Barcelona v Osasuna
It's top v bottom when Barcelona take on Osasuna at the Nou Camp on Wednesday, and you have to fear for the visitors who have already shipped 75 goals this season. Not only are they taking on the league's top scorers (Barce have 94 so far this campaign), but they also have to deal with the most in form striker in Europe.
Lionel Messi has an incredible 47 goals this season, with 31 of those coming in the league, and he'll fancy his chances of adding to that total against a team who he has scored 19 goals against in his last 10 starts!
He grabbed a double away earlier this season, and helped himself to a hat-trick last season, so he'll be itching to add some more goals as he stretches his historic lead in La Liga Goalscoring history.
He is available at 21/10 to open the scoring with Bet365 and that appeals given the each-way odds of 1/3 odds for unlimited places. Effectively you are getting your 2/1 bet (probably about the right price), then a 4/6 bet on the place - not bad given he's scored in 18 of 24 home games this season, and this is arguably the easiest of the lot.
It's also worth taking the 5/1 available with Betfred on him grabbing a hatrick. He's only scored two this season, but he has scored 3,4,3,2 in the last four home games against Osasuna.
