With the La Liga title now decided, and four of the five teams that will play in the UCL next season confirmed, all that’s left is to find out which team will join them last, and the answer to that could come as early as Tuesday.
Two teams are still in contention for the fifth Champions League ticket, and both will play their Round 36 matches on Tuesday. Celta Vigo host Levante, and Real Betis host Elche, so both sides have a fair opportunity to perform well.
Continue reading below for our expert tips and predictions for all three La Liga fixtures on the schedule.
Today’s La Liga betting tips & predictions
Celta Vigo vs. Levante (6pm)
Celta Vigo made another huge step towards the Champions League when they defeated Atletico Madrid away from home on Saturday. One misstep and it will all be over, however, as Betis hold a four-point lead with three games remaining.
They will face a motivated Levante, who finally found some form at the end of the season, and have every chance to escape relegation. Their best performances, however, have been at home, while on the road, Levante haven’t won since the start of January.
On paper, Celta Vigo should bring this one home, but we’d rather bet on goals, considering Levante’s improvement, and the hosts’ recent struggles at home. There is a good chance we will see goals on both ends.
Celta Vigo vs. Levante top betting tip: Over 2.5 goals
Real Betis vs. Elche (7pm)
Elche’s bid for survival took another heavy hit with their draw at home against Alaves, but they remain in a great position. Real Betis, however, will have different ideas, now that they have a huge opportunity to qualify to the Champions League.
Los Verdiblancos’ form has improved since they dropped out of the Europa League, and they are generally undefeated in the last six La Liga rounds. But their defence has been far from impressive, and we believe Elche will have enough opportunities to score.
Like the Celta vigo game, we anticipate action and goals. This match is just as important for Betis, as it is for Elche, and the visitors have won a lot more matches recently.
Real Betis vs. Elche top betting tip: Over 2.5 goals
Osasuna vs. Atletico Madrid (8:30pm)
Despite losing to Celta Vigo, Atletico have already secured their Champions League spot, and need just one point to secure their top four place too.
Osasuna will be a lot more desperate to get the win on Tuesday, considering that it may be their last chance to attack the top eight. Playing in Europe is still on the table, as they trail Getafe by three points.
Both sides have been very inconsistent lately, but Osasuna can atleast boast some home form. Before their recent loss to Barcelona, the Little Reds hadn’t lost at home since November. At the same time, Atletico have lost six of their last eight away games in all competitions.
Osasuna vs. Atletico Madrid top betting tip: Osasuna draw no bet
