La Liga: Betting preview, tips & TV details

Eleven Sports / Premier Sports / ITV4 from 6.30pm Thursday

Getafe v Real Madrid

ITV4 / Eleven Sports 1, 8.30pm

With a challenging run of fixtures on the horizon, Getafe gave their top-four hopes a massive boost by running rampant in a 3-0 win over Sevilla on Sunday.

The hosts have lost only one of their last 12 fixtures, having seen off Bilbao and taken points against Espanyol and Valladolid already this month.

Real Madrid look assured of third spot and it would be no surprise to see their campaign end with a whimper.

Recommendation
Getafe & draw double chance
2pts 19-20 bet365

Key stat
Ten of Getafe's 14 league wins this season have been at home.

Sevilla v Rayo Vallecano

Eleven Sports 1 / Premier Sports 1, 6.30pm

Sevilla's Champions League ambitions are far from gone but they will have to tighten up at the back if they are to make La Liga's top four.

The Andalusian outfit shipped twice in their victory over Betis before suffering a 3-0 defeat to Getafe.

Both their Europa League meetings with Slavia Prague were humdingers - they drew 2-2 at home and lost 4-3 away - and their tendency to overcommit against lesser sides points to goals in this game.

Recommendation
Both teams to score
1pt 4-6 Coral, Ladbrokes

Key stat
Both teams have scored in five of Rayo's last seven games.
