BUNDESLIGA AND LA LIGA SATURDAY: The Ultra previews BAYERN MUNICH v BAYER LEVERKUSEN and REAL MADRID v VALENCIA with a recommended BETDAQ bet.
BAYERN MUNICH V BAYER LEVERKUSEN
5.30pm It’s another cracking Saturday from Europe on BETDAQ BETTING EXCHANGE! We have the Bundesliga and La Liga Champions both in action, and I’m sure the home double will be a popular bet this weekend! We kick off the action in the Bundesliga with Bayern Munich hosting Bayer Leverkusen – it already feels like so long ago that Leverkusen knocked Bayern off their perch. Bayern have come roaring back – they’ve had their best start to a season ever and the title race is basically over. Obviously Leverkusen have been through a lot recently too – Xabi Alonso left for Real Madrid and they have sold their best players. They then sacked Erik ten Hag after two games – the signs were he definitely lost the dressing room quickly because they have bounced back with four straight wins after a difficult start. That being said, this rivalry just isn’t there anymore – that is possibly the most frustrating thing about the Bundesliga – any club that really gets success tends to sell their best players or the manager moves on. We’ve seen it with RB Leipzig and now Bayer Leverkusen – they challenge Bayern for a little while and then they’re gone. Dortmund haven’t challenged in a while either.
That gulf in class is reflected in the betting here too. Bayern come into the game as the red-hot favourites – you’d hardly think that Leverkusen were thought of as the main challenger at the start of the season! Bayern Munich are trading as short as 1.24 with Bayer Leverkusen 13.0 and the draw is 8.0 at the time of writing. It’s hard to see anything bar a Bayern win here given the form they are in – their attacking figure is 2.41 compared to Leverkusen at 1.57, but obviously there’s no prizes for tipping 1.24 shots so we’ll have to look around the side markets for some value. The market is expecting goals – Over 2.5 goals is only five ticks bigger than the Bayern win, but it’s hard to see past a very high scoring game here. Leverkusen are highly likely to try and fight fire-with-fire and we should have an open game. Both Teams To Score is trading 1.7 which is an appealing price in my opinion; Bayern tend to approach games with the “we’ll score more than you” mentality and we should have an end-to-end game here. Another option is Over 3.5 goals at two ticks bigger; I couldn’t put anyone off either bet but I like the BTTS option at the odds.

REAL MADRID V VALENCIA
8pm We move over to La Liga next to finish Saturday as Real Madrid host Valencia. Real Madrid will come into this fixture buzzing after winning El Clasico last weekend – that gives them a five point cushion over Barcelona at the top of the table. Obviously it was a tense game that was full of drama as always, and although Real “only” won 2-1 and there was one goal in the difference, they dominated the game and looked the much better side. Barcelona actually finished the game with the higher possession figure, but most Barcelona fans were left unhappy with the performance level. Obviously it’s a long way to go in the title race – but it’s definitely advantage Real at the moment. This is a game that Real will be fully expected to win now, and it’s no surprise that they come into the game as the red-hot favourites. Real Madrid are trading 1.21 with Valencia 15.0 and the draw is 8.6 at the time of writing. Valencia have had a lacklustre start to the season, and I feel this one is going to be about how many goals can Real score rather than will they win.
Once again today, we’ll have to look around the side markets for some value. Valencia come into the weekend sitting in the bottom three, and their under-lining numbers are quite poor too. They have an average xG created of 1.15 which is the joint-fourth worst attacking figure in La Liga – compare that to Real’s figure at 2.22! Valencia have also been leaking chances; they sit in the bottom six on defensive figures. Obviously Valencia have been really struggling this season, and with Alonso keeping Real so solid at the back – I feel Los Blancos can keep a clean sheet here on the way to winning. Both Teams Not To Score is trading 1.94 which I was surprised to see when I clicked into that market. Real have really controlled their home games this season, and Valencia don’t offer much in attack.
