La Liga 2024/25 predictions: Gameweek 15
Barcelona are winless in their last two La Liga matches, but they are increasingly likely to change that this weekend when they host Las Palmas in Barcelona. The Catalans lost 1-0 to Real Sociedad before the international break and drew 2-2 at Celta Vigo, despite leading the hosts 2-0 at one point during the game.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid will continue to add pressure on Barcelona at the top of the standings when they host struggling Getafe in Madrid. Understand that these La Liga gameweek 13 predictions were made based on current form, expert knowledge and data.
Our La Liga gameweek 15 predictions
Mallorca and Valencia to struggle in the final third: Mallorca vs Valencia
- Date: 29/11/2024
- Kick-off: 21:00
- Matches involving Valencia or Mallorca lack goals, and we don’t expect many goals when two struggling teams meet.
Mallorca averaged 1.785 goals per game in 14 La Liga matches. They scored 13 goals and conceded 12 goals, which suggests they are unlikely to score at least two goals against Valencia, who conceded 19 goals in 14 games. Expecting less than three goals to be scored in this fixture isn’t insane.
Mallorca vs Valencia prediction: Under 2.5 goals
Barcelona and Las Palmas to exchange goals in Catalonia: Barcelona vs Las Palmas
- Date: 30/11/2024
- Kick-off: 14:00
- Barcelona may be the favourites to win this game, but they are unlikely to keep a clean sheet against Las Palmas.
Las Palmas may be a midtable team, but they relatively find it simple to get on the scoreboard, most especially when they play as visitors. The Yellow Submarines scored in each of their last five away matches, and there are suggestions that this trend may continue against Barcelona.
Barcelona vs Las Palmas prediction: Both teams to score—yes
Alaves and Leganes struggle to create many noteworthy moments: Alaves vs Leganes
- Date: 20/11/2024
- Kick-off: 16:15
- Alaves and Leganes struggle to score goals, and they may continue their struggles when they meet in Alava.
Alaves scored 15 goals in 14 La Liga matches, while Leganes are worse with 13 goals scored in 14 matches. Both teams rarely score more than one goal per match, so we expect this encounter to produce less than three goals.
Alaves vs Leganes prediction: Under 2.5 goals
Espanyol or Celta Vigo to score in the first half: Espanyol vs Celta Vigo
- Date: 30/11/2024
- Kick-off: 18:30
- Goals are commonly scored in the first half in matches involving Espanyol or Celta Vigo, and the upcoming game may follow suit.
At least one goal was scored in the first half in each of Espanyol’s last five matches and in four of Celta Vigo’s last five games. We think their upcoming encounter will follow suit.
Espanyol vs Celta Vigo prediction: 1st half over 0.5 goals
Atletico Madrid to continue their winning ways: Real Valladolid vs Atletico Madrid
- Date: 30/11/2024
- Kick-off: 21:00
- Real Valladolid are the worst team in La Liga this term, and they are unlikely to change that against 3rd-placed Atletico Madrid.
Real Valladolid sit at the bottom of the standings with only two wins in 14 matches, and their current form is nothing short of an embarrassment. Atletico Madrid are on a winning spree, having won their last three matches across all competitions, including their massive 6-0 win on the road against Slavia Prague in the Champions League. The Madrid outfit is expected to take all three points, thanks to both teams’ current form.
Valladolid vs Atletico Madrid prediction: Away team to win
Villarreal and Girona to entertain fans with goals: Villarreal vs Girona
- Date: 01/12/2024
- Kick-off: 14:00
- Villarreal and Girona are decent goal-scoring teams, and we expect both teams to display their attacking prowess.
The Yellow Submarines scored 25 goals and conceded 21 goals in 13 La Liga matches, while Girona scored 20 goals and let in 18 goals in 14 league matches. It is obvious both teams score goals as easily as they concede, and we expect them to repeat the same in Villarreal this weekend.
Villarreal vs Girona prediction: Both teams to score—yes
Real Madrid to maintain their winning momentum: Real Madrid vs Getafe
- Date: 01/12/2024
- Kick-off: 16:15
- Real Madrid haven’t dropped points in La Liga since their 4-0 home loss to Barcelona, and Getafe aren’t the team to stop them.
The Whites won their last two matches comfortably against Osasuna and Leganes, and they are expected to make it three wins in a row when they host Getafe, who have only two wins in their last 14 league games. Real Madrid may be without Vinicius Jr., but Getafe wouldn’t cause a fright in his absence in Madrid.
Real Madrid vs Getafe prediction: Home team to win
Athletic Bilbao to avoid defeat in a cagey game in Madrid: Rayo Vallecano vs Athletic Bilbao
- Date: 01/12/2024
- Kick-off: 18:30
- Athletic Bilbao did not lose in their last five matches, to say the least, and Rayo Vallecano are not in the best shape to cause any drama.
Rayo Vallecano won only two of their last five league matches. They have struggled against teams in the top half of the table this term, but Athletic Bilbao aren’t just a team in the top half but a team fighting for a top-four finish. The visitors are unbeaten in their last five league games, and we think they can avoid a defeat in Madrid while managing the game to produce less than four goals.
Rayo Vallecano vs Athletico Bilbao prediction: Away team to win or draw & under 3.5 goals
Real Sociedad and Real Betis to be involved in a cagey game: Real Sociedad vs Real Betis
- Date: 01/12/2024
- Kick-off: 21:00
- Matches involving Real Sociedad or Real Betis rarely produce many goals, and we expect this encounter to follow suit.
Real Sociedad averaged 1.57 goals per game, having scored 11 goals and conceded 11 goals in 14 league matches. Real Betis have a better goal average but are still below the 2.5 mark—2.29 goals per game after 14 matches. Given this data, we can anticipate less than three goals from this match.
Real Sociedad vs Real Betis prediction: Under 2.5 goals
Sevilla and Osasuna to exchange goals in Seville: Sevilla vs Osasuna
- Date: 02/12/2024
- Kick-off: 21:00
- Osasuna and Sevilla commonly display their attacking mastery when they cross paths, and this encounter may extend the trend.
Sevilla and Osasuna exchanged goals in four of their last five meetings. Both teams are scoring and conceding goals this term, and we feel this clash may follow suit with their previous five matches.
