La Liga stats and tips
Levante v A.Madrid - Win / Draw / Win - away win
Top-level football may generally have fewer away wins than home wins, but our wise old community of users are definitely expecting one as D. Simeone and his Atletico de Madrid side rock up to Ciutat de Valencia on Saturday afternoon. 5 of those tipsters are predicting that L. Ferreira de Castro's Levante will have to endure defeat on their own patch. It's a big shout, but the crowd has spoken.
R.Vallecano v Celta - Double Chance - away win or draw
C. Giráldez González and his Celta de Vigo troops have developed a convenient habit of getting something from just about every La Liga match they play. They're unbeaten in 7 in La Liga now, so B. San José Gil and his Rayo Vallecano side will need to be on top of their game if they're to get the win at Campo de Fútbol de Vallecas on Saturday.
Real Betis v Malaga - Win / Draw / Win - home win
Malaga will, it could be argued, have the opportunity to play without pressure as face a tough trip to Benito Villamarín. Home wins occur regularly in La Liga, and the expectation is that Real Betis and their coach M. Pellegrini will grab exactly that as they face J. Funes Arjona's troops on Saturday evening. 46 of our bettors have are backing just that, taking advantage of top odds of 1.33, and our 65.77 gives a 65.77% probability of them being proved correct.
Barcelona v Alaves - Win / Draw / Win - home win
Alaves are in for a big test as they go to Camp Nou. Home wins occur frequently in La Liga, and it's assumed by many that FC Barcelona and their manager H. Flick will claim exactly that as they do battle with E. Sánchez Flores's side on Saturday night. 40 of our members have predicted that outcome, with top odds of 1.10, and KO's algorithm places a 76.25% probability of exactly that happening.
Getafe v Sevilla - Over / Under 3.5 Goals - under
Sevilla travel to Getafe for this Sunday afternoon match. 5 of our bettors believe it will wind up with 3 goals or less. That could mean anything from a nil-nil to an exciting, ding-dong 2-1 win for one side or another. It does rule out a real humdinger though.
R.Santander v Real Madrid - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over
We may have a high-scoring affair on our hands when Racing de Santander and Real Madrid clash on Sunday afternoon in La Liga. J. López Menéndez and José Mourinho's XIs are capable of delivering at the top of the park, and our smart tipsters believe they will again at El Sardinero. 5 of them are tipping the game to have over 2.5 goals in total. 1.20 is the highest price available for this suggestion, and it could well be one to watch.
Elche v Valencia - Over / Under 5.5 Goals - under
Anyone on the lookout for a wild match with goals galore on Sunday evening, Elche CF v Valencia CF on Sunday evening may be one to avoid. Every one of Elche CF's last 275 league games has had under 5.5 goals, and it seems unlikely that M. Anselmi's side end that run any time soon.
A.Bilbao v R.Sociedad - Win / Draw / Win - home win
Real Sociedad are in for a big test as they go to San Mamés. Home wins occur more often than not in La Liga, and most would expect Athletic Bilbao and their coach E. Terzic will claim another one as they square up against P. Matarazzo's troops on Sunday night. 6 of KO's users have are backing just that, taking advantage of top odds of 2.15, and KO's algorithm suggests there's 46.82% probability of exactly that happening.
Deportivo v Osasuna - Both Teams To Score - yes
Supporters at ABANCA-Riazor will be anticipating goals galore on Monday, and rightly so 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, a record matched by no other team 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 sides have scored in each of their last 6 clashes, so the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán faithful will be expecting another nail-biter on Friday night.
Malaga v R.Santander - Double Chance - away win or draw
Malaga have consistently struggled against Racing de Santander in the La Liga in recent years. The two clubs have clashed on 6 occasions since 2022, and Racing de Santander have gone unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at La Rosaleda could be another hard one for J. Funes Arjona & co.
Espanyol v Deportivo - Double Chance - home win or draw
Deportivo de La Coruna have found something of a bogey team in Espanyol in the La Liga in recent years. The two clubs have met on 5 occasions since 2016, and Espanyol have been unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at RCDE Stadium could be another hard 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 teams have met on 6 occasions since 2023, and Athletic Bilbao have been unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at El Sadar could be another hard one for J. Arrasate & co.
Valencia v Real Madrid - Both Teams To Score & Result - away
Valencia CF will know that 1 goal probably won't be enough to come out on top against Real Madrid on Saturday night. José Mourinho's men have the best record in La Liga when it comes to claiming victory despite conceding (6 of their 10 games), so defence first 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 have found something of a bogey team in Rayo Vallecano in the La Liga in recent years. The two teams have met on 6 occasions since 2023, and Rayo Vallecano have been unbeaten in them all. Sunday's game at Anoeta could be a tricky one for P. Matarazzo & co.
Celta v Levante - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Low scoring fixtures aren't always boring, but fans of Celta de Vigo have had plenty of opportunity to test that theory this campaign. 7 of their side's encounters 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 side be able to inject goals into this fixture on Sunday? Or will it be yet another low scoring affair?
Villarreal v Getafe - Both Teams To Score - no
If we trust the form book, we can expect at least one goalkeeper to keep a clean sheet at Estadio de la Cerámica on Sunday, as J. Bordalás Jiménez and I. Pérez Soto's teams meet. Getafe have had the highest number of matches where one team or more has not found the net (i.e. BTTS no) in La Liga so far this campaign - 7 out of 10 played. Both gaffers will just be desperate that it isn't their side that fails to register.
A.Madrid v Barcelona - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over
If you fancy a thriller 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 more than 2 goals scored so far this season. 9 of their La Liga games have already gone that way. With a record like that, surely only a parking of the bus from D. Simeone's men could keep the score down.
R.Vallecano v A.Bilbao - Both Teams To Score - yes
Rayo Vallecano supporters have been spoilt with entertainment at each end when their team plays in La Liga, with both sides having scored at least one goal in each of their last 8 matches. Athletic Bilbao on Saturday afternoon should be another thriller.
