Oviedo vs Mallorca
Oviedo enters the match in 20th place with 9 points. They are playing poorly, with limited offensive production and only 7 goals scored this season. The team struggles to create chances, and their defense often breaks down under high pressure. Rondon is the top scorer, but that’s not enough for a strong attacking impact. Their home record is weak, with 1 win, 2 draws, and 4 losses, resulting in a goal difference of 2:10, which shows their inefficiency and difficulties in controlling the pace at home. Oviedo’s gameplay seems static, with slow transitions and few players in the attacking third, which further reduces their threat in offense.
Mallorca is in 16th place with 13 points. They have a much better offensive profile, but their away form is a serious issue with 6 losses out of 7 matches and a goal difference of 8:14. Their defense often has gaps, especially during transitions, but the individual quality in attack is much higher than that of their opponents. Muriqi, with 8 goals, is the main threat, while Joseph and Costa add depth and aggression up front. Even though Mallorca has better individual players, their inconsistency in away games remains a big weakness. However, the team knows how to punish mistakes, especially against rivals with low offensive impact like Oviedo.
Both teams are in poor form, but Mallorca has a clearer attacking identity, while Oviedo relies on disciplined but ineffective play. The match promises to be a battle with a small but significant advantage for the visitors due to their individual quality.

Villarreal vs Getafe
Villarreal is currently in 3rd place with 32 points and has an impressive offensive rhythm, scoring 29 goals, led by Moleiro, Buchanan, and Moreno. The team plays dynamic, technically excellent football with strong pressure and quick changes in tempo. Their home defense is solid, allowing only 4 goals in 7 matches.
The home form is outstanding, with 6 wins and 1 draw, and a goal difference of 18:4, making them one of the strongest home teams in the league. Villarreal easily creates chances and has good finishing, while the midfield operates compactly and aggressively, allowing for game control and constant pressure on the opponent.
Getafe is in solid form this season, sitting in 7th place with 20 points. They play inconsistently, especially struggling when playing away from home. The team has 3 wins and 4 losses on the road, with a goal difference of 6:10, which shows they have issues finishing and lack compactness in defense.
Offensively, Mayoral and Liso are the biggest threats, but the team often struggles to create chances against teams that control the pace of the game. Their away game is defensive and focused on counterattacks, but the lack of stability in the back line and problems in transition make Getafe vulnerable against technically strong teams like Villarreal.
Even though Getafe can be a tricky opponent, Villarreal has a much more dynamic style of play, better form, and far more quality players. The match promises to be one where the home team takes the initiative, and we expect them to secure three points in this game.

Alaves vs Real Sociedad
Alaves is in 14th place with 15 points and is entering the match with inconsistent form and limited offensive power. The team has scored 12 goals and conceded 15 in 14 matches played, showing moderate stability but with fluctuations in the finishing phase. Vicente, Martinez, and Boye are the biggest threats, but the team generally struggles to create chances.
Their home form is solid, with 3 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses, having a goal difference of 9:7, indicating that Alaves can be competitive at home, especially through a disciplined midfield and stable defense. However, they often face issues with pace and transition when up against technically superior teams. In the league, they have suffered three consecutive losses.
Real Sociedad is in 10th place with 16 points, and they have a stronger team profile and better individual players. They have scored 19 goals and conceded 21, with Oyarzabal, Barrenetxea, and Mendez being the main creative forces and goal scorers. After playing 14 matches this season, they have achieved 4 wins, 4 draws, and 6 losses.
However, their away games are a weakness, with only one win, 3 draws, and 3 losses, resulting in a goal difference of 8:10, which shows that Sociedad struggles to maintain consistency on the road. Even though the team creates enough chances, the problem lies in their inefficiency and a drop in intensity during the second half of matches, making them vulnerable against organized home teams.
The match presents a balance between Alaves’ solid home approach and Sociedad’s technical advantage. We expect a tough game with at least one goal from both sides, and we slightly favor the visitors for the win due to their individual quality up front.

