La Liga predictions: Barca vs Girona, Real vs Leganes 29/03-31/03

Atletico Madrid have a big chance to bounce back to winning ways this weekend when they take on struggling Espanyol away from home. Diego Simeone’s last two La Liga matches ended in defeats, but he can turn his side’s poor form around against Espanyol, who have been threatened by relegation.

Before the international break, Villarreal suffered a narrow 2-1 loss at home to Real Madrid, but they have a good chance of winning again when they travel to Madrid to play Getafe.

This week’s La Liga 2024/25 gameweek 28 predictions were based on current form, data, and expert knowledge.

La Liga 2024/25 gameweek 28 predictions: 29/03/2025 - 31/03/2025

Real Sociedad and Real Valladolid to struggle in the attacking half: Real Sociedad vs Real Valladolid

• Date: 29/03/2025
• Kick-off: 14:00
• Goals are hardly scored in matches involving both teams, and we expect the upcoming game to end similarly.

Real Sociedad and Real Valladolid have met many times in La Liga, but if we take a look at their last ten league meetings, we’ll see how both teams have struggled to find the back of the net. Eight of their last ten league meetings ended with less than three goals, so we can count on the upcoming game to follow suit.

Real Sociedad vs Real Valladolid prediction: Under 2.5 goals

Atletico Madrid to bounce back to winning ways: Espanyol vs Atletico Madrid

• Date: 29/03/2025
• Kick-off: 16:15
• Atletico Madrid need a win to close in on the likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid, and coming up against struggling Espanyol provides them a good chance.

Both teams have met many times in La Liga, but their last few meetings suggest Atletico Madrid have dominated these encounters in recent years. Atletico lost only two of their last ten matches against Espanyol, and coupled with the tasks at hand and the hosts’ poor form, we expect the visitors to come away with a tight win.

Espanyol vs Atletico Madrid prediction: Away team to win

Alaves and Rayo Vallecano will struggle in the final third: Alaves vs Rayo Vallecano

• Date: 29/03/2025
• Kick-off: 18:30
• Goals are usually rare in matches involving both teams, and we don’t think the upcoming game will be an exception. 

Both teams have come up on several occasions in La Liga, but their last few encounters give us a glimpse of how the upcoming game may end. Their last five league meetings ended with less than three goals, including the reverse fixture that ended in a 1-0 win for Rayo Vallecano. So we can anticipate the same from the upcoming encounter.

Alaves vs Rayo Vallecano prediction: Under 2.5 goals

Real Madrid to continue their dominance: Real Madrid vs Leganes

• Date: 29/03/2025
• Kick-off: 21:00
• Real Madrid enjoy coming up against Leganes, and we expect them to again come out on top in the upcoming meeting.

With their current form, we expect Real Madrid to easily defeat the visitors and continue to exert pressure on Barcelona at the top of the standings. Real Madrid hasn't lost a La Liga game against Leganes after nine attempts.

Real Madrid vs Leganes prediction: Home team to win

Getafe and Villarreal share the spoils: Getafe vs Villarreal

• Date: 30/03/2025
• Kick-off: 13:00
• Neither team was able to dominate these meetings in recent years, and we think the upcoming game will prove difficult to win for both teams.

Getafe and Villarreal have a long list of La Liga meetings, but their last few encounters suggest the upcoming game may end all square, as four of their previous five meetings ended in draws.

Getafe vs Villarreal prediction: Draw

Barcelona and Girona will entertain fans: Barcelona vs Girona

• Date: 30/03/2025
• Kick-off: 15:15
• Goals are usually scored when both teams come up against each other, and the upcoming game may follow suit.

Barcelona and Girona have met nine times in La Liga, and most of those meetings were entertaining. Six of those encounters ended with over 2.5 goals, and with Barca scoring goals lately, there’s a big chance the upcoming game may follow suit.

Barcelona vs Girona prediction: Over 2.5 goals

Valencia and Mallorca to struggle in the attacking half: Valencia vs Mallorca

• Date: 30/03/2025
• Kick-off: 17:30
• Goals are usually scarce in matches involving these teams, and with Valencia’s struggles in the final third, we expect the upcoming game to end similarly.

Both teams have shared the pitch many times at this level, but their last five meetings suggest the upcoming game may be uneventful. Three of their last five La Liga matches ended with less than three goals, and with Valencia searching for a point at least to increase their chances of avoiding relegation this term, there’s a big chance they can drag the tie to a drab draw.

Valencia vs Mallorca prediction: Under 2.5 goals

Athletic Club to maintain their winning ways: Athletic Bilbao vs Osasuna

• Date: 30/03/2025
• Kick-off: 17:30
• Osasuna are in poor form, and their record against Athletic Bilbao isn’t one to take a second look at.

Athletic Bilbao are pushing for a top-four finish to qualify for the Champions League, and coming up against a struggling Osasuna team is a chance for the hosts to grab more points. The visitors are winless in their last five matches, and their current form doesn’t inspire many to anticipate a positive result from them.

Athletic Bilbao vs Osasuna prediction: Home team to win

Real Betis and Sevilla to struggle in the final third: Real Betis vs Sevilla

• Date: 30/3/2025
• Kick-off: 21:00
• Both teams struggle to score goals when they come up against each other, and despite Real Betis’ current form, there’s a chance the upcoming game may follow suit.

Real Betis won their last five La Liga matches, but when they come up against Sevilla, they struggle. Four of their last five league meetings ended in draws, and all five games ended with under 2.5 goals. We dare to back the upcoming game to follow suit.

Real Betis vs Sevilla prediction: Under 2.5 goals

Celta Vigo and Las Palmas to exchange goals: Celta Vigo vs Las Palmas

• Date: 31/03/2025
• Kick-off: 21:00
• Both teams do not hesitate to display their attacking points when they come up against each other, and we expect the upcoming game to follow suit.

Both teams scored, and total goals exceeded three in eight of their last nine La Liga matches. Four of their last five games ended with three or more goals, and with both teams finding the net easily, expecting at least one goal from both ends isn’t a stretch. 

Celta Vigo vs Las Palmas prediction: Both teams to score - yes
