Spanish La Liga Predictions

La Liga stats and tips

Malaga v Espanyol - Win / Draw / Win - away win

Espanyol have dominated Malaga in the league recently, with a run of 5 straight wins against them. J. Funes Arjona will be desperate to stop the rot, while J. González Álvarez will be hopeful of more of the same on Friday night.

R.Vallecano v A.Bilbao - Both Teams To Score - yes

Rayo Vallecano followers have become used to entertainment at each end when their side plays in La Liga, with both teams having found the net in all of their last 8 matches. Athletic Bilbao on Saturday afternoon should be another goal-fest.

Alaves v A.Madrid - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over

If you're looking for some proper entertainment on Saturday afternoon, then the clash between Atletico de Madrid and Alaves could be one to watch. D. Simeone's team lead La Liga in most matches with at least 3 goals scored so far this season. 6 of their La Liga games have already gone that way. With form like that, surely only a defensive masterclass from E. Sánchez Flores's men could keep the score down.

Barcelona v Getafe - Win / Draw / Win - home win

It's all eyes on FC Barcelona in recent weeks. They've won 7 consecutive La Liga outings, and H. Flick will be giving his utmost to keep that run going as they come up against Getafe at Camp Nou on Saturday evening.

Real Madrid v Villarreal - Win / Draw / Win - home win

Villarreal and their supporters could be forgiven for feeling apprehensive as they head to Santiago Bernabéu. Home victories occur most of the time in La Liga, and it's assumed by many that Real Madrid and their manager José Mourinho will grab another one as they do battle with I. Pérez Soto's side on Saturday night. 14 of KickOff's bettors have bet on the home win, making the most of best odds of 1.30, and KickOff's predictive algorithm gives a 71.39% chance of exactly that happening.

Elche v Celta - Both Teams To Score - yes

Elche CF fans have come to expect drama at each end when their team plays in La Liga, with both teams having scored in all of their last 5 matches. Celta de Vigo on Sunday afternoon could be another goal-fest.

R.Sociedad v Deportivo - Win / Draw / Win - home win

There's nothing wrong with keeping it simple, and the members of KickOff, it could be argued, are doing exactly that by backing the home win as Real Sociedad and Deportivo de La Coruna clash in La Liga on Sunday. A total of 6 have already gone for it, with top odds of 1.70 enough to make them believe they can turn a profit.

Real Betis v Osasuna - Win / Draw / Win - home win

Our buzzing hive of football tipsters clearly has a lot of optimism around M. Pellegrini and his managerial skills, and ability to claim a win for Real Betis on Sunday evening. 6 have bet on him to inspire his team to emerge victorious from their encounter with Osasuna. Surely the home gaffer won't fail to deliver, will he?

R.Santander v Valencia - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over

Racing de Santander's recent La Liga games have been brimming with goalmouth drama. All of their last 5 have had over 2.5 goals, and Sunday against Valencia CF should be more of the same. Neutrals will be hoping that J. López Menéndez and J. Aguirre Onaindía send their lads out to go for glory.

Levante v Sevilla - Over / Under 4.5 Goals - under

Sevilla's recent matches in La Liga have delivered spills and thrills aplenty, but it has been a while since L. García Plaza's players treated their fans to the kind of wild ride they'll remember for years to come. There have been under 4.5 goals in each of their last 9 games.

Deportivo v Levante - Both Teams To Score - yes

When Deportivo de La Coruna and Levante have met in the league, goals have been the order of the day. Both sides have scored in each of their last 5 clashes, so the Estadio Municipal de Riazor faithful will be expecting another classic on Friday night.

Espanyol v A.Madrid - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over

If you're not busy on Saturday afternoon, then the clash between Atletico de Madrid and Espanyol could be worth checking out. D. Simeone's team lead La Liga in most matches with over 2.5 goals so far this season. 6 of their La Liga games have already gone that way. With form like that, surely only a defensive masterclass from J. González Álvarez's men could keep the score down.

Villarreal v Elche - Half Time / Full Time - home+home

Elche CF will be hoping not to add to the 4 games they have already lost at both HT and FT this term when they play Villarreal on Saturday. M. Anselmi's side already top the rest of La Liga in that department, and won't want to make the situation any worse. Opposing boss I. Pérez Soto will be licking his lips, however.

Real Betis v Barcelona - Both Teams To Score - yes

When Real Betis and FC Barcelona have met in the La Liga, goals have been the order of the day. Both teams have scored in each of their last 5 meetings, so the Estadio Olímpico de Sevilla crowd will be expecting another thriller on Saturday evening.

Valencia v A.Bilbao - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under

Valencia CF and Athletic Bilbao have played out a number of cagey affairs in recent years. With each of their last 5 La Liga meetings ending with under 2.5 goals, the strikers picked by J. Aguirre Onaindía and E. Terzic may be going home disappointed on night.

Celta v Alaves - Half Time / Full Time - draw+draw

It might not be an honour they're especially proud of, but Alaves currently lead all opposition in La Liga when it comes to games drawn at both HT and FT this season, with their tally now at 2 in 7 games. They will put that unwanted consistency on the line against Celta de Vigo at Balaídos on Sunday, in a fixture that could see yet another stalemate.

Getafe v R.Vallecano - Both Teams To Score - yes

Fans at Coliseum Alfonso Pérez may be anticipating action at both ends on Monday, and they're right to, if Rayo Vallecano's recent record is to be continued. Both teams have found the net in 7 of their 7 La Liga fixtures this season, a record matched by no other team in the competition.

Levante v A.Bilbao - Win / Draw / Win - away win

The stattos of this world may tell us that away wins aren't so common, but KO's ever-growing set of users are certainly anticipating one as E. Terzic and his Athletic Bilbao side arrive at Ciutat de Valencia on Wednesday night. 10 of our users are predicting that L. Ferreira de Castro's Levante will have to endure defeat in their own ground. It's a big shout, but the crowd has spoken.
