My Thoughts
Were it not for the simply stunning form and exhilirating football exhibited by Barcelona, Real Madrid would be walking La Liga this season. Worse Real teams than the one Juande Ramos is currently putting out every week have won titles at a canter. Ramos' side are doing everything in their power to keep Barcelona within their sights, and have been swatting aside all comers in recent weeks, putting 3 past Almeria, 4 past Gijon, 5 past Bilbao and 6 past Betis. Huelva, on t'other hand, are still very much in a relegation dogfight, 3 points behind 17th placed Gijon (who, incidentally, are 8 games away from going an entire league season without drawing a game), with only 4 home wins this season. Their recent form is not great (no win in their last 5) and they have found goals hard to come by (only 14 goals scored in their 15 home games this season), all of which points to another win for title-chasing Madrid.
The Verdict
Can't see past another away win (which would be their 10th of the season) for Madrid in this one.
The Bet
There's probably not much value in backing Madrid outright (best price 6/10 with Blue Square), but there could be some value in backing Raul to score anytime (best price 6/4 with Coral)
