There are several exciting matches to anticipate throughout the week in the Spanish top-flight. Here are our free soccer betting picks and predictions for all 10 games on Matchday 36 of La Liga.

Osasuna vs Real Mallorca

Tuesday, May 14 – 7:30pm CEST – El Sadar Stadium

Trailing their hosts by five points, Real Mallorca are aiming to complete the season double over Osasuna. Both with a single win from their last six league outings, expect both sides to score as they aim to finish the season strongly.

Real Madrid vs Deportivo Alaves

Tuesday, May 14 – 9:30pm CEST – Estadio Santiago Bernabeu

Expect nothing less than a convincing win by champions Real Madrid, who have triumphed over 11th-placed Alaves 17 times in their last 19 meetings.

Girona vs Villarreal

Tuesday, May 14 – 10pm CEST – Estadi Montilivi

On course to secure the Golden Boot with 20 goals, expect Girona striker Artem Dovbyk — who scored in the reverse fixture — to get on the scoresheet once again against Villarreal.

Rayo Vallecano vs Granada

Wednesday, May 15 – 7:30pm CEST – Estadio de Vallecas

Granada were relegated to the Segunda Division after Real Mallorca’s victory over Las Palmas on Saturday. Consequently, the Andalusian side looks all but assured of losing against hosts Rayo Vallecano, who still have much to play for.

Sevilla vs Cadiz

Wednesday, May 15 – 7:30 CEST – Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium

Held to a 2-2 draw at Cadiz in October, Sevilla are hoping to secure all three points in the reverse fixture. With four wins from their last six games, expect the hosts to edge past relegation-threatened Cadiz, who have two wins from their last six matches.

Celta Vigo vs Athletic Bilbao

Wednesday, May 15 – 10pm CEST – Estadio de Balaidos

Although they have just one victory from their last six games, Athletic Bilbao remain strongly positioned to secure European football. Sitting a place above the relegation zone, hosts Celta Vigo — who have two wins from their last six games — could use all three points. Expect both sides to score in this entertaining encounter.

Getafe vs Atletico Madrid

Wednesday, May 15 – 10pm CEST – Estadio Coliseum

With three consecutive wins, fourth-placed Atletico Madrid are on course to secure Champions League football ahead of Athletic Bilbao, who are eight points adrift. Diego Simeone’s side should clinch a win over Getafe, who have not beaten them in any of their previous 19 encounters.

Las Palmas vs Real Betis

Thursday, May 16 – 7:30pm CEST – Gran Canaria Stadium

In pursuit of European football, Real Betis are strong favourites with online bookmakers as they travel to face Las Palmas. Betis, with four wins from their last five games, should secure all three points against a team staring at a ninth consecutive defeat.

Almeria vs Barcelona

Thursday, May 16 – 9:30pm CEST – Power Horse Stadium

Barcelona, who also have a Monday night showdown with Real Sociedad, are poised for an imposing performance over already-relegated Almeria. With 17 Liga goals this season, look for star striker Robert Lewandowski to find the back of the net.

Real Sociedad vs Valencia

Thursday, May 16 – 10pm CEST – Anoeta Stadium

Six points ahead of Valencia with a game in hand, Real Sociedad are on the brink of securing European football. In recent years, matches between these sides have been low-scoring affairs, and this should be no different.
