La Liga Sunday

There are a couple of away sides worth considering on Sunday.

Let's start at Betis in the late 8pm game, where Real Betis will entertain Sevilla - a side who are ticking along very nicely indeed this season.

Overall they have gone 10-3-3 so far this campaign, although the Europa League has contributed to that. We're coming off the back of a European week, but Sevilla were fortunate enough to be able to rest a host of players for their trip to group proper-uppers Dudelange who look out of their depth at this level, so should come here fresh enough.

Only Real Madrid, Barcelona and Eibar have beaten then this season.

Betis overall this season are 3-4-5, but Understat.com places them bottom of the division on performances so far, and it's hard to argue with that given they haven't even adjusted too far from their actual goal scored/conceded values. The shot data we keep shows them ranking 16th for Shot Ratio, and 18th for Shot-On-Target Ratio with 42% on each.

By contrast Sevilla are at 60% on each, ranking them 2nd on shot-ratio and 4th for shots-on-target. The visitors look the bet here at 6/5 with Betway

Another away side worth an interest are Osasuna, as they go to Getafe. Both sides will be targeting Europa League qualification this season, so it is bound to be an important match in the wider context. The visitors do travel without Avila - thier top scorer so far this season, but they have goals spread throughout and can cope with that. Getafe are reporting potential absences for Cabrera and Suarez themselves so let's not get too stuck on the team news.

Osasuna have banked 56% shot ratio and 63% shot-on-target ratio numbers this season, which have improved to 63% an 64% respectively over the past six matches, and they have lost just twice all season (Real Madrid and Grenada).

Getafe are returning from a mid-week trip to Basel which won't have helped preparations here, and their shot numbers don't really compare to their opponents' this campaign.

I'm keen to give Osasuna a chance in this one.

1pt Sevilla to beat Real Betis at 6/5 (Betway)

1pt Osasuna to beat Getafe at 7/2 (General)

1pt Osasuna +0.5 Asian Handicap at 19/20 (Bet365)
