Spanish La Liga Predictions

La Liga stats and tips

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

Espanyol have dominated Malaga in the league of late, putting together a run of 5 straight wins against them. J. Funes Arjona will be hoping for a change in fortunes, 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 fans have come to expect drama at each end when their team plays in La Liga, with both teams having scored in each of their last 8 games. 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 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 E. Sánchez Flores's men could keep the score down.

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

There's some serious momentum building behind FC Barcelona of late. They've claimed victory in 7 consecutive La Liga games, and H. Flick will be giving his utmost to continue that form as they go into battle with Getafe at Camp Nou on Saturday evening.

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

The home win is far and away the most popular bet among KickOff's tipsters as Real Madrid and Villarreal clash in La Liga on Saturday. No fewer than 18 have bet on it, with best odds of 1.30 catching their eye.

Elche v Celta - Both Teams To Score - yes

Elche CF followers have been spoilt with entertainment at each end when their team plays in La Liga, with both teams having found the net in all of their last 5 outings. Celta de Vigo on Sunday afternoon may well be another goal-fest.

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

KickOff's tipsters have a strong feeling about this match, and the evidence to back it up. On Sunday, 7 have opted to back Real Sociedad to beat Deportivo de La Coruna at Anoeta. Taking advantage of best odds of 1.70 from some of the UK's leading bookmakers, available on KickOff, they'll be praying P. Matarazzo delivers a masterclass and brings home that much-needed victory.

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

A simple tally suggests our tipsters have a great deal of belief in M. Pellegrini and his managerial skills, and ability to claim a win for Real Betis on Sunday evening. 7 have bet on him to guide his side to win against Osasuna. Will he repay the trust placed in him? We'll know by the end of the 90.

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

Racing de Santander's recent La Liga outings have been full of goalmouth drama. All of their last 5 have had over 2.5 goals, and Sunday against Valencia CF may well provide more of the same. Neutrals will be hoping that J. López Menéndez and J. Aguirre Onaindía send their sides out to attack.

Levante v Sevilla - Over / Under 4.5 Goals - under

Sevilla's recent games in La Liga have delivered goals and thrills along the way, but it has been some time since L. García Plaza's side gave their followers a ding-dong battle with goals galore. There have been no more than 4 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, they've delivered proper entertainment. Both teams have scored in each of their last 5 clashes, so the Estadio Municipal de Riazor faithful could be in for another nail-biter 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 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 parking of the bus from J. González Álvarez's men could prevent more of the same.

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

Elche CF will be looking to avoid adding to the 4 games they have already been losing at both the break and the final whistle this season when they play Villarreal on Saturday. M. Anselmi's team already lead the rest of La Liga in that category, 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 generally followed. Both sides have scored in each of their last 5 matches against one another, so the Estadio Olímpico de Sevilla crowd will be expecting another classic on Saturday evening.

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

Valencia CF and Athletic Bilbao have laboured through a number of tight clashes in recent years. With each of their last 5 La Liga clashes seeing under 2.5 goals, the attackers picked by J. Aguirre Onaindía and E. Terzic may be in for a tough 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.
