Last Season overview
In a total of 380 matches. One team proved that they are still better. Barcelona it is. 28th championship for Barcelona. Isn’t that a flex? I would call it a flex. In the entire 380 matches, one MVP was highlighted; Raphinha was considered the MVP player for the La Liga 2024-25 season. Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atlético Madrid, Athletic Bilbao, and Villarreal were the teams that are funnelled towards Champions League Qualification. Barcelona also achieved a historic feat by winning all 4 El Clásico matches. Which was against Real Madrid in just one season.
Along with this, Kylian Mbappé, in his debut season with Real Madrid, won the Pichichi award for being the top goal scorer with 31 goals. However, Real Madrid finished the season trophyless. This performance is flawless and was done perfectly. Last season was really something else. This season is either going to be a banger or some blank gameplay that makes us sleep. Teams are not just playing anymore. They are dominating to the core at this point. See more about football and football predictions at betting premier.com

Predictions:

Predictions:
Getafe often struggles with holding possession of the ball throughout the game. And their attacking style was very much easier to read from the opponent’s side. Also, they struggle to defend against longer shots. And also struggles with the goals that were secured by the challenging key players. The other side goes up with the strengths of having a greater short passing technique and plays right from the middle. And slowly giving pressure shows that the tactical gameplay will surely let the Celta de Vigo win this match.

Scoring a goal and defending for the rest of the match, and not letting the opponent score, is the strength of Athletic Club. Sevilla FC has won 7 matches more than Athletic against Athletic, too. Yet their performance says something else. And it’s falling behind
Predictions:
This shows that the Athletic club has the more chances of securing a victory. In most cases if somehow Sevilla could score more than 1 goal then it will turn as a huge competitive situation for the Athletic club as well. With this the Athletic Club has the most favour to win this match.
