Analysis:

Free Soccer Play from Doc’s Spanish LaLiga Take Real Madrid -2.5 (-105) over Levante (8 a.m. EST, Saturday, January 17) We gave you a great +270 free pick winner last week from our Specialty League, Liga MX, with the Tijuana/America DRAW, and we are back with another high value free pick for our readers this week. Levante has taken points in three straight matches (two draws) and they have been competitive, albeit against a pretty favorable schedule. But now they take a huge step up in class and play one of their most difficult road matches of the season. These sides are on the complete opposite ends of the table, with Real Madrid sitting in second and Levante in 19th. Madrid has a goal differential of +24, while Levante is -9. Real Madrid sits more than 30 points above the visitors heading into this match. The home side is four points behind Barcelona for the league lead, so they won’t let this chance at an easy three points slip through their fingers. Real Madrid has scored 21 goals at home through nine matches while allowing only 6. That is some home pitch domination right there. The last time Levante visited, they left with their tails between their legs after a 6-0 loss. Real Madrid have a +9 goal differential in the last two meetings, as their visit to Levante produced a 4-1 win in the most recent meeting in September. We need Madrid to win by three or more here, and we expect a blowout in the early match on Saturday LaLiga. Read More Read Less
