La Liga Matchday 24 betting tips & free predictions

La Liga 2024-25 campaign continues this weekend with a full slate of 10 games lined up. Here are our free soccer betting picks for Matchday 24 of the Spanish Primera Division.

Girona v Getafe

Saturday, February 15 – 7am AEDT – Estadi Montilivi

Girona, in eighth, will look to advance their chances of securing European football when they take on Getafe, who are six places below them. Unbeaten in their last five meetings at the Montilivi, with four wins and one draw, back Girona to extend their home domination.

Leganes v Deportivo Alaves

Sunday, February 16 – 12am AEDT – Estadio Municipal de Butarque

Alaves are second from bottom with 21 points, while Leganes are a position above the drop zone with 23 points. Given that Alaves have a superior head-to-head record with two wins and a draw from their last three meetings, back the visitors to grind out a win.

Osasuna v Real Madrid

Sunday, February 16 – 2:15am AEDT – El Sadar Stadium

Held to a 1-1 draw by Atletico last Saturday, league leaders Real Madrid will be looking to return to winning ways against ninth-placed Osasuna. Kylian Mbappe scored during Madrid’s midweek Champions League win over Manchester City, and online bookmakers are paying $1.90 for the in-form Frenchman to hit the mark again.

Atletico Madrid v Celta Vigo

Sunday, February 16 – 4:30am AEDT – Metropolitano Stadium

Second-placed Atletico are two points shy of sitting atop the Liga standings, while Celta Vigo, in 12th, are 21 points behind their opponents. Diego Simeone’s men have dominated this fixture and should prevail for the eighth consecutive time.

Villarreal v Valencia

Sunday, February 16 – 7am AEDT – Estadio de la Ceramica

Villarreal, sitting fifth, will back themselves against Valencia, who remain in the danger zone despite securing three wins from their last four outings. Although Los Che are steadily finding their rhythm in front of goal, their defensive struggles could cost them a sixth consecutive away defeat in this fixture.

Espanyol v Athletic Bilbao

Monday, February 17 – 12am AEDT – Stage Front Stadium

Runaway winners against Girona in their last outing, fourth-placed Bilbao will look to dispatch Espanyol, who are in the bottom half of the table. Unbeaten in La Liga since Matchday 9, back the consistent Bilbao to secure their fourth successive win in the encounter.

Real Valladolid v Sevilla

Monday, February 17 – 2:15am AEDT – Estadio Jose Zorrilla

Sevilla are 13th on the table with 28 points, while Valladolid are bottom of the league with 15 points. Expect the more experienced Nervionenses to hand the newly promoted side their fifth straight league defeat.

Real Mallorca v Las Palmas

Monday, February 17 – 4:30am AEDT – Estadi Mallorca Son Moix

Real Mallorca are 10th on the ladder with 31 points, while Las Palmas are five places below them with eight fewer points. Victorious in their last two meetings, the hosts could prove too strong for a Palmas side that is winless in their last five games.

Real Betis v Real Sociedad

Monday, February 17 – 7am AEDT – Estadio Benito Villamarin

Real Sociedad moved to seventh after ending their three-game losing streak against Espanyol, while Betis are 11th after securing one win from their last six games. Unbeaten in their last three meetings, with two wins and a draw, Sociedad are poised to pick up a third straight win in this fixture.

Barcelona v Rayo Vallecano

Tuesday, February 18 – 7am AEDT – Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys

Two points behind the league leaders following their commanding 4-1 win over Sevilla, third-placed Barcelona will be keen on solidifying their title hopes against Rayo Vallecano, in sixth after a three-game win streak. Raphinha netted his 24th goal of the season last Sunday, and the top online betting sites are paying $2 for the Barca forward to find the back of the net.
