BUNDESLIGA / LA LIGA PREVIEW: Our European football tipster The Ultra previews Saturday’s games between GRANADA v ATLETICO MADRID, DORTMUND v HOFFENHEIM and BARCELONA v ALAVES all with a recommended BETDAQ bet.

GRANADA V ATLETICO MADRID

1pm We have an excellent day in Europe, and with all football bets 0% commission on BETDAQ Betting Exchange today, I’m really looking forward to the action. We kick off an exciting day with La Liga table toppers Atletico Madrid traveling to take on Granada. Atletico lost ground at the top of the table this week as they could only manage a 2-2 draw with Celta Vigo on Monday and that was followed with a Real Madrid win on Tuesday. They are now only five points clear, but they do have two games in hand on Real again. This might not be the most important game, but you feel a win is needed just to stop the nerves kicking in early. If they throw away a ten point lead or it starts to get close, the pressure will be immense!

I have to say I’m very surprised by the Atletico price at 1.85. That is massive value for me, and it’s worth a max bet. I don’t think I could have a smaller stake than a five point win. Granada come into this fixture in terrible form – they shipped five goals against Barcelona recently in the cup but their xG figures in La Liga have been very poor. 1.40, 0.39, 0.72 and 0.17 make for very poor reading and I can’t see them troubling Atletico in front of goal. With Atletico playing great football and having a great season, I’m very happy to have a max bet on the 1.85!

DORTMUND V HOFFENHEIM

2.30pm We move over to the Bundesliga next and Dortmund hosting Hoffenheim is my pick of the afternoon games. It’s fair to say both these sides are having poor seasons by their standards, and they have slipped down the table from last season. Dortmund are having a particularly poor run; however they massively over-performed last season looking at their xG so perhaps this is just a correction. They start the weekend a massive 16 points behind Bayern Munich at the top of the table however, and maybe the big stars could be on their way out during the summer. Dortmund look very short at 1.53 and I couldn’t put anyone off a lay at those odds, however I do see a lot of goals here.

Over 3.5 goals is 1.95 and that looks cracking value. Both sides have conceded a lot this season and Hoffenheim like to play an open game. They have conceded seven goals in their last two games, although one of those came against Bayern Munich where they actually performed well despite losing 4-1. Prior to that they had won 3-0 twice and Dortmund have had bags of goals in their games this season – at both ends! I think these two will gel together well and we’ll see lots of action.

BARCELONA V ALAVES

8pm We finish a brilliant Saturday with Barcelona hosting Alaves. I was surprised to see Barcelona lose midweek in the cup against Sevilla as they had been playing some excellent football recently. They were lucky to beat Real Betis last weekend, but prior to that they had been producing some big xG numbers going forward. Perhaps they will be more switched on back in La Liga now, but they are a little too short for me here at 1.32. That being said, it’s hard to see anything bar a Barcelona win here as Alaves have been poor this season – they are right in the mix for relegation.

Alaves did produce an impressive performance to beat Real Valladolid last weekend, however Valladolid are right in the relegation fight too so we can’t read too much into that. Real Madrid were able to put four goals past Alaves in late January, and I feel we’ll see a similar score from Barcelona here. I’m happy to keep stakes small going into the sides markets here but as I said above Barcelona have been in excellent form and Any other Home Win looks worth backing at 4.0 in the Correct Score market.

One point win Any Other Home Win at 4.0 BETDAQ Betting Exchange
