La Liga 2 Games to Bet On as You Wait for the Australian Open

Save for the English FA Cup and the Coppa Italia, there aren’t many top-flight football games to see this week. While some leagues are gearing up for the start of a new season, others are taking a breather ahead of the weekend’s games.

With the start date of the Australian Open still some days away, you may be thinking there isn’t much to bet on this week, right? Think again. Asides NBA action set to come up this week, there’ll also be action in Spain’s second-tier football division, Spanish La Liga 2.

Chances are that you’re not familiar with the teams and the trends in this division. And that’s why today’s blog is centered around helping you cash out from the La Liga 2 games this week. The league of 22 teams will feature 11 games this week, as all teams will play a least once. So, what games are there to bet on?

1. Cadiz CF vs. Mirandes

The team topping the table welcomes ninth-placed Mirandes. However, do not be deceived by their table positions. Despite scoring 44 goals in their 22 games played so far, they’ve only scored four goals in their last five games, winning only four points from their last possible 15.

Compared to the table-toppers, Mirandes have picked up eight of the possible 15 points from their last five games. Asides scoring an average of one per game, they’re unbeaten in their last five games.

2. Almeria vs. R. Oviedo

Just like the game above, there are 15 spots between second-placed Almeria and 17^th placed R. Oviedo. However, unlike the first game discussed above, this one may be dominated by the top side, largely because of their recent form.

Almeria have scored 14 goals in their last five games – the highest any side in the league has managed in the same period. With R. Oviedo scoring seven goals in their last five, this one is set to feature goals at both ends of the pitch.

3. Las Palmas vs. Zaragoza

Las Palmas have the best form in the league (over the last five games). They’ve won 11 of the possible 15 available, scoring eight and conceding an average of less than one per game. Zaragoza are not placed third on the table for nothing. They’ve only lost two of their last 10 games, in all competitions, failing to score only once.

Las Palmas have won two of their last five games against Zaragoza. Combined with their recent form, they’re favorites to win this game.
