Real Valladolid CF vs. Levante UD predictions

Real Valladolid are slightly favoured to pick up a third straight victory at the expense of Levante in what is arguably an early relegation six-pointer. After failing to win any of their opening eight matches, the hosts enjoyed victories over Athletic Bilbao and Granada to move out of the bottom three. However, they still rank second-last for expected points.

Levante will be aiming to curtail a seven-match winless run that has most recently featured four successive 1-1 draws. They have earned a narrow majority of their points away from home this season, although they are still searching for their first clean sheet. At least one team failed to score in four of the last five meetings between these two sides.

Bet: Real Valladolid CF vs. Levante UD odds

Elche CF vs. Cadiz predictions

Cadiz are predicted to recover from back-to-back defeats with an away win at Elche. The visitors’ form has dipped somewhat following their strong start and they now have netted the fewest goals among the current top half (eight). However, only Real Sociedad can boast a better away record, with all but two of Cadiz’s 14 points in total having been earned on their travels.

Similarly, Elche’s prowess has petered after a return of two points from their last three matches and worryingly, they are overperforming against their expected points by the largest margin in the division, actually ranking bottom of La Liga for the metric. The away team did not win this fixture in these two sides’ last four meetings.

Bet: Elche CF vs. Cadiz odds

Valencia vs. Atletico Madrid predictions

Atletico Madrid are expected to record a sixth successive win from their visit to Valencia. Diego Simeone’s team are the only side remaining in La Liga yet to suffer a league defeat, and they conceded just two goals in their opening eight fixtures. Indeed, Atletico kept a clean sheet in eight of their last 10 league victories.

Valencia have struggled for consistency throughout the campaign thus far and their last five games amassed as many points. Their matches have featured considerable action at both ends of the pitch and witnessed a joint league-high 33 goals. They have failed to defeat Atletico in their last 11 attempts.

Huesca vs. Sevilla predictions

Sevilla are predicted to extend Huesca’s ongoing wait for their first win of the season. The visitors have somewhat recovered their form with back-to-back wins following three straight defeats, although they are yet to a keep clean sheet on their travels this season. Of Sevilla’s last 10 league victories, six were by a margin of at least two goals.

Huesca’s 10 failed attempts to win a league fixture have amassed seven draws and three defeats, among which they have scored more than one goal in a match just once. However, they are underperforming against their expected points by the third largest margin in the division and are yet to lose against Sevilla at El Alcoraz.

Bet: Huesca vs. Sevilla odds

Real Madrid vs. Alaves predictions

Real Madrid are not expected to encounter any considerable difficulty in their attempts to overcome Alaves. Zinedine Zidane’s side won just two of their last five league games, although they collected 27 points of a possible 30 from their last 10 home matches in La Liga. Real also won their last eight home games against Alaves, keeping a clean sheet in each of the last five.

Alaves’ current four-match unbeaten run is the longest they have enjoyed so far in 2020/21, although they do enter this match on the back of three straight draws. The visitors have not won any match this season in which they conceded the first goal.

Bet: Real Madrid vs. Alaves odds

Barcelona vs. Osasuna predictions

The market gives Barcelona just under a 75% chance of earning a much-needed home win over Osasuna. The hosts’ 1-0 defeat to Atletico Madrid meant they have collected just five points from their last six matches, despite netting the fourth-most goals in the league (15). Barcelona won just three of their last eight home league fixtures at the Nou Camp.

Osasuna collected a lone point from their last three games, largely because their struggling attack has scored just eight goals, the joint second-fewest in the league. Osasuna have kept just one clean sheet in their last 10 meetings with Barcelona, conceding 36 goals during this run.

Bet: Barcelona vs. Osasuna odds

Getafe vs. Athletic Club Bilbao predictions

Getafe are narrowly favoured to curtail a four-match winless streak with a home victory over Athletic Bilbao. The hosts have gradually slipped down the table since winning three of their opening five games, although only Real Sociedad and Atletico Madrid have kept more clean sheets (six) than their typically stern defence’s five.

Bilbao have racked up four wins and five losses from their opening nine matches, although they presently sport the worst away record in the league with a return of three points from five games. Of the last six meetings between these two teams, four finished as draws and both teams scored in five.

Bet: Getafe vs. Athletic Club Bilbao odds

Celta Vigo vs. Granada CF predictions

Last-placed Celta Vigo are expected to enjoy what would be only their second victory of the season at home to Granada. The hosts are winless in eight matches and have conceded a league-high 19 goals, although they are also underperforming against both their expected goals and points by the largest margin in the division.

Conversely, Granada are overperforming against their expected points by the second largest margin, despite taking a lone point from their last three games. Granada’s last 10 league wins featured seven settled by a solitary goal, although they have only beaten Vigo once in the league since February 2013.

Bet: Celta Vigo vs. Granada CF odds

Real Sociedad vs. Villarreal CF predictions

League leaders Real Sociedad are predicted to edge Villarreal in a clash between two of the current top four. A run of six straight wins has left the hosts three points clear at the top of La Liga, and of their seven league victories this season, five included a clean sheet and six were by a margin of at least two goals. Sociedad have also scored a league-high 21 goals.

Villarreal are unbeaten in seven league matches, although they can only boast a solitary away win this season. Despite this, they rank second in the league for expected points and third for expected goals, and won three of their last five league meetings against Sociedad. Both teams scored in eight of the last 10 league matches between these sides.

Bet: Real Sociedad vs. Villarreal CF odds

Real Betis vs. Eibar predictions

Real Betis are expected to record what would be only their second win in six games at home to Eibar on Monday. Betis are another team who are struggling for consistency, having amassed four wins and six defeats from their opening 10 games. Indeed, while they currently reside in mid-table they actually sport the league’s worst defence, having conceded a league-high 21 goals.

Meanwhile, Eibar possess the most toothless attack, having scored a league-low six goals. Despite this, they have collected seven points from their opening four away games and lost only three of their last 10. However, the away team has not won a fixture between these sides since January 2016.

Bet: Real Betis vs. Eibar odds
