La Liga Matchday 21 betting tips, top odds & predictions
La Liga 2024-25 continues this week with a full slate of 10 games lined up for Matchday 21, including a big matchup between Atletico Madrid and Villarreal. Here are our free soccer betting picks for the Spanish Primera Division.
Las Palmas v Osasuna
Saturday, January 25 – 7am AEDT – Estadio Gran Canaria
Las Palmas, in 14th, have suffered two consecutive defeats, while 10th-placed Osasuna are on a disappointing seven-game winless run. These two sides seem evenly matched and could play out a draw for the third time in four outings.
Draw
Real Mallorca v Real Betis
Sunday, January 26 – 12am AEDT – Estadi Mallorca Son Moix
Hammered 4-0 by Villarreal last time out, sixth-placed Mallorca will be set on making a quick recovery against Betis, sitting 12th having only managed one win in nine games. Victorious in the reverse fixture, the Bermellones have a great chance of triumphing on home soil.
Real Mallorca to win
Atletico Madrid v Villarreal
Sunday, January 26 – 2:15am AEDT – Metropolitano Stadium
After slipping to second following their 1-0 defeat to Leganes, Atletico Madrid will be eager to keep their title hopes alive against Villarreal, who are three places below them. Antoine Griezmann has seven league goals thus far, and the Atleti forward remains a solid pick with leading betting sites to add to his tally.
Antoine Griezmann anytime goalscorer
Sevilla v Espanyol
Sunday, January 26 – 4:30am AEDT – Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium
Sevilla, in 11th, will be looking to ascend higher up the table against struggling Espanyol, who are third from bottom. The hosts, who have dominated this fixture, are firm favourites to secure a fourth consecutive win over the Catalonians.
Sevilla to win
Real Valladolid v Real Madrid
Sunday, January 26 – 7am AEDT – Estadio Jose Zorrilla
Top of La Liga table following last Sunday’s 4-1 win over Palmas, champions Real Madrid will be looking to strengthen their title defence with a win over bottom-placed Valladolid. Rodrygo scored twice during Madrid’s midweek win in the Champions League, and the Brazilian forward is a great pick to strike again with top La Liga betting sites.
Rodrygo anytime goalscorer
Rayo Vallecano v Girona
Monday, January 27 – 12am AEDT – Estadio de Vallecas
Girona are eighth on the table with 28 points, while Vallecano are ninth with two fewer points. The points have been shared in three of their last five meetings, and could do so again.
Draw
Real Sociedad v Getafe
Monday, January 27 – 2:15am AEDT – Reale Arena
Real Sociedad, sitting seventh, will continue their push for European football against Getafe, who are in the bottom half of the table. Unbeaten in their last four meetings at the Reale Arena, Sociedad should do just enough to secure a third straight home win in this fixture.
Real Sociedad to win
Athletic Bilbao v Leganes
Monday, January 27 – 4:30am AEDT – Estadio de San Mames
Fourth-placed Athletic Bilbao will be seeking to stretch their 11-game unbeaten run against Leganes, who climbed to 15th following their surprise win over Atleti.
Bilbao have form and consistency on their side, and are poised to do the season double on the Pepineros.
Athletic Bilbao to win both halves
Barcelona v Valencia
Monday, January 27 – 7am AEDT – Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys
Third-placed Barcelona will be looking to end a four-game winless run in La Liga when they host Valencia, who are second from bottom following their 1-0 win over Sociedad. Barca’s Raphinha is in fine form with five goals in his last four games across the board, and online bookmakers are paying +110 for the Brazilian to extend his streak.
Raphinha anytime goalscorer
Deportivo Alaves v Celta Vigo
Tuesday, January 28 – 7am AEDT – Mendizorrotza Stadium
Celta Vigo slipped to 13th following successive defeats to Vallecano and Bilbao, while Alaves are 17th after one win in eight games. With each side desperate for points, both goalkeepers could be set for a busy night.
Both teams to score
