Celta Vigo vs Getafe Prediction and Betting Tips

Posted on: 15 Aug 2025

Celta Vigo begin the new season in La Liga with a home game against Getafe. Balaidos was a fortress for the Galicians last term, so they’ll be hungry to make a positive start. Claudio Giraldez has done a fantastic job in Vigo, promoting a host of young players to the senior squad, and delivering European qualification last term. He has […]

Athletic Club vs Sevilla Prediction and Betting Tips

Posted on: 15 Aug 2025

After a miserable pre-season, Athletic Club are hoping to get back to winning ways when they host Sevilla on the opening weekend in La Liga. Ernesto Valverde’s side opted for a really tough pre-season schedule given they are gearing up for Champions League football. However, they found it tough going, losing six straight friendly matches, including three in England against […]

Espanyol vs Atletico Madrid Prediction and Betting Tips

Posted on: 15 Aug 2025

Atletico Madrid start the new season with a trip to the RCDE Stadium to take on Espanyol, and Diego Simeone could name as many as five new signings in his first starting lineup. For the second summer in succession, Los Rojiblancos have really attacked the transfer market. Alex Baena is their headline addition, while Argentine Thiago Almada is also rated […]

Alaves vs Levante Prediction and Betting Tips

Posted on: 14 Aug 2025

Levante return to the Spanish top flight, after three years in the Segunda Division, this weekend. They begin with an away game against a likely rival in the fight for survival. The opposition comes from Alaves who secured safety under Chacho Coudet last season, although they did only finish two points above the relegation zone. They’ve since lost Kike Garcia, […]

Mallorca vs Barcelona Prediction and Betting Tips

Posted on: 14 Aug 2025

Barcelona begin their La Liga title defence with an away game against Mallorca. Hansi Flick’s team won every domestic trophy last term, and they’re looking confident again heading into the new season. The Catalan giants have won all four pre-season games, scoring 20 goals in the process. While three of those matches were against limited opponents in the Far East, […]

Valencia vs Real Sociedad Prediction and Betting Tips

Posted on: 14 Aug 2025

Valencia and Real Sociedad meet on the opening weekend in La Liga, with both sides reeling to some extent after major departures this summer. Most of those were anticipated, but that won’t make it any easier for Valencia to fill the voids left by the likes of Giorgi Mamardashvili, Cristhian Mosquera and Enzo Barrenechea who are no longer at the […]

Girona vs Rayo Vallecano Prediction and Betting Tips

Posted on: 13 Aug 2025

The opening game of La Liga 2025/26 comes from Montilivi on Friday, as Girona take on Rayo Vallecano, with both sides hungry to make a winning start. After two vastly contrasting seasons, it’s difficult to know what to expect from the hosts. Girona stormed the top three in the 2023/24 season, before collapsing to a 16th place finish last term. […]

Wycombe vs Stockport Prediction and Betting Tips

Posted on: 07 Aug 2025

Two clubs with top-six aspirations in League One meet at Adams Park this Saturday. The onus is on Wycombe to open their points tally as they play host to Stockport. It was a disastrous opening to the season for Mike Dodds who saw his team fall 2-0 down inside the opening 15 minutes at Bradford. Wycombe did compose themselves after […]

Stevenage vs Rotherham Prediction and Betting Tips

Posted on: 07 Aug 2025

Stevenage and Rotherham meet on the second weekend of League One, with both clubs looking to build on winning starts to the season. Alex Revell’s side caused something of an upset in their first game, by going away to Blackpool and winning a cracking match 3-2. Despite falling behind early on, Stevenage came roaring back with three unanswered goals, including […]
