The round in three lines
Biggest margin: Barcelona by 5 — a 5-0 away rout of Elche at the Estadio Martínez Valero, the round's only multi-goal margin outside Athletic's home loss to Sevilla.
Five draws out of ten — Rayo Vallecano-Alavés, Valencia-Celta Vigo, Atlético Madrid-Villarreal, Osasuna-Levante and Málaga-Deportivo all shared the points, exactly the kind of round a straight home/away tip gets no credit for calling right.
Two home upsets — Athletic Club lost 1-3 to Sevilla at San Mamés and Espanyol went down 1-2 to Real Madrid, the round's two results that went against home advantage by more than a single goal.
Five draws in one round is exactly the kind of result a straight home/away tip can't reward properly. Running a La Liga competition with your mates this season? A TippingMates ladder updates itself off results like these automatically — no spreadsheet, no chasing anyone for their tips.
