La Liga 2024/25 predictions: Gameweek 14

Barcelona will look to put their narrow 1-0 defeat on the road to Real Sociedad when they embark on another away game against Celta Vigo. Despite the setback, they remain six points clear at the top of the table, although they have played a game more than Real Madrid.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid will only think about maintaining their momentum when they face Leganes as visitors. It is important to know that this week’s La Liga matchday 14 predictions are based on current form, data, and expert knowledge.

Our Predictions for La Liga Matchday 14

Getafe and Real Valladolid to continue their struggles in the final third: Getafe vs Real Valladolid

• Date: 22/11/2024
• Kick-off: 21:00
• Both teams struggle to delight their fans with goals, and they are likely to continue their struggles across the face of goal.

Getafe scored only eight goals in 13 matches but conceded 11 goals. Matches involving this team rarely produce two goals. Real Valladolid’s attack is somewhat better, with 10 goals scored, and their backline is worse (25 goals conceded). We doubt either team will score two goals, so it is safe to expect a low-scoring game in Madrid.

Getafe vs Real Valladolid prediction: Under 2.5 goals

Real Betis to avoid defeat against Betis: Valencia vs Real Betis

• Date: 23/11/2024
• Kick-off: 14:00
• Real Betis are unbeaten in their last two league games, and they are likely to continue that against struggling Valencia.

Valencia didn’t take part in the last two rounds due to the floods that took place in the city. They sit at the bottom of the table with only one win in 11 matches, and getting something off Real Betis, who are in better form with two wins and two draws in their last four league games, is a stretch. We think the visitors can avoid a defeat in Valencia.

Valencia vs Real Betis prediction: Away team to win or draw

Alaves rancid form to continue in Madrid: Atletico Madrid vs Alaves

• Date: 23/11/2024
• Kick-off: 16:15
• Alaves lost eight of their last 13 league matches, and they are unlikely to get anything positive off Atletico Madrid, who are beginning to find their feet.

Atletico Madrid won three of their last five league matches and occupy the 3rd place with 26 points (seven wins and five draws). Alaves are in shambles, having lost eight of their opening 13 league games. They struggle on the road, and they are likely to repeat the same against Diego Simeone’s side.

Atletico Madrid vs Alaves prediction: Home team to win

Espanyol’s losing streak to extend to four matches in Catalonia: Girona vs Espanyol

• Date: 23/11/2024
• Kick-off: 18:30
• Girona won their last two league games, and they are somewhat likely to make it three wins in a spin against Espanyol, who lost their last three La Liga games.

Girona have struggled to replicate last season’s form, but their recent performances (three wins in their last five games) have been decent. They are likely to extend their win to three La Liga games in a spin if they do everything right at home because the visitors are in dire form, having lost their last three league games.

Girona vs Espanyol prediction: Home team to win

Las Palmas to avoid a defeat at home against struggling Mallorca: Las Palmas vs Mallorca

• Date: 23/11/2024
• Kick-off: 18:30
• Las Palmas may be closer to the relegation zone, but their recent form suggests they can avoid a defeat to Mallorca.

Mallorca won just once in their last five league matches (1W, 1D, 3L). Despite their recent dip in form, they remain in the top half of the La Liga standings with 18 points. They may occupy a higher position than Las Palmas, but their form doesn’t suggest they can get a win over Las Palmas, who won three of their last five league games.

Las Palmas vs Mallorca prediction: Home team to win or draw

Barcelona to bounce back to winning ways in style: Celta Vigo vs Barcelona

• Date: 23/11/2024
• Kick-off: 21:00
• Barcelona may have lost to Real Sociedad last time out, but they are likely to hit the ground running again with a win over Celta Vigo.

Celta Vigo are in rollercoaster form, having won two and lost two of their last five La Liga matches. To beat Barcelona, a team has to be at their absolute best and a bit of luck maybe, but even Real Madrid didn’t. We expect Hansi Flick’s side, who sits six points clear at the top of the standings, to get back to winning ways.

Celta Vigo vs Barcelona prediction: Away team to win

Osasuna and Villarreal to display their attacking prowess: Osasuna vs Villarreal

• Date: 24/11/2024
• Kick-off: 14:00
• Both Osasuna and Villarreal score and concede goals for fun, and we expect this encounter to follow suit.

Osasuna scored 17 goals and conceded 20 goals in 13 La Liga matches, while Villarreal are better in the attack and at the back, with 23 goals scored and 19 goals conceded in 12 games. We expect both teams to delight their fans with proper attacking football.

Osasuna vs Villarreal prediction: Both teams to score—yes

Sevilla and Rayo Vallecano to display a draw football: Sevilla vs Rayo Vallecano

• Date: 24/11/2024
• Kick-off: 14:00
• Matches involving Sevilla and Rayo Vallecano don’t produce many goals, unless they come up against Barcelona or Real Madrid.

Four of Sevilla’s last five La Liga matches ended with under 2.5 goals, while three of Rayo Vallecano's last five league matches ended with less than three goals. Both teams averaged less than 2.5 goals scored and conceded after 13 matches, and we expect this encounter to follow suit.

Sevilla vs Rayo Vallecano prediction: Under 2.5 goals

Real Madrid to extend their winning run to two matches: Leganes vs Real Madrid

• Date: 24/11/2024
• Kick-off: 18:30
• Leganes may have won two of their last five league games, but they are unlikely to count on any points against Real Madrid.

Real Madrid finally put their horrendous results to a halt with a thumping 4-0 win over Osasuna before the international break, and we expect them to extend their winning run to two games against the newly promoted side,Leganes, who only have three wins in 13 league games.

Leganes vs Real Madrid prediction: Away team to win

Real Sociedad and Athletic Bilbao to act overly cautious: Athletic Bilbao vs Real Sociedad

• Date: 24/11/2024
• Kick-off: 21:00
• Matches involving Real Sociedad and Athletic Bilbao don’t always produce many goals, and this encounter may suit.

Three of Athletic Bilbao club’s last five La Liga matches ended with under 2.5 goals, while Real Sociedad’s last five league games produced less than three goals. Both teams don’t score many goals, and they are likely to struggle in the final third.

Athletic Bilbao vs Real Sociedad prediction: Under 2.5 goals
