La Liga Matchday 19 Odds and Predictions
Getafe vs Real Sociedad
Getafe and Real Sociedad face each other in the next La Liga matchday on 09 January 2026. This Spanish football game will be held at Coliseum Stadium at 03:00 p.m. ET.
Standings
Getafe ranks in 10th place in the current league standings.
Real Sociedad ranks in 15th place in the La Liga standings.
Prediction
Getafe appears to be a solid team against Real Sociedad, despite being in below-average form. Their 6-3-9 record is significantly better than Real Sociedad’s poor league performance. Getafe had won only in one of their last five games. But their defense looks fragile, given their -9 goal differential, which is worse than Real Sociedad’s. From Real Sociedad’s profile, we know they are desperate for a win after a long spell without one. However, looking at the most recent matches, it is clear that Real Sociedad’s form is improving. They recently drew with Atletico Madrid, which is impressive. Their last two matches were draws, while Getafe’s last two games were inconsistent. Although Getafe has home-field advantage, Real Sociedad has shown strong signs of hope. Therefore, despite a close contest, Real Sociedad is predicted to win in this La Liga game.
Real Oviedo vs Real Betis
Real Oviedo and Real Betis are clashing with each other in the upcoming La Liga game on 10 January 2026. Carlos Tartiere Stadium hosts this game at 08:00 a.m. ET.
Standings
Real Oviedo is at the 6th rank this season.
Real Betis is ranked in 20th spot in the current La Liga standings.
Prediction
Real Oviedo is clearly having difficulties in maintaining consistency. They are currently having the worst phase in the entire league this season. Real Oviedo has won only twice, and most of their games have been losses. Mainly, they have the poorest scoring and defensive sides. They lost without even scoring goals in several matches, showing their absolute inadequacy. Given their poorest league record and current form, they won’t likely make it this time against Real Betis. But Real Betis genuinely shows a strong winning factor in the upcoming game. They have won 7 games, drawn 7, and lost 4. This better record of Real Betis shows how strong they are against Real Oviedo. Their strengths include good ball movement and coordination. They tend to pressure early in the game, which will clearly suffocate Real Oviedo. Hence, Real Betis is the pick.
Villarreal vs Alaves
Villarreal and Alaves will face each other in the upcoming La Liga game on 10 January 2026. This game will start at 10:15 a.m. ET at the Estadio de la Cerámica.
Standings
Villarreal has secured a 3rd rank in the Serie A standings.
Alaves is ranked 13th in the current league standings.
Prediction
Villarreal makes a way better entry into this game with their above-average form. They have won four of their last five games, one of the most consistent runs of the season so far. Villarreal also has the league’s third-best defense, having allowed only 16 goals while scoring 34. Regarding attacks, they launch sharp executions and create excellent chances. They are also more aggressive near their opponents’ goal line. In contrast, Alaves is in average form and is seeking an opportunity to win after three winless games. They are not as strong as Villarreal and are more skeptical about their away game. Alaves is also not a big scoring team compared to the Giants, like Villarreal. So, there will be fewer chances for Alaves to execute. Yet, Villareal will dominate in possessions and shots made. Therefore, Villarreal is predicted to win in this La Liga game.
Levante vs Espanyol
Espanyol clashes with Levante on the road at the Estadio Ciudad de Valencia on 11 January 2026. This La Liga game is set to begin at 10:15 a.m. ET.
Standings
Espanyol is in 5th place in the current standings.
Levante is at risk of relegation, ranking 19th in the Serie A standings.
Prediction
Levante is fighting hard to escape the relegation zone despite a poor record. With merely three wins and ten losses, Levante is severely inconsistent. But still, their scoring ability will do wonders under the right circumstances. The only factor that hinders them is their poor defense. They have a -9 goal differential. This may not allow them to block Espanyol’s strong attacks. They will concede at least two goals in this match. Espanyol enters confidently against Levante, despite playing on the road. They have secured 33 points over 18 matches, having an above-average record of 10-3-5. They are also more consistent and solid on both offense and defense. With a positive goal differential, Espanyol is more solid in the game. Seeing both sides, it is apparent that Espanyol has the advantage. So, Espanyol is the favorite to win.
Sevilla vs Celta Vigo
Sevilla plays at its home venue, the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium, against Celta Vigo on 12 January 2026. This game will kick off at 03:00 p.m. ET.
Standings
Sevilla is in 11th spot in the standings.
Celta Vigo ranks in 7th position in the current season standings.
Prediction
Sevilla has won the same number of games as Celta Vigo, but they have lost more. Meanwhile, Celta Vigo has won six games and drawn eight games, indicating their ability to draw. They have won three times in their previous five games, while Sevilla has won only once in the same span. The difference in their technical capabilities is so stark, and it concerns Sevilla greatly. While they both have a similar scoring efficiency, Sevilla takes a step back in defense. They have a negative goal differential, highlighting an opportunity for Celta Vigo’s scoring. Claudio Giráldez’s men will score easily against Sevilla’s depleted defense. Additionally, Celta Vigo has a reasonable away record, which gives them an edge. Therefore, Celta Vigo will win in this La Liga game.
