European Football Tips For The Weekend – 14th & 15th January
With 61 goals in just 17 games, La Liga leaders Real Madrid have been brilliantly attacking this season averaging 3.58 goals per game. The trio of Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Gonzalo Higuian have scored 44 goals collectively and all three players should feature at the Iberostar Stadium.
Real Madrid have won 6 on the bounce on the road and in each of their last 16 away wins Real have been winning at the break. Opponents Mallorca tend to keep games tight, but the same could have been said for Real’s last opponents Granada, who Real Madrid soundly beat 5-1. Victory for Jose Mourinho would see Real Madrid move 8 points clear, with Barcelona due to play Real Betis on Sunday and Real Madrid on paper should also find themselves ahead at half time.
