La Liga Matchday 37 betting preview, free picks & top odds

La Liga action returns this weekend after a series of midweek matches in the Spanish top division. Below are our free soccer betting predictions for all 10 games on Matchday 37 of La Liga.

Deportivo Alaves vs Getafe

Saturday, May 18 – 9pm CEST – Mendizorrotza Stadium

Winless in their last three, Getafe will be hoping to return to winning ways against Alaves, who are a point behind. The hosts head into the match with three wins from their last five. Given that six out of their last seven meetings have ended in draws, expect a similar outcome.

Athletic Bilbao vs Sevilla

Sunday, May 19 – 7pm CEST – Estadio de San Mames

Assured of European football next season, Athletic Bilbao play host to Sevilla, who sit 12th. However, Sevilla enjoy a better run of four wins from their last seven games, compared to just one win by the hosts over the same period. Anticipate a low-scoring encounter, which has been the case in their last six meetings.

Atletico Madrid vs Osasuna

Sunday, May 19 – 7pm CEST – Metropolitano Stadium

Hosts Atletico Madrid are enjoying a fine run of four consecutive wins compared to Osasuna, who are winless in their last six games. Online bookmakers are giving us great value for Diego Simeone’s men to dominate the entire game, having won 17 of their last 19 games against Osasuna.

Barcelona vs Rayo Vallecano

Sunday, May 19 – 7pm CEST – Estadio Olimpico de Montjuic

Back to second on the table after Thursday’s win over Almeria, Barcelona will aim to finish the season strongly by winning their two remaining games. Watch out for star striker Robert Lewandowski, who could extend his tally of 17 Liga goals this weekend.

Cadiz vs Las Palmas

Sunday, May 19 – 7pm CEST – Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla

Relegation-threatened Cadiz, with two consecutive wins, have a great chance of collecting three points this weekend. Although Las Palmas are six points above the danger zone, the visitors are winless in their last 12 games. Anticipate a Cadiz victory on home soil.

Granada vs Celta Vigo

Sunday, May 19 – 7pm CEST – Estadio Los Carmenes

With three wins from their last five games, Celta Vigo should secure maximum points against Granada. Having been relegated to the Segunda Division last Saturday, the hosts have nothing to play for.

Real Betis vs Real Sociedad

Sunday, May 19 – 7pm CEST – Estadio Benito Villamarin

Separated by a single point, both Real Betis and Real Sociedad are in pursuit of European football. However, don’t expect plenty of goals in this encounter, as witnessed in previous affairs.

Real Mallorca vs Almeria

Sunday, May 19 – 7pm CEST – Estadi Mallorca Son Moix

Sitting four points above the relegation zone, Real Mallorca have a great chance of drawing further away from the danger zone. Mallorca should collect at least a point against already-relegated Almeria.

Valencia vs Girona

Sunday, May 19 – 7pm CEST – Mestalla Stadium

Assured of Champions League qualification, Girona will be hoping to bounce back following Tuesday’s 1-0 defeat to Villarreal. One of the standout performers of the season, Girona striker Artem Dovbyk — who is on course to secure the Golden Boot — has a great chance of getting on the scoresheet against Valencia.

Villarreal vs Real Madrid

Sunday, May 19 – 7pm CEST – Estadi de la Ceramica

On an impressive run of nine consecutive victories in La Liga, champions Real Madrid are set to have an entertaining bout with Villarreal, who have won six of their last nine matches. Despite the hosts’ form, they will crumble under the weight of the Spanish champions.
