La Liga betting for matchday two sees Real Madrid make a trip to Espanyol, the city of Barcelona's second club. The new Galacticos will be looking to build on an opening day win at Deportivo La Coruna, where Kaka and Ronaldo were short of 100%. The La Liga odds favoured Barcelona to retain their title, and the Catalans have started the season strongly winning the Spanish Super Cup, European Super Cup and opening La Liga fixture, where their big summer signing, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, got on the score-sheet. La Liga Betting Odds - Big Week for Barca
It has been a hectic start to the new season for Barcelona. The Catalans emerged as 5-1 winners over Athletic Bilbao in two legs of the Spanish Super Cup, then had to jet off to Monaco for the European Super Cup, which they won in extra time, over Shakhtar Donetsk. Three days after that draining win, Barca were in action at the Nou Camp in their opening La Liga fixture, which they won 3-0.
Josep Guardiola's star-studded international squad then jet off for World Cup qualifiers, so he will hope they return unscathed as the Barca's schedule continues to be very tight. On Sunday September 13th they play away at Getafe, then prepare for a huge Champions League clash on September 16th at the San Siro to face Inter Milan. Bettors should bear all this in mind when handicapping the Catalans for matchday two.
