Elche v Levante
Tip: Over 2.5 goals
Both sides have surprised fans and punters alike with their performances so far this season. Elche got a result from Atlético de Madrid’s home ground in week 2 for the first time since 1960, while Levante have managed to score three goals in their first two games, including 2 against the defending champions, Barcelona, who they narrowly lost to in week 2. Going by these performances, it is safe to say that an Over/Under bet will be the safest bet for this game for maximum wins.
Valencia v Getafe
Tip: 12 (Either team to win)
Pepe Bordalas’ team has shown a lot of bite in the last two game weeks, but now, they will be losing Christantus Uche to Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League because of the stringent FFP regulations in the league. This will depower them greatly as they come up against Valencia, who are hungry and look much better than they did at this stage of the competition last season. A Double Chance selection for either team to win is the safest bet for maximum value.
Alavés v Atlético de Madrid
Tip: Over 2.5 goals
Diego Simeone is due a win, but unfortunately, he is going away to Deportivo Alavés, which has proven to be a tricky ground for him, no matter the era. The Basque side are also doing much better than Atlético at the moment, and we believe that they will want to ride on that momentum in their first big game of the season. We expect goals from both sides, making an Over/Under bet the safest option, especially given Los Rojoblancos’ start to the season.
Real Oviedo v Real Sociedad
Tip: (Real Sociedad win)
Real Sociedad have had two draws from their opening matches, and Real Oviedo have found life difficult in their return to top-flight football. The minnows stand a better chance than they did in their first two games, however, against the inconsistent Sociedad, whose attack has been their biggest undoing so far. However, the Basque side are more suited to top-flight football, giving them an edge in the game. It is unlikely they lose, but their stuttered start makes a Double Chance bet in their favour (X2) the best option.
Girona v Sevilla
Tip: 12 (Either team to win)
The two most disappointing sides in the league from last season and now are facing off against each other in week 3. After two losses that showed that both sides will suffer this season, it is safest to predict that one of them will come out victorious from this clash. The reason for this choice is that neither team look strong enough to defend a lead or hold another team to a draw. It is win or lose with them.
Real Madrid v Mallorca
Tip: (Real Madrid win and over 1.5 Goals)
This match is Real Madrid’s to lose. We are choosing the straight win and the goal market combo option.This will not be an easy match for Madrid to navigate but we believe they should come out on top with at least two goals scored in the match as well.
Celta Vigo v Villarreal
Tip: X2 (Villarreal win or draw)
Villarreal are the most in-form side in the league at the moment. Marcellino has really shaped the team into genuine contenders. Their matches against the big three of the league will be a spectacle. However, they will have to navigate the trickery of a Celta Vigo side, who know how to sneak wins. We still believe this is Villarreal’s to lose, but the away factor will play a huge role in the game, making a Double Chance bet in their favour the best selection choice.
Real Betis v Athletic Club
Tip: Under 3.5 goals
This match will be a masterclass in defending for the rest of the league. This fixture has always been close. Last season, neither side was able to beat the other. Either side has won by more than one goal just once in their last ten fixtures. There will be goals this time around, and it will be close. However, history has shown that a winner is difficult to predict from this fixture, making an Over/Under bet the best choice.
Espanyol v Osasuna
Tip: Over 1.5 goals
This will be another close game to witness. And even though history favours Osasuna in this tie, the difference in starts will surely count for something. The Catalan club look much better than they did last season, scoring as much as they are conceding, and making daring forays into the opponent’s penalty areas. Osasuna looks to still be finding their footing, but they have Ante Budimir, one of the league’s best strikers, who can make something happen. An Over/Under selection is the best for this game.

Rayo Vallecano v Barcelona
Tip: (Barcelona win and over 1.5 goals)
This is Barcelona’s game to lose even though Rayo Vallecano has proven to be a thorn in the side of the defending champions in recent seasons. Some might even claim they have given Barcelona the most trouble in the league, even more than Real Madrid, their eternal rivals. It will be hard to see Hansi Flick’s team losing, however, given the firepower they have in attack.
