Analysis
Real Madrid vs Real Oviedo
The most likely scenario for this match is that there will be plenty of goals. The game should be largely controlled by Real Madrid; however, Real Oviedo are a bold side and it would not be surprising if they manage to exploit some defensive inconsistencies from the opposition. As such, given the lack of objectives for both sides and the defensive fragility shown, a lively match with the scoreboard ticking over regularly is anticipated.
Primera División
Basel vs St. Gallen
As has often been the case in FC Basel home matches, it is natural to expect them to concede goals, especially against FC St. Gallen, who are one of the best teams playing away from home. We are only avoiding the draw no bet market in favour of St. Gallen because Basel occasionally “wake up” and are capable of producing a performance in line with their potential, as happened recently when they beat FC Thun by (3-1). Therefore, the bet we consider the most prudent, while at the same time highly likely to land, is: both teams to score and over 2.5 goals.

Sion vs Lugano
This promises to be the standout match of round 37. Either side finishing in 3rd place would be justified. If it is FC Sion, it would be the reward for a team that has been consistent from the very first match. If it is FC Lugano, it would also be deserved, especially after the strong recovery they made following a poor start to the season. Sion, at home, will push hard and try everything to win, and they may well have the arguments to do so. On the other side, Lugano are expected to be more compact and cautious, looking to exploit the opponent’s mistakes. Even so, the “Sion draw no bet” market deserves attention, as it protects against a draw and wins if the home side take victory.
