Spain La Liga Predictions

15/05/2025

Espanyol - Barcelona

Upsets do happen in football and it’s fair to say a home win here would be a definition of the case. Espanyol can count themselves lucky if they avoid getting completely destroyed by Barcelona in this match.

Barcelona seem to be on their way to another easy victory and 3 more points to the tally. Priced at read more

Getafe - Athletic Bilbao

The hosts will have little to hope for in this match. The betting odds work against them and so does the overall impression. They are a weaker side here and it would be a proper upset if they manage to beat Athletic Bilbao.

Athletic Bilbao will need to dig deep in order to get past the motivated hosts. An away win at read more

Osasuna - Atlético Madrid

A home win would be a big surprise in this match. Osasuna are the underdogs here and it will be a huge surprise if they end up grabbing a win here.

With 2.14 odds for an away win, Atlético Madrid have a rather clear path to victory. Still, there’s plenty of room for an upset in a match like this, so other options are still worth considering.

Rayo Vallecano - Real Betis

The visitors are well aware of the challenge ahead of them. To defeat Rayo Vallecano on their home field would be a significant achievement, and it is never an easy undertaking.

Real Betis have their work cut out for them this Thursday. Most bookmakers online see them as the stronger team, made evident by the 2.46 betting odds for an away win. That’s a fairly slim advant... read more

Real Madrid - Mallorca

This is a fairly one-sided matchup in the hosts’ favour. While there may be a tiny chance of a draw or even an upset, we wouldn’t count on it. Real Madrid winning is by far the most likely outcome.

From the present standpoint, the situation is clear as day. Considering the strength of Real and the read more

Deportivo Alavés - Valencia

With bookies pricing a home win at 2.15, it’s clear the match may yet go either way. The hosts have a distinct advantage, of course, but both a draw and an away win are quite possible outcomes.

Valencia appear severely unprepared for a clash with Deportivo Alavés, to the point of being considered hard underdogs. We would consider even a draw a success, so the long read more

Villarreal - Leganés

Leganés will have little to hope for against Villarreal. The home charges are bursting with confidence and it would take a small miracle for the away team to take anything from this game.

This one has Home Win written all over it. The hosts are expected to grab a firm hold of the proceedings and Leganés will be left with slim pickings in this match.

While the previous round ended in success for read more

Real Valladolid - Girona

Real Valladolid are no strangers to surprises but with 4.98 on home win here, such a result would be more of a miracle rather than surprise.

The visiting side should be able to achieve victory in this clash against Real Valladolid. Girona are favourites to claim ... read more

Sevilla - Las Palmas

The online bookies marked Sevilla as the favourites, which makes a lot of sense. Still, we wouldn’t put Las Palmas winning beyond them – not to mention that draws are a strong possibility in relatively balanced games.

Las Palmas will have little to hope for in this match. 4.75 betting odds on them winning paint a pretty clear picture and from this standpoint there is l... read more

Real Sociedad - Celta de Vigo

Though the home team can be called favourites, they can’t quite relax going into the match at Celta de Vigo. Their advantage is quite narrow, and just a few mistakes could end up costing them the game.

The visiting team knows that beating Real Sociedad on their own turf will be a major accomplishment, and it is always a formidable challenge.

Although La Real’s previous La... read more

Sevilla - Mallorca

Sevilla are expected to win here, but we can’t call such betting predictions completely foolproof. Mallorca may surprise us yet, and even a tie game seems a decent possibility from where we’re standing.

An away win in this match would be a huge surprise and an equally big achievement for Mallorca who could consider themselves fortunate if they run away with a point in the bag.

La Liga History and General Information

To call La Liga a powerhouse in the world of football would be an understatement. Based on their system of coefficients, UEFA has ranked La Liga as the world’s number one league seven years in a row. In the grander scheme of things, Spain’s league has been top of those rankings 22 times out of the total 60 – far more than the other “Big 5” leagues of European football.

Moreover, the clubs that play in La Liga have seen more success than any other league’s clubs. Its clubs have been named the continent’s top clubs 22 times in total, won the Champions League 18 times, the Europa League 11 times, and so on. In truth, the list of La Liga’s achievements would be too long to go through in one simple text.

