SPORTSBOOKS DECLARE 2017-2018 SPANISH LA LIGA TITLE FAVORITES
Real Madrid (-110)
Can Real Madrid be stopped? That’s the question on everyone’s lips after the Galacticos sealed yet another league win last season. Real survived a late-season wobble to edge past a resurgent Barcelona side by just three points and win the La Liga crown for the first time in five years. Leading the way for Real Madrid was the red-hot Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese superstar scored a whopping 25 goals and dished out six assists last season. With Real’s title-winning squad remaining intact, it isn’t far-fetched to see the Merengues win their 34th La Liga crown this season.
Barcelona (-110)
With just a couple of weeks remaining before the start of the new La Liga season, the Catalans are in deep crisis. Barca’s vaunted MSN forward line is now kaput with the sudden departure of Neymar to Paris Saint-Germain in a world-record £198m deal. The Catalans will sorely miss the services of the Brazilian superstar who netted 68 goals in 112 games for Barcelona.
The onus now is on Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez to carry the scoring cudgels in Neymar’s absence. Messi has scored 251 times in 320 appearances for Barca while Suarez has netted 85 goals in 97 matches for the Catalans.
Atletico Madrid (+3,300)
Atletico Madrid’s transfer ban may have been upheld by the Court of Arbitration for Sport last June but the Rojiblancos still came away winners this past offseason. They managed to hold on to manager Diego Simeone and Antoine Griezmann who surprisingly resisted overtures from rival European clubs. Griezmann has been a vital cog in Atleti’s recent success, scoring 60 goals in 111 appearances for the Spanish club. They are pegged at +3,300 to win the La Liga trophy this season.
