Asian Handicaps: Best bets for the weekend | EFL & La Liga

Bolton v Aston Villa

3pm Friday

The good news for cash-strapped Bolton is that their games over Easter will go ahead after a takeover was completed. The bad news is that Aston Villa are the visitors and Jack Grealish is ready to return.

Playmaker Grealish missed last week's win over Bristol City but Villa still won without their talisman, while Dean Smith's side will also be boosted by Tammy Abraham's swift recovery from a minor knock.

Villa absolutely pummeled City, rattling off 11 shots on target as they made it eight straight wins. Number nine should come at Bolton and it could be a comfortable 90 minutes for them.

It's nearly three weeks since Bolton's players were last paid and Phil Parkinson's side have lost five of their last six games. The Trotters, thumped 4-0 at Derby last week, will be relegated to Sky Bet League One if they lose and Parkinson admitted he would only pick players "who want to be out there" with spirits understandably low.

Recommendation
Aston Villa -1.5
1pt 21-20 bet365

Real Madrid v Athletic Bilbao

Eleven Sports, 3.15pm Sunday

Zinedine Zidane is using the rest of the season to assess his squad heading into a busy summer and their performances have not been up to scratch, which makes them vulnerable against Athletic Bilbao.

Even when Real have won it has not been emphatic. Eibar escaped the Bernabeu with just a 2-1 defeat, while Huesca lost 3-2.

Recommendation
Athletic Bilbao +1
1pt 27-25 bet365
