Spanish La Liga
2008-05-18 - Real Madrid vs Levante
A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser
Analysis:Real Madrid who have already won the La Liga title some weeks back will welcome the visit of already relegated Levante for this final match at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium and the home side is expected to party after this match. However, this match may not go on as there are fears that the Levante players are on strike and it waits to be seen if it will go on even.
The hosts enter this match with a fantastic home record of 16 home wins and just 2 defeats, as well as scoring the most goals in La Liga as many as 48 goals. They did well to remain unbeaten in their last match against a very determined Real Zaragoza side battling against relegation and that showed that they don't simply go down even though they had nothing to play for and could have easily gone down to Zaragoza in their last away game.
In their last four home matches they have scored a total of 11 goals and conceded just twice! They beaten teams such as Sevilla 3-1, Real Murcia 1-0, Athletic Bilbao 3-0 and Barcelona 4-1! And in their last eight matches they have managed 6 wins and just drawn twice, their draws were against a stubborn Real Zaragoza side 2-2 and Real Mallorca when it ended 1-1.
As for already relegated Levante who will be playing in the Segunda Division next season, they come into this match with the worst away record of losing as many as 15 matches this season. Though their 36 goals conceded is not the worst, but their strikeforce have scored only 9 away from home, which is safe to say that they are unlikely to increase that if this match does go ahead here today.
In their last eight games they have managed just two wins, against Real Betis away from home and Getafe at home. They suffered a draw and 5 defeats in that run. The three defeats they suffered away from home in their last four games were against Almeria 2-1, Recreativo 2-0 and Deportivo 1-0.
Take Real Madrid to win this match and give the 2 1/4 balls away here.
Cheers and good luck,
