Tip: Getafe to win
Getafe are in a positive phase of their season and, after victories over Athletic Bilbao and Inter de Valemoro, are experiencing a noticeable rise in form. The 11-0 win in the Copa del Rey may have come against a weak opponent, but it boosted the team’s confidence and helped them stabilize in the upper mid-table. Borja Mayoral continues to play a key role as a reliable finisher, while Juanmi has added fresh energy from the flanks. Girona, on the other hand, are struggling badly, possessing the league’s weakest defense with 22 goals conceded, which underlines their lack of compactness. Even so, the Catalan side have shown some fight, drawing 3-3 with Oviedo and seeing veteran striker Cristhian Stuani come off the bench to score twice. The return of Alejandro Frances should strengthen the defense, but the continued absence of David Lopez and Donny van de Beek limits the control in midfield. Getafe look more structured and composed, with better transitions and a stronger defensive balance. Home advantage at Coliseum Alfonso Pérez is often decisive in tight matches like this one. Recommended tip: Getafe to win.
Tip: Double chance: Villarreal or draw
Villarreal are back in their stride after two dominant victories in league and cup action. The 2-0 win against Valencia and the subsequent 6-0 demolition of Ciudad de Lucena highlighted the strength of their attack led by Gerard Moreno. Coach Marcelino enjoys the benefit of a deep squad and can rotate without any significant drop in quality. Villarreal sit third in the table and are usually dominant at home, even if the Champions League schedule is taking a toll on their energy levels. Rayo Vallecano, however, are in one of their best moments of the season, with three consecutive league victories and a 6-1 Copa del Rey triumph fueling confidence. The attack, built around Álvaro García, plays with speed, fluidity and purpose, which could help the visitors trouble the hosts. Rayo’s pressing and transitions are among their strengths, something that could disrupt Villarreal’s buildup. Still, the Yellow Submarine tend to stay composed and effective, especially in the latter stages of games. This could be a tight, competitive encounter, but the home advantage tilts it slightly in Villarreal’s favor. Recommended tip: double chance Villarreal or draw.
Tip: Atletico Madrid to win
Atletico Madrid have rediscovered their balance between defensive stability and attacking efficiency under Diego Simeone. The 2-0 away win at Real Betis was a model of pragmatic football, and the team remain unbeaten in La Liga since the opening day. Julian Alvarez has adapted well as the central striker, and his link-up with Alex Baena has brought more fluidity in the final third. Sevilla, by contrast, continue to search for consistency; after losing to Real Sociedad, they bounced back in the Copa del Rey but still lack rhythm. Coach Matias Almeyda faces major absences – Agoume, Alexis Sanchez and Azpilicueta are all out – which weakens both their defensive stability and transition play. Isaac Romero leads the line with determination but often finds himself isolated up front. The statistics and history strongly favor the hosts: Sevilla have not beaten Atletico away in La Liga since 2008, and Atletico have won both recent meetings. With greater form, depth and physical intensity, Simeone’s men should maintain control throughout. Recommended tip: Atletico Madrid to win.
Tip: Double chance: Real Sociedad or draw
The Basque derby promises passion and intensity, even if both sides find themselves in contrasting moods this season. Real Sociedad are slowly improving after a poor start, with a victory over Sevilla and an easy Copa del Rey win restoring confidence. The team’s main attacking force remains Mikel Oyarzabal, who is their only player to score more than once this season, and coach Sergio Francisco will rely heavily on his creativity and leadership in attack. Defensively, though, the hosts are still fragile, especially with Yangel Herrera and Orri Oskarsson out, which weakens their midfield control. Athletic Bilbao, meanwhile, are organized and disciplined, but their main problem lies in the lack of goals, with just nine scored so far. The absence of Inaki Williams and Benat Prados reduces their offensive options, forcing Ernesto Valverde to rely on structure and quick transitions. This is likely to be a cautious and tactical battle with few chances. Real Sociedad will take comfort in playing at home, where they have recently looked more confident. Recommended tip: double chance Real Sociedad or draw.
