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

Bet against it at best odds of 9.50.
Real Betis v Malaga - Double Chance - home win or draw
Being a football fan can be draining, and Malaga’s hardy follows know that better than most right now. Their club, led by J. Funes Arjona, has not won any of their last 10 La Liga matches, and few will be expecting them to end that run against Real Betis at Estadio Olímpico de Sevilla on Saturday evening.

Getafe v Sevilla - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Low scoring fixtures aren't always tedious affairs, but fans of Getafe have had too many chances to test that theory this campaign. 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. García Plaza and his Sevilla team be able to inject goalmouth action into this fixture on Sunday? Or will it be same old same old?
Elche v Valencia - 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 play Valencia CF on Sunday. M. Anselmi's side already lead the rest of La Liga in that area, and won't want to make it any worse. Opposing boss J. Aguirre Onaindía may not feel the same way, however.
A.Bilbao v R.Sociedad - Half Time / Full Time - draw+draw
It may 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 in which they have been level at both halftime and fulltime this term, with their tally now at 3 in 9 games. They will put that unwanted consistency to the test against Real Sociedad at San Mamés on Sunday, in a game that could see yet another tie.
Deportivo v Osasuna - Both Teams To Score - yes
Supporters at ABANCA-Riazor will be fully expecting plenty goalmouth action on Monday, and they're right to, if Deportivo de La Coruna's recent record is to be continued. There have been a goal in both nets in 8 of their 10 La Liga fixtures this season, the largest number in the competition.
Sevilla v Alaves - Both Teams To Score - yes

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 sides have played on 6 occasions since 2022, and Racing de Santander have remained unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at La Rosaleda could be a tricky one for J. Funes Arjona & co.
Espanyol v Deportivo - Double Chance - home win or draw

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 sides have clashed on 6 occasions since 2023, and Athletic Bilbao have gone unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at El Sadar could be a really difficult one for J. Arrasate & co.
Elche v Real Betis - Half Time / Full Time - away+away
Elche CF will be looking to avoid adding to the 4 times they have already been losing at both the break and the final whistle this campaign when they face Real Betis on Sunday. M. Anselmi's players already lead the rest of La Liga in that category, and won't want to make the situation any worse. Opposing boss M. Pellegrini may not feel the same way, however.
Celta v Levante - Over / Under 0.5 Goals - under
Fans travelling to Balaídos this Sunday to watch Celta de Vigo and Levante might already be fearing a boring evening, and rightly so. C. Giráldez González's charges have played their part in 3 matches with under 0.5 goals this campaign, more than any team in La Liga. Will either side find the net? Bet against it at best odds of 11.00.
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 the one for you. H. Flick's team lead La Liga in most matches with over 2.5 goals so far this season. 8 of their La Liga games have already gone that way. With a record like that, surely only a defensive masterclass from D. Simeone's men could prevent more of the same.
