The Spanish elite football championship will end very soon. Barcelona secured the league title well in advance.
The fight between Real Madrid and Atlético for silver medals is also interesting, but not as much as the battle for survival. Elche will definitely start next season in the Segunda. At the same time, five teams apply for the remaining two tickets to the lower division at once.
The top five clubs that could still be relegated to the lower division are Espanyol, Getafe, Valladolid, Cadiz and Almeria. If you want to make money betting on Spanish football, then we recommend doing it at mostbet online.
Espanyol
The White-Blues have had an extremely weak season and after 34 rounds they were in 19th place. At the same time, Espanyol was four points behind the saving 17th place. Having won 7 victories (less than only the last Elche), the “parrots” played 10 times in a draw and were defeated in 17 fights. It should also be noted that in the bottom five, Luis Garcia’s men had the best attack in the league, which averaged more than one goal per 90 minutes of playing time. But the defense of the team from Barcelona was one of the weakest.
In the remaining rounds, the White-Blues will face Rayo Vallecano and Valencia away, as well as Atlético Madrid and Almeria at home. It will be extremely difficult to get a large number of points in these fights and escape from relegation.
Getafe
The Dark Blues are not in the best shape and are at risk of relegation at the end of the season. After 34 rounds, Getafe was in 18th place. Three points ahead of 19th Espanyol, the “urban” lagged behind 17th Valladolid and 16th Cadiz by one point. Having won 8 times and drawn 10 times, the team of Jose Bordalas lost in 16 cases (the fewest in the bottom four). It should also be noted that the brainchild of Angel Torres Sanchez had one of the weakest attacks in the championship, scoring fewer goals per game on average.
In the four remaining games of the championship, the “dark blue” will play at home with Elche and Osasuna, as well as away with Betis and Valladolid. Gaining credit points with each of the current opponents of the “urban” is quite capable. So Getafe still has a chance to maintain a residence permit in the elite.
Valladolid
The “White-Violet” hold a not very confident championship and after 34 rounds they were in the tournament in 17th place. Yielding to 16th Cadiz in additional indicators, Valladolid was one point ahead of 18th Getafe. Having won in 10 matches (more than all representatives of the relegation zone), the guys of Paulo Pezzolano only drew in 5 cases, and also lost 19 times. At the same time, Pusela had one of the worst attacks and defenses in the league.
Pucele will face Cadiz and Almeria away and Barcelona and Getafe at home in the last four rounds. With competitors in the fight for relegation and an unmotivated “leopard”, the “white-violet” can get hold of credit points. At the same time, if Valladolid concedes in most meetings, then the risk of relegation will become more real.
Cadiz
The Yellow-Blues continue to fight for survival, but by the 34th round the team was only 16th in the standings. Having the same number of points with the 17th Valladolid, the 18th Getafe Cadiz outperformed by only one point. Having won in 8 matches (one of the worst results in the Example), the guys of Sergio Gonzalez drew 11 fights and lost 15 times.
If Cadiz does not slow down at the finish line of the championship, he will be able to avoid relegation. In the remaining La Liga games, the “yellow submarine” will play Valladolid and Celta at home, as well as Villarreal and Elche away. The brainchild of Manuel Vizcaino is quite able to get hold of points in these battles, so the chances of remaining in the elite of Spanish football are quite good.
Almeria
The “Red-Whites” have the best chance of retaining their place in the elite among the candidates for relegation, being in 15th place after 34 rounds. Almeria was one point ahead of 16th Cadiz and 17th Valladolid. At the same time, the gap from the relegation zone for Ruby’s wards is not too big and it’s too early to relax. Having won 10 fights and 6 matches reduced to a draw, “UDA” lost 18 times. It should also be noted that with a good attack, the brainchild of Turki al-Sheikh has one of the worst defenses in the championship.
In the last four La Liga matches, Almeria will face Mallorca and Valladolid at home and Real Sociedad and Espanyol away. Having won at home battles, the “red-whites” are likely to retain their residence in the strongest division of Spain.
Our forecast
Espanyol does not have a very simple calendar and the gap from the saving 17th place is the largest. So with a high probability, “parrots” will go down in class. Getafe is extremely unstable and rarely wins. Therefore, the “urban” together with the “white-blue”, it seems, will start the next season in the Segunda. Valladolid, Cadiz and Almeria are more stable than their competitors and are likely to be able to keep their place in the Example.
