Predictions for La Liga Matchday 28
UD Las Palmas vs. Deportivo Alavés
The Las Palmas and Alaves team will square off on the Matchday 28 of the 2024-25 La Liga Showdown. In their prior meeting, the Alaves team used their home team advantage and won the battle with a 2-0 score against the Las Palmas. And now, it’s the Las Palmas turn. Let’s see whether the Las Palmas will use their home-field advantage or the Alaves will retake pride.
Match Details:
Date: March 14, 2025 (Friday)
Time: 04:00 PM EST | 08:00 PM GMT | 01: 30 AM IST (Next Day)
Venue: Gran Canaria, Las Palmas, Canary Islands, Spain.
Standings: Las Palmas – 19th position; Alaves – 18th position
Predictions:
Both Las Palmas and Alavés are in an unstable position in the La Liga standings. If they fail to improve their performance in the upcoming weeks, both teams will likely enter the relegation zones. Las Palmas is entering this clash without a win in their last ten games, having lost eight and drawn two. This current form reflects their instability on both sides of the field. Unless Las Palmas makes a decisive turnaround, they cannot secure a safe path and avoid the relegation zone. On the other hand, Alavés enters this clash with a 1-0 win against Villarreal, thanks to Manu Sánchez’s lone goal. Alavés appears to have similar talents to Las Palmas, but their offensive edge could help them avoid relegation. Therefore, this matchup will end in a 1-1 draw, with Alavés edging out Las Palmas.
Real Valladolid vs. Celta Vigo
Real Valladolid and Celta Vigo teams head-to-head on the Matchday 28 of the 2024-25 La Liga Showdown. When these two teams met each other last time, the matchup ended with a 3-1 win for Celta Vigo. Let’s see whether this matchup ends with the same pattern or delivers a different version.
Match Details:
Date: March 15, 2025 (Saturday)
Time: 09:00 AM EST | 01:00 PM GMT | 06: 30 PM IST
Venue: José Zorrilla, Valladolid, Spain.
Standings: Valladolid – 20th position; Celta Vigo – 9th position
Predictions:
The Valladolid team sits at the bottom of the La Liga standings with just 16 points. Valladolid has won only four of the 27 matches played so far, which is quite underwhelming. The team’s recent form indicates they must improve their skills on both ends of the field. They have been inconsistent in defense and offense, particularly struggling in their offensive play. Most of Valladolid’s matches have ended with them scoring only one or no goals. Therefore, they are expected to perform similarly in their upcoming matchup against Celta Vigo, who has shown better results on both sides of the field. Celta Vigo is currently in 9th position in the La Liga standings with 36 points. They enter this clash with a 2-1 victory over Leganés. Celta Vigo is well-positioned to prevent Valladolid from scoring in this match. If Valladolid does manage to score, Celta Vigo’s offense can step up and secure a victory.
Mallorca vs. Espanyol
The Mallorca and Espanyol teams are set to battle with each other on the Matchday 28 of the 2024-25 La Liga Showdown. Both teams enter this clash with a draw in their prior matchups. Let’s see whether this clash ends with a similar result or whether either team makes matters work.
Match Details:
Date: March 15, 2025 (Saturday)
Time: 11:15 AM EST | 03:15 PM GMT | 08: 45 PM IST
Venue: Estadi Mallorca Son Moix, Spain
Standings: Mallorca – 7th position; Espanyol – 15th position
Predictions:
Mallorca holds the seventh position in the La Liga standings with 37 points. They are coming into this clash following a 1-1 draw against Athletic Club, where Antonio José scored the sole goal for Mallorca. Mallorca had about 44% possession in that match, and two of their nine shots were on target. Their recent form has been puzzling, with four recent matches ending in 1-1 draws. It’s debatable whether this should be seen as a positive since they have managed to prevent their opponents from scoring more or as a concern, given Mallorca’s struggle to score more than one goal. The team must bolster their offensive efforts to score more in this matchup.
On the other hand, Espanyol enters this clash with a 1-1 draw against Girona, with Jofre Carreras netting the lone goal for Espanyol. Espanyol had only 33% possession in that match, and four of their seven shots were on target. Espanyol is currently in 15th position with 28 points and has won seven of the 26 games played. Their defense is solid, but they must put more effort into their offensive play. Even though their defense is strong, they are unlikely to stop Mallorca from scoring in this matchup. Mallorca will likely secure a victory in this clash with the home advantage on their side.
