La Liga stats and tips
Villarreal v Espanyol - Win / Draw / Win - home win
Like most fans around the globe, Villarreal's dedicated supporters have come to expect a lot from their team and, according to KO's tipsters, they may just have them met on Friday night. 18 of those users are predicting that I. Pérez Soto's team will get the win as E. Sarabia Armesto's Espanyol visit Estadio de la Cerámica. Will the wisdom of the crowd be proved correct? Or could we be set for a big upset?
Levante v A.Madrid - Win / Draw / Win - away win
Claiming victory in the lions' den that is Ciutat de Valencia is tough for absolutely any team, but clearly D. Simeone has shown enough as Atletico de Madrid gaffer to prove to our members that he’s able to guide his team to just that - 5 have have tipped the away win in Saturday’s La Liga match between Levante and D. Simeone. Fancy taking the same bet? Best odds of 1.53 can be grabbed just up the page.
R.Vallecano v Celta - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Low scoring fixtures aren't always boring, but fans of Celta de Vigo have had lots of chances to test that theory this season. 7 of their side's fixtures in La Liga have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will B. San José Gil and his Rayo Vallecano team be capable of adding some goals into this encounter on Saturday? Or will it be more of the same?
Real Betis v Malaga - Win / Draw / Win - home win
Malaga will be under no illusions as to the scale of the task at hand as they visit Benito Villamarín. Home victories occur more often than not in La Liga, and it's assumed by many that Real Betis and their coach M. Pellegrini will claim exactly that as they face J. Funes Arjona's charges on Saturday evening. 33 of our users have bet on the home win, making the most of best odds of 1.33, and our 65.25 places a 65.25% probability of just that.
Barcelona v Alaves - Win / Draw / Win - home win
Recent activity among our tipsters shows a number of them trust H. Flick and his managerial skills, and ability to claim victory for FC Barcelona on Saturday night. 23 have bet on him to inspire his team to beat Alaves. Surely the home gaffer won't fail to deliver, will he?
Getafe v Sevilla - Both Teams To Score - no
If the form book is to be believed, we can back at least one set of players to earn a clean sheet at Coliseum Alfonso Pérez on Sunday, as J. Bordalás Jiménez and L. García Plaza's sides clash. Getafe have had the most fixtures where one team or more has failed to find the back of the net (i.e. BTTS no) in La Liga so far this term - 7 out of 10 played. Both managers will just be hoping it isn't their team that fails to register.
R.Santander v Real Madrid - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over
We could just get one of the games of the season when Racing de Santander and Real Madrid go head-to-head on Sunday afternoon in La Liga. J. López Menéndez and José Mourinho's squads are capable of delivering at the top of the park, and our smart tipsters fancy them to demonstrate that at El Sardinero. 5 of them have saved a bet the match to contain over 2.5 goals in total. 1.20 is the most-enticing price available for this bet, and it could well be one to watch.
Elche v Valencia - Over / Under 5.5 Goals - under
If you're looking for a wild match with goals galore on Sunday evening, Elche CF v Valencia CF on Sunday evening may be one to skip. All of Elche CF's last 275 league matches has had under 5.5 goals, and nobody's expecting that M. Anselmi's side put an end to that run in the near future.
A.Bilbao v R.Sociedad - Win / Draw / Win - home win
Our buzzing hive of football tipsters clearly has a lot of optimism around E. Terzic and his managerial skills, and ability to claim a win for Athletic Bilbao on Sunday night. 6 have backed him to inspire his team to beat Real Sociedad. Here's hoping that their faith in him isn't misplaced.
Deportivo v Osasuna - Both Teams To Score - yes
Supporters at ABANCA-Riazor will be anticipating action at both ends on Monday, and with good reason if Deportivo de La Coruna's past record is to be continued. We've seen BTTS in 8 of their 10 La Liga fixtures this season, more than any side in the competition.
Sevilla v Alaves - Both Teams To Score - yes
When Sevilla and Alaves have met in the La Liga, goals have generally followed. Both teams have scored in each of their last 6 meetings, so the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán faithful could be in for another classic on Friday night.
Malaga v R.Santander - Double Chance - away win or draw
Malaga have found something of a bogey team in Racing de Santander in the La Liga in recent years. The two clubs have played on 6 occasions since 2022, and Racing de Santander have been unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at La Rosaleda could be a really difficult one for J. Funes Arjona & co.
Espanyol v Deportivo - Double Chance - home win or draw
Deportivo de La Coruna simply have not been able to find a way past Espanyol in the La Liga in recent years. The two sides have played on 5 occasions since 2016, and Espanyol have gone unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at RCDE Stadium could be a really difficult one for A. Hidalgo Morilla & co.
Osasuna v A.Bilbao - Double Chance - away win or draw
Osasuna have consistently struggled against Athletic Bilbao in the La Liga in recent years. The two clubs have played on 6 occasions since 2023, and Athletic Bilbao have been unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at El Sadar could be a really difficult one for J. Arrasate & co.
Valencia v Real Madrid - Both Teams To Score & Result - away
Valencia CF will know that 1 goal may not be enough to claim victory over Real Madrid on Saturday night. José Mourinho's side have the best record in La Liga when it comes to conceding yet still claiming victory (6 of their 10 games), so focusing on defence might be the only viable route for J. Aguirre Onaindía and his Valencia CF team at Mestalla.
Elche v Real Betis - Half Time / Full Time - away+away
Elche CF will be hoping not to add to the 4 matches they have already lost at both the break and the final whistle this term when they take on Real Betis on Sunday. M. Anselmi's side already lead the rest of La Liga in that category, and won't want to make the situation any worse. Opposing boss M. Pellegrini will be licking his lips, however.
R.Sociedad v R.Vallecano - Double Chance - away win or draw
Real Sociedad simply have not been able to find a way past Rayo Vallecano in the La Liga in recent years. The two clubs have met on 6 occasions since 2023, and Rayo Vallecano have gone unbeaten in them all. Sunday's game at Anoeta could be another hard one for P. Matarazzo & co.
Celta v Levante - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Low scoring encounters aren't always boring, but fans of Celta de Vigo have had lots of chances to test that theory this term. 7 of their side's matches in La Liga have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will L. Ferreira de Castro and his Levante team be able to inject goals into this match on Sunday? Or will it be yet another low scoring affair?
Villarreal v Getafe - Both Teams To Score - no
If the form book is to be believed, we can back at least one set of players to earn a clean sheet at Estadio de la Cerámica on Sunday, as J. Bordalás Jiménez and I. Pérez Soto's sides clash. Getafe have had the highest number of matches where one team or more has failed to score (i.e. BTTS no) in La Liga so far this term - 7 out of 10 played. Both managers will just be desperate that it isn't their team that flounders in front of goal.
A.Madrid v Barcelona - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over
If you're looking for some proper entertainment on Sunday night, then the clash between FC Barcelona and Atletico de Madrid could be one to watch. H. Flick's team lead La Liga in most matches with at least 3 goals scored so far this season. 9 of their La Liga games have already gone that way. With form like that, surely only a parking of the bus from D. Simeone's men could ruin the spectacle.
