La Liga stats and tips
Cadiz v Mallorca - Over / Under 3.5 Goals - under
Mallorca travel to Cadiz for this Sunday afternoon fixture. 5 of KickOff's members believe it will end with under 3.5 goals. That could mean anything from a 0-0 to a thrilling, end-to-end 2-1 win for one side or another. It does rule out a real humdinger though.
Granada v Osasuna - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Granada CF have played out some low-scoring games in La Liga in recent weeks. There have been under 2.5 goals in each of José Ramón Sandoval Huertas's side's last 5 outings and, with Jagoba Arrasate and his Osasuna ahead on Sunday afternoon, their attackers would be well advised to put in some extra graft in the build-up.
Villarreal v R.Vallecano - Win / Draw / Win - home win
Recent activity among our tipsters shows a number of them trust Marcelino Toral and his chances of delivering victory for Villarreal on Sunday evening. 10 have bet on him to propel his side to emerge victorious from their encounter with Rayo Vallecano. Hopefully the home boss doesn't let them down.
Real Betis v Sevilla - Double Chance - away win or draw
Real Betis have found something of a bogey team in Sevilla in the La Liga in recent years. The two clubs have clashed on 10 occasions since 2019, and Sevilla have been unbeaten in them all. Sunday's game at Benito Villamarín could be a really difficult one for Manuel Pellegrini & co.
Barcelona v Valencia - Win / Draw / Win - home win
Valencia CF are in for a big test as they go to Camp Nou. Home victories occur most of the time in La Liga, and the expectation is that FC Barcelona and their manager Xavier Hernández Creus will deliver exactly that as they face R.

Getafe v A.Bilbao - Over / Under 4.5 Goals - under
Common or not, every football fan loves to see a match in which 5 goals or more are scored, but Athletic Bilbao's hardy supporters have now waited 8 matches to see their team serve one up. That’s too long by anyone’s count. Will that much-needed goal-fest finally come around on Friday night, as they face Pepe Bordalas's Getafe at Coliseum Alfonso Pérez? With odds of 1.06 on there being 4 goals or fewer being scored, the UK's leading bookmakers are making their thoughts on the matter perfectly clear.
R.Sociedad v Las Palmas - Win / Draw / Win - home win
Losing streaks can be incredibly difficult to break, but that's exactly what must be done by Las Palmas boss Francisco Javier García Pimienta on Saturday. His side face Real Sociedad having been beaten in each of their last 6 La Liga matches.
Real Madrid v Cadiz - Win / Draw / Win - home win
There's some serious momentum building behind Real Madrid at the moment. They've won 6 consecutive La Liga outings, and Carlo Ancelotti will be desperate to continue that form as they come up against Cadiz at Santiago Bernabéu on Saturday afternoon.
Girona v Barcelona - Both Teams To Score & Result - home
FC Barcelona will know that 1 goal is unlikely to be enough to come out on top against Girona on Saturday evening. Miguel Ángel Sánchez Muñoz's team have the best record in La Liga when it comes to conceding yet still claiming victory (13 of their 33 games), so defence first might be the only viable route for Xavier Hernández Creus and his FC Barcelona men at Municipal de Montilivi.
Celta v Villarreal - Both Teams To Score - yes
Fans at Balaídos will be fully expecting plenty goalmouth action on Sunday, and with good reason if Villarreal's past record is anything to go by. There have been a goal in both nets in 26 of their 32 La Liga fixtures this season, the largest number in the competition.
