What a season it was a year ago for Real Madrid, as they not only won La Liga, but they also won the Champions League for the second straight season and third time in four years. It was the first time since 1957-58 that Real Madrid pulled off the domestic and continental double. Los Blancos head into the 2017-2018 as the clear favorite to win La Liga even with Cristiano Ronaldo missing the first five games due to suspension. Barcelona looks weaker without Neymar and the injured Luis Suarez, so it might be Atletico Madrid that is the challenger to Real Madrid in La Liga in 2017-2018. Oddsmakers have made Real Madrid the odds-on favorite to win La Liga this season.
Real Madrid La Liga Futures Odds
Odds To Win La Liga: -140
Odds to Finish in Top 4: -50,000
It is pretty much a given that Real Madrid will finish in the Top 4 in La Liga once again in 2017-2018. It also looks really good for Real Madrid to win the league with the troubles Barcelona is having. Real Madrid is loaded with talent again this season led by Ronaldo, and it doesn’t hurt that the team added Theo Hernandez from Alaves and Dani Ceballos from Betis.

Real Madrid 2017-18 Predictions
It is hard to argue with what Zinedine Zidane has done at Real Madrid, as he led them to a La Liga title and back-to-back Champions League crowns. Los Merengues begin this season as the clear favorite to win La Liga and they are once again one of the favorites to win the Champions League.
The addition of Cebello is a great one for Real Madrid, as he could be a future star. Real will also be helped this season by the recall of Marcos Llorente from Alaves where he averaged 3.8 tackles per contest. Not to be left out is his teammate Theo Hernandez who should fit in nicely with Real this season.
Real Madrid is hoping to win six trophies this season. It won’t be easy but Zidane has a lot of talent at his disposal. Real Madrid already has dispatched Barcelona with relative ease in the Super Cup, so they are off to a good start. Real has two excellent strikers in Ronaldo and Benzema and they have depth behind those two with players like Isco and Asensio.
Oddsmakers are well aware of just how good Real Madrid is, as they set the odds on the team winning La Liga at -140. Those odds may continue to rise, as Barcelona looks to be much weaker than they were a year ago without Neymar and without the injured Suarez. Real will miss Ronaldo early in the season but the early season schedule is favorable and Real should be able to win without him.
The key player for Real is of course Ronaldo, who is coming off a great season a year ago. Can he continue his outstanding play in 2017-2018 or will he start to slow down? If Ronaldo plays close to the level he did a year ago it should be another La Liga title for Real, but if he starts to slow down the door may be ajar for Atletico to give Real Madrid a battle for the top spot in La Liga in 2017-2018.
