Girona vs RCD Espanyol

Friday, September 19 – 9pm CEST – Estadi Municipal de Montilivi

Girona will have most of the ball but are selective with risk, funnelling attacks wide for cutbacks rather than forcing low-percentage shots. Espanyol’s compact 4-4-2 travels well, denying central spaces and thriving in set-piece moments and counters. This fixture has ended in a draw in two of the last four clashes and that trend can continue here.

Getafe CF vs Levante UD

Saturday, September 27 – 2pm CEST – Coliseum Stadium

Getafe are trending up at home, with an impressive start to the season and a solid recent form line, while Levante arrive off a 4–1 home loss to Real Madrid and a broader run that includes multiple defeats. Levante also haven’t won away at Getafe since October 2018, pointing to a difficult matchup on the road—back the hosts to win.

Atlético Madrid vs Real Madrid

Saturday, September 27 – 4:15pm CEST – Estadio Riyadh Air Metropolitano

Real Madrid arrive perfect in La Liga and just smashed Levante 4–1 away, with Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Junior sharp and the midfield cruising in control. Atlético, though buoyed by Julián Álvarez’s hat-trick against Rayo, again leaked goals and struggled to protect a lead. With Real Madrid’s superior chance quality and form, back Los Blancos to win at the Metropolitano.

RCD Mallorca vs Deportivo Alavés

Saturday, September 27 – 6:30pm CEST – Estadi Mallorca Son Moix

Mallorca’s recent games have been tight — a 1–1 against Atlético followed by a 0–1 at Real Sociedad — with few clear looks either way. Alavés are on a similar run of low-margin results (1–0 at Athletic, 1–2 against Sevilla, 1–1 at Getafe). With both sides compact and chance creation modest, backing the draw makes sense.

Villarreal CF vs Athletic Club

Saturday, September 27 – 9pm CEST – Estadio de la Cerámica

Ayoze Pérez fits this matchup: he drifts off the right into the left-half space, attacking cutbacks and second balls. He’s fresh off regular minutes this month and remains central to Villarreal’s front line after joining from Betis last season—when he hit a standout league tally in yellow. With Athletic winless in three games and conceding in transitions, Ayoze’s movement profiles well to find the back of the net.

Rayo Vallecano vs Sevilla FC

Sunday, September 28 – 2pm CEST – Estadio de Mestalla

Rayo have been splitting points and keeping margins thin at Estadio de Mestalla. Sevilla’s form is mixed and they’re not exactly pulling away from opponents in matches. With both sides low-margin and prone to one-goal swings, a 1–1/0–0 draw feels the likeliest outcome.

Elche CF vs Celta Vigo

Sunday, September 28 – 4:15pm CEST – Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero

Borja Iglesias profiles well here: a penalty-box finisher who attacks near-post crosses and second balls, plus a reliable option from the spot. Elche’s back line can be exposed by wide deliveries and set pieces, especially when defending deep. With expected territorial edge for Cetla Viga, back Iglesias to score anytime.

FC Barcelona vs Real Sociedad

Sunday, September 28 – 6:30pm CEST – Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys

Barcelona are rolling under Hansi Flick: unbeaten and coming off a 3–1 fightback at Oviedo, with Robert Lewandowski back scoring off the bench, plus a 3–0 home win against Getafe last week. Real Sociedad only just snapped a poor start with a narrow 1–0 over Mallorca after a 3–1 loss at Betis. Barca should have too much firepower for the visitors.

Real Betis vs CA Osasuna

Sunday, September 28 – 9pm CEST – Estadio de La Cartuja

Cucho Hernández is in decent form for Betis with two goals in six LaLiga matches this season and the opener in last week’s 3–1 win over Real Sociedad. Osasuna arrive sturdy but limited going forward, and just leaked a late equaliser to Elche—conditions that suit Cucho’s penalty-box finishing.

Valencia CF vs Real Oviedo

Monday, September 29 – 9pm CEST – Estadio de Mestalla

Danjuma is in touch, scoring at Espanyol last week and earlier in the season against Getafe. With Valencia hosting a low-scoring Oviedo, his near-post runs and cutback finishes should translate into possession in goal-scoring positions. Danjuma can continue his recent form with another goal.