Betis vs Barcelona
Betis is in 5th place with 24 points and they play pretty well, especially at home. However, this match is on a neutral stadium. The team has scored 22 goals and allowed 14, showing they have a balanced style with good execution and strong organization. Cucho Hernandez, Antony, and Fornals bring variety to the attack, and the team often combines vertical attacks with quick transitions.
At home, they have 4 wins in 7 matches and a goal difference of 11:6, which shows that Betis can apply pressure even against strong opponents, thanks to a disciplined midfield and aggressive pressing. Sometimes the defense struggles against technically superior teams, but overall, Betis looks competitive and confident.
Barcelona is back on top of the table with 37 points, playing exciting and attacking football with the best offense in the league, scoring 42 goals and only allowing 17. The team is in great momentum, with Lewandowski and Torres leading the attack, while Lamine Yamal and Raphinha add creativity and speed.
The away form is a bit inconsistent, and the team sometimes leaves space in defense and gets into open duels, but they usually come out on top because of their individual quality. Barcelona dominates possession, controls the pace, and creates many chances, and their quality in every line allows them to respond even in tough moments.
The match promises a fast pace and offensive play from both sides, with Barcelona taking the initiative and control, while Betis will try to respond through transitions. The difference in quality gives a slight but clear advantage to the visitors.

Ath Bilbao vs Atl. Madrid
Ath Bilbao is in 8th place with 20 points, playing in a variable form and facing issues with scoring, having only netted 14 goals in 15 matches played. The team plays intensely, with strong pressing and a high tempo, but often lacks finishing or precision in attack. Williams and Navarro are the most dangerous in offense, but their output is insufficient against strong defensive setups.
At home, their record shows 4 wins, 1 draw, and 3 losses with a goal difference of 8:9, indicating that even though Bilbao is aggressive at San Mames, they don’t easily concede goals. The team aims for physical duels and dynamic wings, but instability in crucial moments is a frequent issue.
Atl. Madrid is in 4th place with 31 points, coming in strong with a powerful offense and 28 goals scored, led by Alvarez, Griezmann, and Sorloth. The team mixes typical strength in defense with a well-developed transition and efficiency in attack, even though they have had some ups and downs recently, including a heavy loss to Barcelona last round.
Away from home, they have a modest record of 2 wins, 1 draw, and 4 losses with a goal difference of 6:11, showing that the team is vulnerable when playing away. However, their individual quality and discipline in executing tactical tasks usually keep their rating high, as they can easily punish mistakes and perform well under pressure.
The match promises to be an intense, physical duel, with a lot of fighting in the midfield. Atl. Madrid has a slight edge due to their individual quality and better finishing. We expect a game with few goals and a narrow advantage for the visitors.

Elche vs Girona
Elche is in 11th place with 16 points, entering this match with a decent but inconsistent form, even though their home games this season have been much more organized. The team has scored 15 goals and conceded 17, with Mir and Silva being the main offensive players who bring the needed efficiency. They play disciplined, focusing on a strong defensive structure and looking for direct solutions during transitions.
Their home form, with three wins and four draws and a goal difference of 9:5, is a big plus; they are unbeaten in front of their fans and know how to control the pace with a solid midfield. However, the issue is their variable intensity, and sometimes they pull back too much, leaving space for pressure from attacking teams.
Girona is in 18th place with 12 points, playing below their level from previous seasons and entering this match with a poor away record. The team has scored 13 goals and conceded 26, which shows they have issues with their defense and often allow chances. Ounahi, Stuani, and Vanat provide some threat up front, but it’s not enough for the team to feel comfortable.
Their away form includes three draws and just as many losses, with a goal difference of 5:12, indicating that Girona struggles to maintain compactness and frequently loses battles in the midfield, making it harder for them to keep up the pace and transition. The team knows how to play with rhythm, but their weak defensive reactions and frequent individual mistakes are a big weakness.
The match is expected to have a moderate pace, with Elche taking more initiative and Girona having limited offensive moments. The home team looks more consistent and confident in their structure.

Valencia vs Sevilla
Valencia is in 15th place with 14 points and comes into this match with mixed form, but there are signs of improvement in their recent performances. The team has scored 13 goals and conceded 22, which shows they have limited offensive production and defensive weaknesses, especially against teams that are technically better. Duro, Danjuma, and Lopez are the biggest threats, but the team often relies on individual moments instead of consistent teamwork.
At home, their record is three wins, two draws, and the same number of losses, with a goal difference of 9:6, which is solid. Valencia really seems more compact on their home ground, where they successfully slow down their opponents, although they still struggle to maintain rhythm and creativity in the final stages.
Sevilla is in 13th place with 16 points, which is below expectations, but they have the talent for much more. The team has scored 19 goals but has also conceded 23, highlighting their instability, especially in defense. Vargas, Romero, and Adams bring variety to the attack, but frequent tactical changes affect their rhythm and consistency.
Their away form shows three wins and four losses with a goal difference of 9:11, making it unpredictable. They can play bravely on the road, but they also easily lose control in the midfield. The team is more offensive than Valencia, but they play much riskier in defense.
The match promises a close duel with different styles, Valencia playing a more controlled game and Sevilla adopting a more offensive but riskier strategy.

