La Liga Betting: Best Future Bets (2021)
With just over 1/3 of the 2021-22 La Liga season now complete, the contenders are emerging from the pretenders as the teams’ jockey for position into the converted top five. While the top four will qualify for UEFA Champion’s league, 5th place will qualify for the UEFA Cup, and the bottom three will be relegated to the 2nd tier league.
Let’s take a closer look at where the teams sit now and where the value is in the season-long future market.

Outright Betting – Sevilla +650
Currently sitting with 27 points and tied for #2 on the table, there’s no hotter team in Spain than Sevilla. Over their last five matches, Sevilla has secured wins in four, including a win on Sunday over the equally hot Real Betis.
With a goal differential of +14, the trail just Real Madrid in that category and come into the break with a staggering 21 goals. Erik Lamela and Rafa Mir lead all scorers with a combined 8 goals, and if they can manage to stay hot, I like for Sevilla to continue to make waves into the spring.
Relegation – Levante -115
Levante hasn’t just been bad through their first 13 games, but downright awful. Coming into the break with a league-worst -13 goal differential, Levante is the only winless team in the league and has just two points (draws) since the middle of September.
The one bright spot Jose Luis Morales has five goals on the season, but with little help around him, things will likely get worse before they get better for a team whose toughest tests of the season still lie ahead. Additionally, their 25 goals allowed on the season highlight a back four that can’t stop much of anything and are a clear five goals ahead of the next closest opponent.
