Before that, they went goalless against Real Madrid. Speaking about their form, they have not had any recent wins in La Liga this season. This is a major setback for the team, given their next home match. However, their upcoming home game gives them an edge. Although they have never won, the team can draw matches.

Levante UD

Levante UD is in a very tough time now. They have won only two games so far this season. Besides all their defeats, Levante has a decent scoring ability. Players like Etta Eyong, Carlos Alvarez, and Roger Brugue back the team offensively. However, their away form is a concern given their poor performance.

RC Celta de Vigo

Celta Vigo is in the middle of the table with a below-average record. They won only two league games. However, they drew seven games, which is the most a team has drawn this season to date. They can tie up if they can’t dominate or outperform, regardless of the venue. Playing on the road against the Alaves, they have the potential to sustain.

Prediction

Barcelona vs Athletic Club

FC Barcelona hosts the upcoming La Liga game on November 22, 2025. The game will start at Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium at 10:15 a.m. ET.

FC Barcelona

Barcelona is the second-best team this season with nine wins, one draw, and two losses. They consistently maintain good form, usually winning. Currently, they are on a three-game winning streak. The team’s main strength is its young and potent squad. Lamine Yamal’s explosive scoring spree always supports the team. He has a good scoring efficiency. Additionally, players like Raphina and Pedri have contributed much to the team’s consistency. However, they tend to concede more often than other elite teams. Although this is a drawback, they get a home advantage this time. At Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium, they have a good form. This gives them a tactical edge in this game.

Athletic Club

In the current season, they have picked up most of their points at home. The team has a solid defense at home. They concede fewer goals at home than they do on the road. Forward Rubén García is the team’s strength with ten goals over twelve games. With an average goals-per-game rating, Osasuna arrives with a good form to sustain Real Sociedad’s pressure.

Real Sociedad

Moreover, their away form is consistently balanced despite their defeats. Currently, they have a fairly average chance to upset the hosts.

They have maintained an unbeaten streak over the last three games. Villarreal has an average of 2 goals per game, which is solid enough to contain and outscore Mallorca at home.

RCD Mallorca

RCD Mallorca is inferior to Villarreal in terms of quality and depth. Their 15^th league position reflects their inconsistency and below-average performance. They lost more games than they won and tied. Both in terms of offense and defense, Villarreal is better than Mallorca.

Real Oviedo

Real Oviedo has one of the worst league forms in the current season. They managed to win only in one game overall this season. Oviedo has barely won their home games. They reached La Liga after 24 years in the Segunda Division and narrowly avoided relegation. But this time, they are again in the relegation zone. Their likelihoods are really low this time. They get the home advantage, but that will not affect their performance. With the last rank in the standings, Real Oviedo will struggle this time.

Rayo Vallecano

Real Betis have 2.1 goals on average from their last ten games across all formats. Regarding defense, they tend to concede fewer goals at home than on the road. Although they have occasional errors, their home advantage is a big factor in the game against Girona. In addition, Real Betis’s squad has a diverse set of individuals with a good scoring potential. Their compact formation allows them to keep their defense tight while scoring relentlessly.

Girona FC

Girona FC is also an aggressive squad that has a proactive approach. Their 4-2-3-1 formation allows them to be flexible and creates opportunities through width and precise passing. They finished third in the previous season. However, now they are struggling to top the table even after 12 games. Their current form is not adequate to win over Real Betis at home. They have won only in two games despite their good performances.

Prediction

Real Betis will sustain its position by securing another win in this La Liga game.

Getafe vs Atletico Madrid

Getafe CF and Atlético de Madrid will clash in the upcoming La Liga matchday 13. This game occurs at Coliseum Stadium on November 23, 2025, at 12:30 p.m. ET.

Getafe CF

Getafe has been impressive this season. Their performance will likely enable them to withstand Atletico Madrid’s pressure. They have scored 12 goals overall in the league, averaging 1 goal per game. However, this is not enough to face the league’s 4th-best Atletico Madrid. Compared to Atletico Madrid, Getafe is in underwhelming form.

Atletico Madrid

Atletico Madrid has a better league run with twenty-five points in the table. Having seven wins, four draws, and only one loss, Atletico Madrid boasts its elite form. Their scoring average is double that of Getafe’s, as they have two goals per game on average. Mainly, they have a good away form, having upset the hosts numerous times. So, they have a higher winning probability.

Prediction

Atletico Madrid will win in this La Liga game.

Elche vs Real Madrid

Elche CF

Elche has a surprisingly strong start to the season. They have a decent number of wins, draws, and defeats. Elche went unbeatable for a while. Their recent form is, however, solid. They carry the 4-1-4-1 formation to press highly. The team also has tactical flexibility, allowing them to alternate between a back-four and a back-five. Playing at home, they gain some tactical advantage.

Real Madrid CF

Real Madrid is the leading team currently. Their excellent league run has cemented them as an elite team. Having players like Kylian Mbappe, Jude Bellingham, and Vinícius Júnior, Real Madrid boasts an excellent roster. Especially, Mbappe’s scoring ability is exceptional. Technically, they have a strong defense and offense. With 31 points in the table, Real Madrid is ruling the La Liga table. Playing on the road this time, Real Madrid may have to try harder to outscore Elche.

Prediction

Real Madrid will wear down Elche CF in this La Liga game.  

Espanyol vs Sevilla

RCD Espanyol de Barcelona hosts the upcoming Matchday 13 game, welcoming Sevilla FC. This game will start at 03:00 p.m. ET on November 24, 2025, at RCDE Stadium.

Espanyol de Madrid

RCD Espanyol’s current form is good with a 5-3-4 record. Their formations vary between 4-2-3-1 and 4-3-3. They have scored 18 points in this league and sit in 6th position. Having players like Pere Milla and Roberto Fernández further strengthens the team. Now they arrive with home-venue advantage.

Sevilla FC

Prediction

This game will be a tight contest given both sides’ similar quality. But Espanyol’s home advantage makes them the favorite in this La Liga game.
