Spain La Liga Predictions

28/09/2023

Celta de Vigo - Deportivo Alavés

The odds are definitely leaning in the hosts’ favour, but this match is far from a done deal. Judging by odds alone, Deportivo Alavés may yet be able to walk away with a draw or even a surprise victory – though it’s still a longshot.

It’s hard to believe even the most optimistic Alaves fans are expecting them to triumph at Celta de Vigo this Thursday. It’s a completely one-sided matchup, and the hosts should have no problems steamrolling their opponents.

Osasuna - Atlético Madrid

Though the match can honestly go either way, Osasuna will be at a bit of a disadvantage. Their victory is priced at 3.45 despite the home-field advantage, so they’ll need to bring their A-game.

Atlético Madrid have their work cut out for them this Thursday. Most bookmakers online see them as the stronger team, made evident by the 2.25 betting odds for an away win. That’s a fairly slim advantage, though.

In the previous round, most La Liga betting predictions went with the... read more

Granada - Real Betis

The visiting team knows the task they face will not be easy. Beating Granada on their own turf would be a major accomplishment, and it is always a formidable challenge.

2.45 on an away match is what many punters run away from but Real Betis are a team capable of big things. Therefore, backing them in this match might not be a bad idea after all.

While Granada can’t exactly be happy with their 1:0 loss in the previous round, a narrow defeat after an undecided first half isn’t... read more

Real Madrid - Las Palmas

Real Madrid should stroll into a fairly easy victory this Wednesday. The odds are decidedly in their favour, with most top bookies pricing a home win at 1.27.

Las Palmas are massive underdogs and will be extremely lucky to avoid complete annihilation at the hands of Real Madrid.

Real will be looking to regain their supporters’ trust as they prepare to meet Las Palmas this Wednesday. The last match (HOME_LAST_ROUND_AWAY) came quite expectedly, to be fair, knowing that Real Mad... read more

Athletic Bilbao - Getafe

Punters who are looking for a safe bet should definitely consider this match. The home win odds of 1.62 bring great value considering the fact that Athletic Bilbao are indeed firm favourites to defeat Getafe.

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

Athletic’s latest performance against Deportivo Alavés ended in resounding success. While the predictions we... read more

Cádiz - Rayo Vallecano

With a difficult matchup ahead of them, Cádiz will need to focus if they want to bring in another 3 points. They are not overwhelmingly outmatched by any means, but they are generally seen as the underdogs compared to Rayo Vallecano.

The visiting team is fully aware of the challenge that lies ahead. A win against Cádiz on their home field would be a significant achievement, and it is never an easy task.

In a surprising turn of events, Cádiz took the lead in the early stages ... read more

Villarreal - Girona

While the scales seem somewhat tipped in the hosts’ favour, the win is anyone’s to take. Statistically speaking, all 3 outcomes to this match are quite possible, making reliable betting predictions hard to come by.

Girona are not a team that backs down from a challenge and we expect them to give their best in an effort to claim a victory in this match.

Anyone brave enough to put some money on Villarreal drawing their previous La Liga game will be reading this with a big smi... read more

Real Sociedad are not a team that backs down from a challenge and we expect them to give their best in an effort to claim a victory in this match.

Sevilla - Almería

Sevilla are firm favourites in this matchup, and backing them may offer surprising betting value. It’s a very safe bet, though we suppose an upset is not outside the realm of possibility. We wouldn’t count on Almería winning, though.

The situation is crystal clear from the current perspective. Given the strength of the home team and the fact Almería are given 7.00 betting odds to win, a conclusion is not difficult to reach. Anything but a home win would be an incredible surprise... read more

Mallorca - Barcelona

A mere glance at the betting odds for this match should tell you most you need to know. A home win here is almost an impossible outcome, so it’s not very likely we’ll see solid betting opportunities in the 1X2 market.

The odds are clearly leaning in the away team’s favour, though the difference is by no means insurmountable. Mallorca will have to give their all to come out on top, though, while Barcelona merely have to make sure not to make major mistakes.

The visitors understand the difficulty of the task at hand. To beat Atlético Madrid on their own turf would be a major feat, and it is always a tough challenge.

Things are looking problematic for the visiting side. They are going up against a stronger team which also has a home pitch advantage. Victory is still within reach – they’ll just have to work harder than usual to get it.

Real Betis - Cádiz

Betting odds can be illusive at times and Cádiz are more than capable of pulling an upset. However, Real Betis should have a clear path to victory if they stick to the plan.

The odds are stacked heavily against Cádiz here, and we can’t see them winning this match. Real Betis are heavily favoured by most betting predictions – so much so that an away bet is priced at around 4.90.

The host are coming off from a morale-boosting Barcelona draw. Why morale-boosting? Because Los... read more

Rayo Vallecano - Villarreal

The visitors understand the difficulty of the task at hand. To beat Rayo Vallecano on their own turf would be a major feat, and it is always a tough challenge.

Villarreal are coming into this match as underdogs, though the difference is not overwhelming. Even so, they’re not all that likely to win. An Away Win bet is priced at 2.75 with top online bookies, which could bring a decent profit.

Rayo Vallecano’s home supporters were treated to an outstanding performance in the t... read more

Real Sociedad - Getafe

The home team is the obvious choice for anyone looking to bet on favourites. The match is not completely one-sided, though, which is why you may actually get worthwhile returns.

Considering what they’re up against, Getafe can’t set their ambitions too high in this match. Playing as visitors at odds of 7.50 for an away win, calling them underdogs seems like an understatement.

Real Sociedad are here after an exciting clash against Real Madrid in the previous round. The balan... read more

Las Palmas - Granada

Betting odds can be illusive at times and Granada are more than capable of pulling an upset. However, Las Palmas should have a clear path to victory if they stick to the plan.

The visitors would need to pull off quite a stunt in order to come out victorious. They are severely outmatched in this outing – the 3.90 away win odds alone should speak volumes.

Las Palmas supporters did not exactly have high hopes heading into the La Liga last round’s match. Their team was made a h... read more

Barcelona - Real Betis

Most fans are expecting nothing short of a decisive victory for Barcelona. Though an upset is not impossible, it’s extremely unlikely that this match will end in anything that’s not a home win.

The current perspective makes the situation clear. Given the superiority of Blaugrana and the fact that Real Betis are given 8.00 odds to win, it is easy to conclude that anything but a home win would be an unexpected shock.

Celta de Vigo - Mallorca

Though Celta de Vigo are more likely to win this, an away win would only be slightly surprising. It’s a relatively balanced matchup, which usually means we’ll see some exciting football.

The visitors would need to pull off quite a stunt in order to come out victorious. They are severely outmatched in this outing – the 4.35 away win odds alone should speak volumes.

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.
