Analysis of the calendar that will decide La Liga title

Matchday 27 of LaLiga Santander ended with Real Betis' 2-1 win over Real Madrid at the Estadio Benito Villamarin.

We've had to wait a while until Matchday 28, but it's interesting to see the Real Madrid and Betis have the easiest and most difficult run-ins respectively for the rest of the campaign.

Los Blancos are predicted to take 17.654 points from their remaining 11 fixtures this season, while Los Verdiblancos's predicted tally is just 12.352 points.

These numbers are just averages and are there to provide a reference to how the standings could look come the end of Matchday 38 based on teams' previous results this season.

Barcelona are the best performing team at home in the league and drop, on average, just 0.071 points per game this season at the Camp Nou.

Compare that to Espanyol, the worst performing team at home, who drop two points per home game on average this season.

In the fight for the LaLiga Santander title, Barcelona's kindest away fixtures seem to be against Sevilla, Alaves, Villarreal and Real Valladolid if you look at the average number of points these teams drop at home.

As for Real Madrid, they travel to some of the toughest stadiums in Spain, with Real Sociedad, Granada and Athletic Club particularly strong in front of their own fans.

Los Blancos also host the third best away team in Getafe, who drop just 1.154 points per away game this season.

However, Zinedine Zidane's side host three of the four worst performing teams away from home in Real Mallorca, Alaves and Eibar and visit the two worst home teams in Leganes and Espanyol.

In the hunt for the Champions League places, it seems as though Sevilla and Valencia have the easiest run-ins.

At the bottom, Celta Vigo and Valladolid can count themselves lucky that their run-in is kinder than those also battling for survival.
