La Liga stats and tips
R.Vallecano v Getafe - Win / Draw / Win - home win
Losing streaks can be incredibly difficult to break, but that's what's required of Getafe boss Pepe Bordalas on Friday. His side face Rayo Vallecano having failed to get anything but defeat out of their last 3 La Liga games.
Alaves v A.Madrid - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Alaves have taken part in some low-scoring matches in La Liga in recent weeks. There have been under 2.5 goals in every one of Eduardo Coudet's side's last 5 outings and, with Diego Simeone and his Atletico de Madrid ahead on Saturday afternoon, their forwards really should be putting in some more work in the build-up.
Villarreal v Osasuna - Win / Draw / Win - draw
If KO's bettors are correct, this fixture between Villarreal and Osasuna will be a close run thing between two evenly matched sides. 6 of our tipsters are forecasting this one will finish level after 90 minutes. The draw is available at odds of 4.20.
Las Palmas v Valencia - Double Chance - away win or draw
Luckily for them, it has been quite some time since Valencia CF’s merry followers watched their lads suffer defeat in La Liga. Carlos Corberan’s squad is now unbeaten in 8 outings, and he will be expecting that they can keep that streak running against Las Palmas at Estadio de Gran Canaria on Saturday evening. Top odds of 1.50 can be grabbed to back Valencia CF the double chance market.
Valladolid v Barcelona - Win / Draw / Win - away win
FC Barcelona would surely be delighted to learn of the confidence our betting community has in them, as 17 of them are expecting H. Flick and his boys to claim an away win as they visit Real Valladolid at José Zorrilla in La Liga on Saturday night. The home fans may not be happy about it, but that’s what they reckon will happen. If you wanted to place the same bet, 1.12 is today's price.
Real Madrid v Celta - Win / Draw / Win - home win
Real Madrid have enjoyed meeting Celta de Vigo in the La Liga recently, with their streak now extending to 9 straight wins against them. C. Giráldez González will be hoping for a change in fortunes, while Carlo Ancelotti will be expecting more of the same on Sunday afternoon.
Sevilla v Leganes - Double Chance - home win or draw
What a miserable succession of results for Leganes and their faithful followers, with their last La Liga victory now coming 7 games ago. Boss B. Jiménez Sáez simply must find a solution, and quickly. Will Sevilla at Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán on Sunday come too soon, or be a turning point?
Espanyol v Real Betis - Both Teams To Score - yes
Real Betis followers have become used to action at each end when their side plays in La Liga, with both sides having found the net in each of their last 6 matches. Espanyol on Sunday evening could be another ding-dong battle.
R.Sociedad v A.Bilbao - Half Time / Full Time - draw+draw
It might not be a record they're all that enamoured with, but Athletic Bilbao currently lead all other teams in La Liga when it comes to games drawn at both HT and FT this season, with their tally now at 8 in 33 matches. They will put that somewhat unwelcome consistency to the test against Real Sociedad at Anoeta on Sunday, in a clash that could see yet another stalemate.
Girona v Mallorca - Double Chance - away win or draw
What a dismal succession of results for Girona and their faithful followers, with their last La Liga win now coming 11 matches ago. Boss Miguel Ángel Sánchez Muñoz simply must find a solution, and sooner rather than later. Will Mallorca at Municipal de Montilivi on Monday come too soon, or be a turning point?
Las Palmas v R.Vallecano - Both Teams To Score - yes
Supporters at Estadio de Gran Canaria will be banking on goals galore on Friday, and they're right to, if Las Palmas's past record is to be continued. We've seen BTTS in 23 of their 33 La Liga fixtures this season, a record matched by no other team in the competition.
Valencia v Getafe - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Low scoring encounters aren't always entirely dull, but fans of Getafe have had too many chances to test that theory this campaign. 23 of their side's encounters in La Liga have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will Carlos Corberan and his Valencia CF side be capable of adding some goalmouth action into this clash on Saturday? Or will it be same old same old?
Mallorca v Valladolid - Half Time / Full Time - home+home
Real Valladolid will be hoping not to add to the 16 times they have already been behind in at both HT and FT this term when they square off against Mallorca on Saturday. Alvaro Pacheco's side already lead the rest of La Liga in that department, and won't want to make their record any worse. Opposing boss Jagoba Arrasate will be licking his lips, however.
A.Madrid v R.Sociedad - Double Chance - home win or draw
Real Sociedad simply have not been able to find a way past Atletico de Madrid in the La Liga in recent years. The two clubs have played on 10 occasions since 2020, and Atletico de Madrid have been unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at Wanda Metropolitano could be a really difficult one for Imanol Alguacil & co.
Valladolid v Girona - Both Teams To Score & Result -
If you like putting your money on goals and picking a winner, then the upcoming clash between Real Valladolid and Girona might well be the one for you. Alvaro Pacheco's side have lost 14 games this season in which both sides have scored. That's the most in La Liga.
