Ace Football presents detailed betting tips on the upcoming La Liga games of the weekend.

As we prepare for another weekend of La Liga football, our experts take a look at the bookmakers’ predictions for the upcoming matches.

Let’s check out three betting tips for Matchday 27 of La Liga.

Back Villarreal to defeat Osasuna

Villarreal’s 5-1 dismantling of Espanyol showcased their excellent form in recent weeks. The Yellow Submarines show an outstanding balance between their defensive and offensive duties, often surprising their opponents with fast-paced attacks down both flanks.

This week they meet an Osasuna side that have struggled to maintain consistency with their attacking displays lately. They have suffered back-to-back defeats in their last two league games, failing to score in both games.

We expect Villarreal to secure their third victory in a row at El Sadar Stadium.

Expect goals when Barcelona meet Elche

Barcelona have spent the past few weeks smashing their opponents left and right. An influx of their previously-injured players and a few smart January signings have provided the Blaugrana with deadly firepower upfront.

This weekend, Xavi Hernandez’s side will meet Elche, who have not made a clean sheet in their past six games. However, they sure know about Elche’s stats of being dangerous underdogs.

The Franjiverdes have twice in both of their previous games against Real Madrid and Barcelona. We expect to see an exciting game when they host the Blaugrana again on Sunday.

Expect goals on both sides when Espanyol host Getafe

The bottom-of-the-table matches are infamous for being boring, but this weekend we expect to see an exciting one in La Liga.

The last time a BTTS (both sides to score) bet has lost in an Espanyol game dates back to December 5. The Catalan side have consistently scored in their recent games. However, their defensive problems have usually resulted in underwhelming defeats and draws.

This weekend they face Getafe in a bid to retain their 14th place on the league table. Their opponents have scored nine goals in their last four games, winning only one of them. We expect both sides to concede goals on Saturday.