Villareal vs. Real Madrid
Matchday 28 of the 2024-25 La Liga Showdown will see a thrilling encounter between Villarreal and Real Madrid. Both teams are currently in the top five positions in the standings, making this clash highly anticipated. This matchup promises to be exciting right up to the final whistle as we await to see which team emerges victorious.
Match Details:
Date: March 15, 2025 (Saturday)
Time: 01:30 PM EST | 05:30 PM GMT | 11: 00 PM IST
Venue: El Madrigal, Villarreal, Spain.
Standings: Villarreal – 5th position; Real Madrid – 2nd position
Predictions:
The Villarreal team is heading to this clash with a home team advantage, and they have ended their recent matchup with a 1-0 loss against the Alaves team. So, the Villarreal team must try hard to settle things down in this matchup using their home team advantage. The Villarreal team owns one of the best defenses and promises to stop the opponent from scoring high in this matchup. Villarreal’s duty in this matchup is to raise their offensive form and try to score high to end this clash with a victory.
On the other hand, the Real Madrid team is nothing short of talents and skills. They currently stand in the top two positions with 57 points. The team relies well on both ends of the field, which is highly impressive. So, the team is expected to follow similar trends in this matchup. Therefore, the Real Madrid team will feature in a highly competitive game with the Villarreal side in this matchup.
Girona vs. Valencia
Valencia and Girona will face off on Matchday 28 of the 2024-25 La Liga Showdown. Valencia won the last time these two teams met, 2-0. This upcoming match will be a significant opportunity for Girona to leverage their home advantage, turn the tables, and secure a win.
Match Details:
Date: March 15, 2025 (Saturday)
Time: 04:00 PM EST | 08:00 PM GMT | 01: 30 AM IST (Next Day)
Venue: Montilivi, Girona, Catalonia, Spain.
Standings: Girona – 13th position; Valencia – 16th position
Predictions:
The Girona team enters this matchup with a 1-1 draw against Espanyol, where Cristhian Stuani netted the lone goal for Girona. The Girona team maintained about 67% possessions in that matchup, and four of their 18 shots entered the target. The recent form of the Girona team is not that steady, as they were fluctuating between wins and losses. They are heading to this clash without a win in their last five games. They have a defective defense that must be seen and corrected to improve their posture in the forthcoming weeks.
On the other hand, the Valencia team enters this clash with an impressive 2-1 win against Valladolid, in which Diego Lopez and Umar Sadiq netted each goal for the team. In that matchup, the Valencia team maintained about 62% possessions, and four of their 17 shots entered the target. Valencia is not in a safe position in this league, hanging in the 16th place in the La Liga Standings. Their unsteady form on either side results in such results. So the team can bounce back and put their utmost effort into ending the season in a better position. For this clash, the Girona team will likely use their home-team advantage to win the battle.
Leganés vs. Real Betis
Real Betis and Leganés clash on Matchday 27 of the 2024-25 La Liga Showdown. The two teams currently occupy different spots in the La Liga standings. It will be interesting to see if they perform according to their standings or if an unexpected outcome awaits.
Match Details:
Date: March 16, 2025 (Sunday)
Time: 09:00 AM EST | 01:00 PM GMT | 06: 30 PM IST
Venue: Estadio Municipal de Butarque
Standings: Leganes – 17th position; Real Betis – 6th position
Predictions:
In their previous encounter, Real Betis triumphed with a 2-0 victory over Leganés, with Abde Ezzalzouli and Vitor Roque each scoring a goal. Real Betis dominated that match with 64% possession and five of their 14 shots on target. Given their current form, Real Betis is expected to make similar efforts in this match, as they appear to be in better shape than Leganés.
Leganés, on the other hand, is entering this clash after a 2-1 loss to Celta Vigo. Leganés maintained 43% possession in that match and had six of their 12 shots on target. They have been alternating between wins and losses, and a solid defense could turn their fortunes around in future games. However, their defense has been their Achilles’ heel, causing them to lose most of their matches. Real Betis is a formidable opponent and often scores multiple goals in their games. Leganés will likely struggle to contain Real Betis in this matchup and prevent them from scoring.
Sevilla vs. Athletic Club
Matchday 28 of the 2024-25 La Liga Showdown will feature a battle between Sevilla and Athletic Club. The last time these two teams met, the Athletic Club ended the clash with a tremendous 2-5 win against the Sevilla team. That was a very intriguing clash up until the last minute. That raises the curiosity of this clash to resemble a similar result.
Match Details:
Date: March 16, 2025 (Sunday)
Time: 11:15 AM EST | 03:15 PM GMT | 08: 45 PM IST
Venue: Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán, Seville, Spain.
