5/4 chances with SportBet.com.

Madrid, who strengthened their Spanish title hopes with a 3-1 win against RC Deportivo La Coruña last week are 8/13 chances to win at Real Zaragoza this coming Saturday.

Beckham´s men are on a hot streak of six consecutive wins and with the leaders currently firing on all cylinders that´s a price well worth taking. Also on Saturday we fully expect Barca to see off city rivals Espanyol but at odds of just 1/4 its hard to derive too much value.

Barcelona warmed up for the weekend with a 1-0 win against Getafe.

If you fancy both of the top two to stumble its worth noting dark horses Sevilla at 11/1. The Andalucians are just two points behind the big two and six points from their remaining fixtures could well make things interesting.

Sevilla, who have won their last five matches are a cracking 8/15 to win at Mallorca on Saturday.
