La Liga Predictions

Two teams are in poor form, having lost three of their last five league matches, as La Liga kicks off Matchday 19. Getafe has seen seven of their eight home league matches end with under 2.5 goals, while Sociedad has seen six of their nine away league outings end with under 2.5 goals.

Oviedo’s return to the top division of Spanish football could not have gone worse, rooted to the bottom of the La Liga log and winless in their last ten matches. Betis are in contention for a European spot and should easily leave with all three points.

The break has been good for Villarreal as they put an end to their three-game losing streak with a win in Matchday 18. Villarreal are strong at home (7 wins from 9 matches) and host an Alaves side who are just three points above the drop.

After dreadful starts, Girona and Osasuna have picked up some form, winning two of their last three outings, and will be looking to add to their points tally. Both sides have seen their last seven meetings end with over 1.5 goals, and this match is likely to follow the same trend.

Valencia and Elche have been in good form in front of goal recently, having scored a goal in six of their last seven respective outings. Four of their five meetings at the Mestalla have featured both sides on the scoresheet, and this match should be no different.

A six-pointer is on the cards for relegation candidates Rayo Vallecano and Mallorca when they clash in La Liga Matchday 19 action. This should be a tight encounter, and with both teams scoring on average a goal per game, this meeting is likely to see fewer than 2.5 goals.

Levante are yet to register a win at home this season (2 draws, 5 losses). Espanyol will be looking to return to winning ways after a crushing defeat to bitter rivals Barcelona, and Pere Milla will be looking to add to his six-goal tally to get his team across the line.

Both teams have leaky defences this season, and are conceding almost 1.5 goals per game. Six of their last seven meetings have seen over 1.5 goals, and this game should end with the same outcome.