So, how did all this come to be? The story of La Liga being in 1928. Football was already in Spain before that on a professional level, but it lacked a unified national league and relied on elimination tournaments and similar competitions. 10 clubs initially founded the Primera División, 3 of which have never been relegated from it - Real Madrid, Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao.

On a side note, La Liga’s full name is actually Campeonato Nacional de Liga de Primera División. What we usually call La Liga is just the first division of the Spanish national league and its highest.

Over the following 50 years, the clubs that we today immediately associate with La Liga emerged into prominence. At first, those were Athletic Bilbao, Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, and Valencia. Real Madrid would come to dominate the league in the 50s, firmly establishing themselves as one of the world’s greatest football clubs. A few decades down the line, Barcelona’s acclaimed Dream Team would change the game forever.

Under legendary coach Johan Cruyff, Barcelona would go on to win 11 titles in 8 years. His approach to high-pressure, high-possession football tactics can be seen to this day. As most experts will tell you, professional football nowadays is all about Cruyff’s ‘Total Football’. This is just one example of how La Liga changed how football is played across the globe.

Following the turn of the century, these two clubs were essentially synonymous with both La Liga and world-class football. You’ll typically find them in one of the top 3 spots of pretty much any season since 2000, with one of them as the winner. Notably, Atletico Madrid also emerged as a dominant force after 2010, and you’ll usually find them in one of the leading positions as well.

Format

As per the typical UEFA template, La Liga takes the form of a double round-robin. It consists of 20 of Spains top football teams which play against one another twice – once home and once away. A typical season lasts from August to May the following year, during which each team plays a total of 38 matches.

As usual, teams receive 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, and 0 points for a loss. They are thank ranked based on the total number of points won. The team with the most points is crowned champion, while the bottom 3 teams are relegated to the Segunda Division – the second tier of Spanish football. The two top-ranked teams from the Segunda Division are promoted to La Liga, while the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth team play a series of playoffs for the third open spot.

In the case of a tie in points, teams are ranked based o their head-to-head statistics – which is an interesting divergence from the typical league format.

Being the highest ranked league in Europe, the top 4 teams from La Liga qualify for the subsequent Champions League group stage. The 5th team goes to the Europa League, along with the Copa del Rey winners.


La Liga Derby Matches

El Clásico

The Classic is not just a blueprint for the meaning of football derby – it’s what all other derbies wish they were. The clash between La Liga’s top clubs Barcelona and Real Madrid is one of the most viewed sporting events every year. To make things even more interesting, the rivalry’s background is a centuries-old political and social opposition between Madrid and Barcelona – Spain and Catalonia. A staple of world sports, it doesn’t get much more exciting than El Clásico.

Atlético-Barçelona

Sometimes referred to as El OtroClásico, or the ‘other classic’, this showdown can be just as exciting as its namesake. Although this derby is forever doomed to play second fiddle to its bigger brother, the underlying rivalry hits all the same notes and produces some exhilarating games.

The Madrid Derby

This just leaves the clash between the remaining two Top 3 clubs – Real and Atlético. Despite Atleti’s rise to prominence, the showdown remains quite lopsided. Nevertheless, it’s a fairly heated local rivalry between the Spanish capital’s best teams. It is also overshadowed by the Classic, which doesn’t mean it’s not one of the world’s premier city derbies.

La Liga Best Stadiums

Camp Nou

Being the world’s fourth-largest sports stadium, Barcelona’s home field is quite a sight to behold. Its capacity is a whopping 99,354, with an even more impressive record attendance of 120,000. It’s the biggest stadium in the country and is world-famous for hosting multiple Europa League and Champions League finals.

Santiago Bernabéu Stadium

As you may have guessed, the title of the second-biggest stadium is Real Madrid’s home turf. It can house just over 80,000 spectators, marking it as one of the top spots in Europe. It’s also a popular tourist attraction because of its long and storied history which includes four Champions League finals. It was the first stadium in Europe to host both a UEFA Euro final and a FIFA World Cup final.
