La Liga predictions: Gameweek 25: 21/02- 24/02
Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid aim to resume their winning ways this weekend, following two consecutive draws. Both Madrid clubs dropped points the last two weekends during the Madrid Derby and last weekend, Real were held to a 1-1 draw by Osasuna, and Atletico Madrid dropped points against Celta Vigo.
Barcelona will face struggling Las Palmas away from home, and their current form suggests they are likely to continue their unbeaten run.
This week’s La Liga 2024/25 Gameweek 25 predictions were based on current form, data, and expert knowledge.
La Liga 2024/25 Gameweek 25 predictions: 21/02/2025 - 24/02/2025
Celta Vigo and Osasuna to produce at least two goals: Celta Vigo vs Osasuna
- Date: 21/02/025
- Kick-off: 21:00
- Matches involving both teams are fond of producing at least two goals, and there’s no reason why the upcoming game won’t follow suit.
Osasuna and Celta Vigo usually produce at least two goals when they cross paths, and because eight of their last ten La Liga meetings ended with two or more goals, there’s a decent chance the upcoming game may follow suit.
Celta Vigo vs Osasuna prediction: Over 2.5 goals
Espanyol to find the back of the net: Alaves vs Espanyol
- Date: 22/02/2025
- Kick-off: 14:00
- Espanyol somehow always turn up when they come up against Alaves, and expecting them to get a goal at least in the upcoming game rather looks feasible.
Espanyol lost just once in their last six La Liga matches against Alaves and their current form may not be good enough to expect them to avoid a defeat in Alava, but getting on the scoreboard isn’t a stretch, given that they scored in six of their last seven meetings with Alaves.
Alaves vs Espanyol prediction: Away total goals: Over 0.5
Rayo Vallecano and Villarreal to exchange goals: Rayo Vallecano vs Villarreal
- Date: 22/02/2025
- Kick-off: 16:15
- Both teams display their attacking threats when they come up against each other, and just like the reverse leg, the return leg may follow suit.
Rayo Vallecano and Villarreal exchanged goals in three of their last five league matches. The first leg ended in a 1-1 draw, although the Yellow Submarines finished the game with a man down. With both teams scoring goals lately, there’s a decent chance fans will witness goals from both ends.
Rayo Vallecano vs Villarreal prediction: Both teams to score - yes
Atletico Madrid to bounce back to winning ways: Valencia vs Atletico Madrid
- Date: 22/02/2025
- Kick-off: 18:30
- Atletico Madrid have dominated these meetings in recent years, and their current form suggests they can come away with a tight win.
Atletico Madrid have only recorded one defeat in their last 20 La Liga meetings with Valencia, and that was three years ago. The Madrid club may have dropped points in their last two games, but they remain in the title race, and a win over struggling Valencia will see them stay close in the race.
Valencia vs Atletico Madrid prediction: Away team to win
Las Palmas and Barcelona to delight fans with goals: Las Palmas vs Barcelona
- Date: 22/02/2025
- Kick-off: 21:00
- Matches involving both teams usually end with three or more goals, and we think the upcoming game may follow suit.
Las Palmas and Barcelona are fond of entertaining fans with goals when they play against each other, and their previous meetings suggest this encounter will produce goals as well. Seven of their last ten La Liga meetings ended with three or more goals, so we can anticipate the same in Gran Canaria.
Las Palmas vs Barcelona prediction: Over 2.5 goals
Athletic Bilbao and Real Valladolid to entertain fans with goals: Athletic Club vs Valladolid
- Date: 23/02/2025
- Kick-off: 14:00
- Goals are easily scored in matches involving both teams, and there’s no reason why the upcoming meeting won’t follow suit.
Four of their last five La Liga meetings ended with three or more goals, although the reverse fixture ended in a shock 1-1 draw. Both teams come up against each other in the coming week, and with Athletic Bilbao scoring goals for fun, there’s a decent chance three or more goals will be scored in Bilbao.
Real Madrid and Girona to display their attacking prowess: Real Madrid vs Girona
- Date: 23/02/2025
- Kick-off: 16:15
- Goals are easily scored in these meetings between Real Madrid and Girona, and like the first leg, we expect the return leg to follow suit.
Eight of Real Madrid’s last nine La Liga matches ended with three or more goals, and the chances of the return leg ending the same are high. Real Madrid will take on Manchester City in midweek in the Champions League, which means they are unlikely to be at their full strength against Girona, who will relish the opportunity to display their attacking points in Madrid.
Real Madrid vs Girona prediction: Over 2.5 goals
Getafe and Real Betis to struggle in the final third: Getafe vs Real Betis
- Date: 23/02/2025
- Kick-off: 18:30
- Matches involving these two teams rarely produce goals, and there’s no reason not to anticipate the same from the upcoming game.
Getafe and Real Betis struggle in front of goals when they come up against each other, and the same could happen in Madrid. Nine of their last ten La Liga meetings ended with under 2.5 goals, so the possibility of this happening is high.
Getafe vs Real Betis prediction: Under 2.5 goals
Real Sociedad and Leganes to enter fans with goals: Real Sociedad vs Leganes
- Date: 23/02/2025
- Kick-off: 21:00
- It’s a bit odd that matches involving these two teams are fond of producing three or more goals, so expecting the upcoming game to follow suit shouldn’t raise many eyebrows.
Leganes and Real Sociedad are not known to score many goals, but their previous meetings suggest otherwise. Four of their last five La Liga meetings ended with at least three goals, and because the hosts struggled to dominate Leganes in recent games, we can rely on both teams producing at least three goals.
Real Sociedad vs Leganes prediction: Over 2.5 goals
Sevilla and Mallorca to struggle in the final third: Sevilla vs Mallorca
- Date: 24/02/2025
- Kick-off: 21:00
- Matches involving both teams struggle to produce goals, and the return leg may likely follow suit.
Both teams settled in a goalless draw in their last meeting, and eight of their last ten La Liga meetings ended with less than three goals. Given Sevilla’s scoring form and Mallorca’s defensive resilience, the upcoming game may likely lack goals.