Standings: Sevilla – 10th position; Athletic Club – 4th position
Predictions:
Athletic Club returns to this clash after a 1-1 draw in their recent matchup against Mallorca, with Nico Williams scoring the lone goal. In that game, Athletic Club maintained around 56% possession and had two of their eight shots on target. Recently, Athletic Club has struggled to keep its focus, resulting in three consecutive matches without a victory. The team is expected to bounce back, especially given their previous dominance over Sevilla, which could help them turn things around in this matchup.
On the other hand, Sevilla enters this clash following a 1-0 win against Real Sociedad, with Chidera Ejuke scoring the decisive goal. Sevilla maintained about 38% possession in that match and had four of their nine shots on target. Sevilla’s last four matchups ended with just a single goal, indicating that their offensive unit still has room for improvement. However, their strong defense has allowed them to achieve decent results. Athletic Club will likely limit Sevilla’s scoring opportunities in this clash and secure a victory.
Osasuna vs. Getafe
Osasuna and Getafe will face off on Matchday 28 of the 2024-25 La Liga Showdown. Both teams have scored a good number of goals in recent matches. It will be interesting to see if they can maintain their scoring momentum in this clash or if their performance will take a downturn.
Match Details:
Date: March 16, 2025 (Sunday)
Time: 01:30 PM EST | 05:30 PM GMT | 11: 00 PM IST
Venue: El Sadar, Pamplona, Navarre, Spain.
Standings: Osasuna – 14th position; Getafe – 12th position
Predictions:
Getafe and Osasuna are positioned very close to each other in the La Liga standings, which suggests that their upcoming matchup will be highly competitive. Getafe is coming into this clash after a 2-1 victory over Atlético Madrid, with Mauro Arambarri scoring both goals. In that match, Getafe had about 38% possession, and three of their eleven shots were on target. While Getafe has been averaging on both sides of the field, their lack of consistency has led to many losses.
On the other hand, Osasuna enters this battle after an exciting 3-3 draw against Valencia, where Aimar Oroz scored two goals and Ante Budimir added one. Osasuna had around 51% possession in that match, and five of their eleven shots were on target. Osasuna has shown similar strengths and weaknesses to Getafe, making this clash likely to end in a draw.
Rayo Vallecano vs. Real Sociedad
Rayo Vallecano will welcome Real Sociedad on Matchday 28 of the 2024-25 La Liga Showdown. Both teams are coming into this match following defeats in their previous encounters. As a result, both Rayo Vallecano and Real Sociedad will be highly motivated to secure a victory in this battle. Let’s see which team emerges victorious.
Match Details:
Date: March 16, 2025 (Sunday)
Time: 01:30 PM EST | 05:30 PM GMT | 11: 00 PM IST
Venue: Estadio de Vallecas, Spain.
Standings: Rayo Vallecano – 8th position; Real Sociedad – 11th position
Predictions:
Real Sociedad enters this match after a 0-1 loss to Sevilla, in which they held around 62% possession and had two of their seven shots on target. Sociedad has been struggling lately, going winless in their last four games. They have failed to showcase their strengths on both offensive and defensive fronts. Their weak defense could allow Rayo Vallecano to score and win this game. In contrast, Rayo Vallecano’s recent form seems better than their opponents. Their defense is more vigorous, and with a slight improvement in their offense, they could score more and secure a victory in this match.
Atletico Madrid vs. Barcelona
Atlético Madrid will host Barcelona on Matchday 28 of the 2024-25 La Liga Showdown. The last encounter between these two teams in the Copa del Rey ended in a thrilling 4-4 draw.

Venue: Riyadh Air Metropolitano, Madrid, Spain.
Standings: Atletico Madrid – 3rd position; Barcelona – 1st position
Predictions:
Both teams enter this clash from strong positions in the La Liga standings, with Barcelona sitting at the top and Atlético Madrid in third place. As such, this highly competitive matchup promises to be thrilling until the very end. Atlético Madrid is coming into this clash after a disappointing 2-1 loss to Getafe, where Alexander Sørloth scored their lone goal. Despite a two-game losing streak, they still hold a strong record in the standings. Real Madrid is solid on offense and defense and is expected to make a significant turnaround in this matchup.
On the other hand, Barcelona enters this clash riding high after a 3-1 victory over Benfica in the Champions League. Barcelona has been dominating their opponents by boasting one of the best offensive and defensive records in the league. They are expected to score against Atlético Madrid. This clash is anticipated to be very exciting, with Atlético Madrid either leveraging their home advantage to win or the match ending in a draw.
