Today’s La Liga betting tips & predictions
Real Sociedad vs. Levante (1pm)
Real Sociedad’s inconsistency could cost them a spot in Europe if they don’t start winning more often. The team haven't recorded two consecutive league wins since January, but most of their poor results have come on the road, which is key here.
It’s fair to say that Levante are in their best form of the season, having gone four consecutive matches without a loss (W2, D2). But like Real Sociedad, they too win mostly at home. As visitors, they have seven losses in their last 10 matches.
The White and Blues have six wins in their last seven home games (D1), scoring at least two goals in six of those matches. We plan to back them for the win, but you could also try over 1.5 goals for the home team or even the regular Over 2.5 market.

Mallorca vs. Real Madrid (3:15pm)
Real Madrid are in good form if we look only at the results, but if we look at the number of goals they’ve conceded, they’re certainly not at their best.
Mallorca are one step away from escaping the relegation zone, sitting just one point behind Elche heading into this match. Their home form is definitely not bad, as they have failed to score in only one of their last 10 matches.
All the statistics and the importance of this match for both teams point to a high-scoring game, so we’ll bet on over 2.5 goals, while BTTS also offers significant value.
Mallorca vs. Real Madrid top betting tip: Over 2.5 goals
Real Betis vs. Espanyol (5:30pm)
Neither Betis nor Espanyol are in enviable form, and this match is crucial in the race for European qualification.
Espanyol remain winless in 2026, and the main reason for this is their dreadful defence. Since the start of the year, they have played 11 matches, conceding an average of 2.45 goals per game. The only positive is that they have scored at least once in nine of those matches.
Betis are in a slightly better position and will rely on their relatively solid home form. But in any case, we expect goals at both ends.

Atletico Madrid vs. Barcelona (8:00pm)
Atletico Madrid and Barcelona are facing off for the fourth time this season, and they will play each other twice more in the Champions League over the next two weeks.
Every match so far has been a high-scoring affair, which is standard for these teams. We expect the same now, given their recent individual results. Eight of Atletico’s last 10 matches have featured at least three goals, and seven of those eight have featured at least five goals.
This match isn’t crucial for Atletico, who have no chance at the title but are firmly in the top four. But the three points are crucial for Barcelona, so we expect goals.
