La Liga Season Betting Preview

July 28, 2013 - PRLog -- Like every season there are only 2 teams to look at to win La Liga. Obviously Barcelona and Real Madrid. Bet365 has Barcelona as the favourite at -150 and Real Madrid as the runners-up at +125.

Barcelona

The Catalonians biggest move by far was bringing Neymar from Santos. Neymar has been compared to the likes of Messi and because of this alot of pundits are already crowning them champions. They moved an ineffective David Villa to Athletico Madrid. So they are definitely better then last year. However they are having coaching issues at the wrong time, although the season has not started it is real close to preseason games so it will be interesting to see how the cancer issues to Vilanova and the replacement coach Gerardo Martino can handle it.

Real Madrid

Many madridistas are happy to see Jose Mourinho leave Madrid. All he did was create more attention to already a highly publicized team. To make matters worse, they struggled the whole time, with his greatest accomplishment being that 1 la liga title. So Ancceloti comes in and takes over and Higuain signs with Napoli. They bring in a young talent in Isco.

At +125 I would say backing Real Mardid right now would be the best play. Ill give you 2 real good reasons why. 1) Last year Real Madrid owned Barcelona, the only reason they lost was was because of the poor start they had, and that was as a result of a long off season for the Spain squad as well as a lengthy preseason. 2) They are going to make 1 more signing, 1 big splash, and right now its +125, after that signing it will drop significantly, at worse, they don’t make that signing you still have good odds at +125.
