La Liga round 20 soccer tips, free betting predictions & odds

La Liga action heats up this weekend with a thrilling lineup of seven matches in Spanish football. Here’s a closer look at what to expect on Matchday 20 of the 2023/24 La Liga Season in AEDT (Australian Eastern Daylight Time):

Sevilla vs Deportivo Alaves Preview

Saturday, January 13 – 6:00am AEDT – Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan

Sevilla finds themselves precariously perched just one point above the relegation zone, enduring a challenging season. The woes have been particularly pronounced on home turf, where they’ve failed to secure a victory in their last eight outings. However, a glimmer of hope emerges as they take on fellow relegation contenders, Deportivo Alaves. Alaves, the second-lowest scoring team in La Liga, have managed just one win in their past eleven meetings against Sevilla. This could be the turning point for Sevilla to secure a vital win.

Las Palmas vs Villarreal Preview

Saturday, January 13 – 11:00am AEDT – Estadio de Gran Canaria

Las Palmas faces a challenging period, having gone winless in their last three matches due to a demanding fixture list. Their objective is to return to the form they displayed before the Christmas break as they host the unpredictable Villarreal. While Las Palmas has struggled to find the net this season, their defensive prowess has been evident. Villarreal, on the other hand, hasn’t kept a clean sheet in their last six games. This sets the stage for Las Palmas to potentially dominate.

Mallorca vs Celta Vigo Preview

Saturday, January 13 – 1:15pm AEDT – Estadi Mallorca Son Moix

Celta Vigo is riding high after a crucial 2-1 victory over Real Betis last week, which has lifted them out of the relegation zone for the first time this season. Their next challenge is a trip to face Mallorca, who boast an impressive eight-match unbeaten streak at home. Mallorca has also dominated recent encounters, winning the last three meetings against Celta Vigo. All signs point to Mallorca as the team to back in this matchup.

Athletic Club vs Real Sociedad Preview

Saturday, January 13 – 3:30pm AEDT – San Mames Barria

In what promises to be the highlight of the weekend, Athletic Club squares off against Real Sociedad in the Basque Derby. Both teams are riding high on 12-match unbeaten streaks in all competitions, setting the stage for an exhilarating clash. The home advantage has been significant, with Athletic Club winning the last five encounters between these two sides. With Real Sociedad missing key players due to international duty and suspension, Athletic Club is favored to come out on top in this thrilling showdown.

Real Betis vs Granada Preview

Saturday, January 13 – 6:00pm AEDT – Estadio Benito Villamarin

Real Betis aims to bounce back after their impressive 13-match unbeaten run came to an end last weekend. They face Granada, currently sitting 19th and without an away win since last season. Real Betis boasts one of the best defenses in La Liga, conceding half as many goals as Granada. All signs point to Real Betis resuming their winning ways in this encounter.

Almeria vs Girona Preview

Sunday, January 14 – 11:00am AEDT – Power Horse Stadium

Girona seizes the opportunity to apply pressure on Real Madrid as they face 20th-placed Almeria. Almeria has been winless this season, and their chances of causing an upset are slim as they face the league’s top attack against the weakest defense. With the odds heavily in favor of Girona, consider pairing it with the over for added value with top soccer bookmakers.

Cadiz vs Valencia Preview

Sunday, January 14 – 1:15pm AEDT – Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla

Valencia comes into this match undefeated in their last three outings, propelling them into the top half of the table. They face Cadiz, currently in 18th place, with the league’s worst attack and no wins since September. However, it’s worth noting that Valencia has never emerged victorious in Cadiz, and their away form has been less than stellar. This contest could be more closely contested than anticipated.
