La Liga Predictions

Celta Vigo and Alaves have been inconsistent lately, with two wins in their last five respective outings. Six of their last eight competitive meetings finished with over 1.5 goals, and the opening fixture of La Liga Matchday 23 should end with the same result.

Vallecano and Oviedo will need to come out in this thrilling six-pointer as both sides will look to escape the pull of the relegation zone. Neither team has been strong in front of goal, but their defences have been leaky, and they both should concede in this fixture.

Barcelona should remain at the top of the La Liga standings when they face off against relegation candidates Mallorca. Barcelona have been dominant against their visitors, winning 9 and drawing once in their last ten meetings, and Hansi Flick should ensure his team leaves with all three points.

A six-pointer is on the cards for relegation candidates Sevilla and Girona. This should be a tense encounter, and with both teams averaging over a goal per game and conceding over 1.5 goals per game, this meeting is likely to see more than 1.5 goals.

Sociedad and Elche have been in good form in front of goal recently, and have seen their last five respective outings producing over 1.5 goals. Seven of their last ten La Liga meetings have featured over 1.5 goals, and this match should be no different.

Getafe find themselves rooted to the bottom of the La Liga standings for teams that have produced matches with more than 2.5 goals. Both teams have scored only 36 goals between them in their 22 league matches, averaging just 2 goals per game.

Despite being in poor form, both sides have been good in front of goal, and are averaging around a goal per game this season. Nine of their last ten meetings have featured over 1.5 goals, and this encounter should be no different.

Atletico have been strong at home in the league and are on a ten-game winning streak at home, while Betis are winless in their last four games. The striking quality of Antoinne Griezmann and Julian Alvarez will ensure a repeat of this season’s previous encounter.

Madrid are yet to lose a La Liga match with Arbeloa at the helm. Valencia are in poor form, and the likes of Mbappe and Vinicius will be looking to ensure Madrid claims all three points against relegation-threatened Valencia.

Villarreal and Espanyol should be looking to use this encounter to improve their current dismal form and league standings. Both teams are in good goal-scoring form and should score over 1.5 goals in the final fixture of La Liga Matchday 23.