Espanyol vs Rayo Vallecano
Espanyol is currently in 6th place with 24 points, playing solid football with a clear identity and strong organization, especially at home. The team has scored 18 goals and conceded 16, showing a balanced setup with defined roles in the midfield and attacking areas. Milla, Fernandez, and Garcia are the key offensive players, bringing creativity and finishing skills.
At home, they have five wins, two draws, and two losses with a goal difference of 12:10, making them competitive, confident, and capable of controlling the pace, although they sometimes allow easy goals due to a lack of focus. Their recent form has been positive, which is important before facing a rival that often plays openly.
Rayo Vallecano is currently in 9th place with 17 points. They come with a mixed form and a team structure that can be dangerous, but also tends to struggle under pressure. With a goal difference of 13:15 and many drawn matches, Rayo relies on collective intensity and pressing after losing the ball. De Frutos and Garcia are the most consistent in attack.
The lack of stability and inconsistent performances away from home, with three wins, one draw, and four losses, show that they have issues with creating, controlling, and finishing chances. The team is tough, but not always organized enough, and against stronger opponents, they often fall back into defense.
Espanyol will be more specific at home, while Rayo will try to control the midfield and wait for moments to score. The small differences in quality and control favor the home team.

Real Madrid vs Celta Vigo
Real Madrid enters the match with eight games unbeaten in the league. The team is perfect at home, winning all six matches with a goal difference of 14:3. They play in a controlled manner, with lots of energy and high scoring efficiency. In La Liga, their recent results show dominance against weaker teams, but in the last four rounds, they drew three times, losing their top position on the table.
The attack is running smoothly with Mbappe, who has scored 16 goals so far, along with Vinicius Junior, Guler, and Bellingham. Overall, the team has great offensive depth, a fast pace of play, creates many chances, and has talented individuals who can win the game on their own.
Celta Vigo is playing in a mixed form, currently sitting in 12th place with 16 points earned so far. In their last 4 matches, they have suffered three losses, including a defeat against Ludogorets in the Europa League. As a visiting team, they have decent results with three wins, two draws, and one loss, having a goal difference of 9:7. This shows that they perform better away than at home, and they have achieved three consecutive away victories.
Their attack is solid, but the defense often struggles under pressure. Iglesias is the only player in stable form, having scored 5 goals so far, while Aspas, Jutgla, and Duran have made minimal contributions.
In their recent head-to-head matches, Celta often scores from counterattacks or individual plays, but they rarely maintain the score or tempo. We expect Real to control the game and secure three points at home.

Osasuna vs Levante
Osasuna is in 17th place with 12 points and is entering this match under pressure, but they really need to use their home support to break their weak streak. The team often struggles with organization in the midfield, which leads to lost duels and easy goals conceded. However, they know how to create chances in offense through quick transitions and aggressive pressing.
The key factor is their better performance at home, where they score more and feel more confident. They have shown that they can control the pace of the game, and their recent more effective performances suggest a rise in self-confidence. If they keep their lines compact, Osasuna could turn the match in their favor, especially through direct attacks.
Levante is currently in 19th place with 9 points and continues to struggle with their results, facing a series of losses that push them deep into the relegation zone. The team plays hard, but their defense often breaks down due to poor positioning discipline. In offense, they create very few chances and rely on individual moments.
Their away game is better compared to their home games, and after playing 8 matches, they have achieved two wins, two draws, and four losses, scoring 1 goal and conceding the same number. Although they show brief periods of strength, they lack consistency. If they don’t stabilize their defensive block, they will face constant pressure, and their counter-attacks are too slow to be a threat.
Osasuna appears to be more consistent at home and has better mechanisms for creating chances, while Levante remains vulnerable and lacks a clear idea in attack.
