Betis look a real handicap snip to see off Valladolid

Real Betis v Valladolid7.45pm Sunday
La Liga is a competition in which possession counts for plenty and Real Betis are second only to Barcelona when it comes to keeping the ball with a whopping 64 per cent of the play in their games this season.

That domination of the ball has enabled Betis to keep seven clean sheets in their last nine matches in all competitions, although their three-match winning sequence was ended at Atletico Madrid last time out.

However, Betis remain a joy to watch with Sergio Canales, Joaquin, Giovani Lo Celso and Takashi Inui in the ranks and they should see off Valladolid comfortably.

Recommendation
Real Betis -0.75 on Asian handicap

Monchengladbach v Mainz5pm Sunday
Backing Gladbach on the handicaps is always a preferred way of getting with Dieter Hecking's team as the Foals are capable of kicking clear when they get their noses in front.

That has been a shown a couple of times this season, most notably in a 11-1 cup win over Hastedt, although in many ways their 3-0 win away to Bayern Munich was even more remarkable.

Gladbach have quality up front in Alassane Plea, Thorgan Hazard and Lars Stindl, while Mainz have gone four games without a goal.

Recommendation
Monchengladbach -0.75 Asian handicap