Tip: Real Madrid to win
Real Madrid are in dominant form and, after their 2-1 win over Barcelona, have strengthened their lead at the top of La Liga. Under Xabi Alonso, the team is in perfect rhythm, having won nine of their ten league matches – a record reflecting remarkable consistency supported by stars such as Bellingham, Vinicius and Mbappé. Despite the absences of Carvajal and Rüdiger, the quality remains immense, with Valverde and Camavinga proving capable of covering multiple roles and maintaining high intensity. Valencia may have boosted morale with a comfortable cup win, but their league form remains poor and their defense vulnerable. Carlos Corberán’s side sit 18th in the table and struggle especially in transitions when playing away from home. Duro and Danjuma have both found the net this season, yet without sustained support from midfield they will find it difficult to threaten the champions. The Bernabéu is a fortress for Madrid, and after last season’s shock home defeat to Valencia, Los Blancos will be eager for revenge. Expect a composed and dominant performance from the first whistle to the last. Recommended tip: Real Madrid to win.
Tip: Double chance: Celta Vigo or draw
Levante, after returning to La Liga, have been playing an attractive but inconsistent style of football that entertains the fans yet also causes them to drop valuable points. Coach Julián Calero’s team have attacking quality – fourteen goals scored in ten rounds is a solid figure – but the defensive phase remains their main weakness. With eighteen goals conceded, Levante have the second-worst defence in the league, which has repeatedly cost them matches at crucial moments. The absence of Ivan Romero, one of their best scorers, weakens the attack, while young forward Karl Etta Eyong must cope with the pressure of being the team’s main threat. Celta Vigo, on the other hand, are finding their form – after three consecutive victories in all competitions, they look more confident and organised. Claudio Giráldez has managed to improve the team’s transition play and finishing efficiency, with Borja Iglesias becoming a key figure with six league goals. The visitors are not flawless away from home, but they appear more compact and tactically mature than Levante. It should be a balanced encounter, but Celta’s quality and experience could make the difference. Recommended tip: double chance – Celta Vigo or draw.
Tip: Double chance: Alavés or draw
Alavés once again show this season that their main strength lies in defensive organisation and patient football. Under Eduardo Coudet’s guidance, the team have conceded only nine goals in ten league matches, making them the best defensive side in La Liga so far. The solid spine formed by goalkeeper Sivera, centre-back Laguardia and versatile defender Rubén Duarte provides stability and confidence to the whole team. Offensively, they may not be prolific, but players like Carlos Vicente and Lucas Boyé are capable of deciding matches even from limited opportunities, especially at home. Espanyol possess a quality squad and sit in the upper half of the table, yet their performances away from Barcelona are less convincing. They rely heavily on Kike García and Pere Milla, while the absence of Javi Puado reduces their creativity on the flanks. Alavés are traditionally strong at Mendizorroza, where they have not lost for over two months, and they are difficult to break down in front of their fans. This should be a tight match, but the hosts have the defensive solidity to secure at least a point. Recommended tip: double chance – Alavés or draw.
Tip: Barcelona to win
Barcelona must respond immediately after a narrow defeat in El Clásico if they are to stay within reach of Real Madrid at the top of the table. Coach Hansi Flick still has a deep squad at his disposal, even though Gavi, Pedri, Raphinha and Ter Stegen remain sidelined. The return of Robert Lewandowski and Dani Olmo is therefore crucial in restoring attacking versatility and power. Despite recent setbacks, Barcelona remain the most productive team in La Liga with 25 goals scored, and their home record continues to be impressive. Elche, managed by Éder Sarabia, have started the season above expectations following promotion, but they have yet to win away from home. Their defence struggles to contain teams with quick transitions, which could prove decisive against Barcelona’s high-paced possession play. The statistics are clear – the Blaugrana have won their last ten meetings with Elche, often by multiple goals. If the home side maintain their attacking pressure and intensity, they should have little trouble securing another convincing victory. Recommended tip: Barcelona to win.
Tip: Double chance: Osasuna or draw
Real Oviedo are still trying to find their rhythm after promotion, and although their attitude is commendable, they lack quality in crucial moments. With only seven goals scored in ten matches, the team’s lack of attacking creativity is evident. Veterans Santi Cazorla and Salomón Rondón bring experience, but the squad’s overall age is high, and the lack of movement off the ball limits their attacking potential. Osasuna, despite a poor run of away results, have actually been playing better than the standings suggest. Their confidence was lifted by a 5–0 win over Sant Jordi in the Copa del Rey, and Ante Budimir has rediscovered his scoring form. Coach Alessio Lisci relies on a compact block, intense pressing in midfield and quick transitions down the wings. Oviedo will try to take advantage of their home environment, but against a more experienced and tactically organised opponent, they are likely to face constant pressure. A close and hard-fought match is expected, with Osasuna having a slight edge and the greater chance of avoiding defeat. Recommended tip: double chance – Osasuna or draw.
