This article focuses on 6/12 La Liga Picks for DraftKings and FanDuel Sportsbook and DraftKings Daily Fantasy. We consider tournament tactics, statistics, pricing, and attempt to tackle this highly variable Daily Fantasy format so we can gain an edge on the field at large.
6/12 La Liga
Day Two of our La Liga run involves a two game slate beginning 1:30pm ET. Valencia is the biggest favorite on the slate and the most notable team, having advanced to the Champion’s League Round of 16 prior to elimination. The other game, Getafe vs. Granada is expected to be incredibly low scoring with a total under 1.5.
The last time we saw Valencia was that Champion’s League elimination game against Atalanta. Not only did they give up four goals to Atalanta striker Joseph Illicic, but the game became notorious for being a giant catalyst in the spread of the coronavirus all over Europe. They will look to put that one behind them and restart on the right foot.
6/12 La Liga Best Bet
Levante (+360) at Valencia (-145) – Under 3 Goals (-120) – 2:00 PM ET – Friday 6/12 – *VALENCIA*
The Betting Game Plan
Levante has not won visiting the Mestalla since 1937. This Valencia team didn’t have the muscle to go any farther than they finished in the Champion’s League. However, they should be able to beat their local rival and help you win your money line bet.
6/12 DraftKings Point Per Dollar Rankings
- 1. Marc Cucurella – Getafe – $7,600 – CASH CORE – This is a solid price given Cucurella’s recent floor prior to the coronavirus stoppage. In cash games lock it in and strong play in all formats. None of his points are goal dependent at all so he presents little variance.
- 2. Dani Parejo – Valencia – $9,600 – CASH CORE – Valencia’s set piece taker makes for a clear choice as the cash game payup with Valencia the slate’s biggest favorite. Where he doesn’t have the floor some set piece takers/cross extraordinares often have, he has higher goal scoring upside to help compensate.
- 3. Jason – Getafe – $8,800 – Jason is more of a cash forward as he only has one goal and four assists across his 11 appearances this season “at Valencia”. He is projected to start despite not playing since arriving on loan from Valencia, so something to watch.
- 4. Damian Suarez – Getafe – $7,200 – The price is high but gives us a solid floor, sending in tons of crosses.
- 5. Jose Gaya – Valencia – $5,600 – Gives us some value with a solid floor. Wing defender for Valencia as a decent favorite.
- 6. Maxi Gomez/Rodrigo – Valencia – $8,500/7,700 – You need a goal from either of these two, but I think the price is fair enough. More tournament plays as scoring dependent players.
- 7. Daniel Wass – Valencia – $6,100 – Roaming the wing opposite Gaya with a similar outlook.
- 8. David Soria – Getafe – $4,900 – Favored goalie in a super low total game.
- 9. Jasper Cillessen – Valencia – $5,500 – The other goalie in play.
- 10. Ferran Torres/Kevin Gameiro – Valencia – $8,300/$8,100 – Strong tournament options who may get overlooked with other options in the Valencia attack prioritized. It must be noted that Gameiro is likely to sit if Maxi Gomez is back in the lineup.
6/12 La Liga Monkey Knife Fight Picks
The 2.5 for Rodrigo would take a strong game, so think the under hits more than not. I think that a double under on this is the play.
