Matchday 18 predictions
Rayo Vallecano vs Getafe
Tip: Under 2.5 Goals
Reason: Two teams that are still bruising after defeats in the previous Matchday kick off La Liga Matchday 18. Both teams are in poor form and have not scored in their last three La Liga matches. With their last seven meetings ending with fewer than 2.5 goals, this encounter should follow suit.
Celta Vigo vs Valencia
Tip: BTTS
Reason: Both teams are in good form in front of goal recently, having scored a goal in six of their last seven respective outings. Their previous four meetings have featured both sides on the scoresheet, and this match should be no different.
Osasuna vs Athletic Bilbao
Tip: Over 1.5 Goals
Reason: Osasuna and Bilbao have picked up some form recently after dreadful starts and will be looking to add to their points tally after the Christmas break. Both sides have seen six of their last seven meetings end with over 1.5 goals; this match is likely to follow the same trend.
Elche vs Villarreal
Tip: BTTS
Reason: Elche are strong at home this season and have yet to taste defeat at home. They host a wounded Villareal side that is on a three-game losing streak in all competitions and will be looking for redemption when they return from the break.
Espanyol vs Barcelona
Tip: Barcelona WIN
Reason: The latest installment of the Catalan Derby sees Espanyol host Barcelona. Despite Espanyol’s recent good showing, they should struggle against their rivals, with Raphina and Yamal eager to continue their heroics from La Liga Matchday 17.
Sevilla vs Levante
Tip: Sevilla WIN
Reason: Levante are winless in their last seven league games (2D, 5L) and are all but relegated as they securely hold on to last place in the La Liga standings. Sevilla are struggling this season, but have had a good showing in their defeats and should scrape a victory here.
Real Madrid vs Real Betis
Tip: Real Madrid WIN
Reason: Madrid will be looking to chip away at the gap between themselves and Barca, who top the La Liga log. This encounter is normally a tight affair; however, Madrid should be aiming to get the fans back on their side, and golden boot candidate Kylian Mbappe should add to his 22 G/As.
Alaves vs Real Oviedo
Tip: Under 2.5 Goals
Reason: Both teams find themselves in the bottom half of teams that have produced matches with more than 2.5 goals. Both teams have scored only 21 goals between them in their 17 La Liga matches, averaging just under 2 goals per league game.
Mallorca vs Girona
Tip: Under 2.5 Goals
Reason: A six-pointer awaits relegation candidates Mallorca and Girona when they return from the Christmas break. This should be a tight encounter, and with both teams scoring on average a goal per game, this meeting should see fewer than 2.5 goals.
Real Sociedad vs Atlético Madrid
Tip: Atlético Madrid WINReason: Atlético Madrid will be looking to add to their tally with another win against Real Sociedad, whom they have defeated in three of their last five visits (2 Draws). Sociedad are inconsistent at home (3W 1D 4L) and should struggle to keep Alvarez and co. quiet.
