La Liga has earned the reputation of becoming a two-horse race in recent season, irrespective of the fact that Atletico Madrid have come close to winning it (and won it once) multiple times in recent seasons.
This quinnbet code will come in handy when betting on this season, as it’s firmly a three-way race to the finish line and the team which maintains its speed will be the victors in the end.
Defending champions Barcelona have experienced early hiccups with a drab loss to Athletic Bilbao in their opening day-fixture.
In a game without captain Lionel Messi, the Blaugrana seemed a broken shell operating without a cause.
However, once the Argentine does return to the field, he should lead the charge to restart ordinary business of dominating teams as well as winning games on a stretch.
If Neymar does make a sensational return to the Camp Nou (via the Express), Barca could take a huge step forward to sealing the title.
With a potential front-line of Messi, Antoine Griezmann, Neymar and Luis Suarez, there aren’t many defences in La Liga to contain that fearsome combination.
Their defensive weakness is the only vulnerable point to hold them back this season, as Ernesto Valverde will hope his competitors keep slipping as the months’ move.
Their biggest competitor, of course, is bitter rivals Real Madrid, who once again under Zinedine Zidane, are looking to reclaim the Spanish title.
They’ve spent more than €300 million(stats Transfermarkt) in acquiring some world-class talents, including Chelsea sensation Eden Hazard as the proper successor to the departed Cristiano Ronaldo.
Considering the Belgian’s majestic ability to dazzle the fans with his skills, Real should reclaim their dominance in La Liga.
Moreover, Luka Jovic’s goal-scoring lethality and Eder Militao’s defensive strength should also help add some much-needed depth to keep the rotational options open for Los Blancos.
However, it’s not only the White side of Madrid that will be fighting for the title. Atletico Madrid have also stamped a new-look outfit for this season, orchestrating a face-lift after Griezmann, Godin, and others left.
Teenage sensation Joao Felix was signed for a world-record fee for a teenager to be the long-term successor to the departed Frenchman.
Kieran Trippier’s also been signed to amplify their wide options, while Marcos Llorente, as well as Hector Herrera, should also solidify their midfield.
Brazilian defender Felipe along with young Spaniard Mario Hermoso are all set to make sure Los Rojiblancos maintain their reputation among the best defensive sides in Europe.
Despite Atletico’s strong side, the title race will probably be between Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Both sides have their ups and downs, but Barcelona should reclaim the title, especially if they get Neymar’s transfer sealed before the end of the window.
