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

Previous Head-to-Head:

The previous head-to-head matches between Girona vs Rayo Vallecano ended with the victory of Rayo Vallecano with a 2-0 score.

Predictions:

With the previous head-to-head matches and the victory by Rayo says that this is the best chance for Rayo to make the momentum up. With a slight record domination by Rayo as 9-8.

Previous Head-to-Head:

The previous head-to-head matches between Mallorca vs Barcelona ended with the victory of Barcelona with a 1-0 score.

Predictions:

With the power and the efficiency of Barcelona, it’s really an easy match according to the numbers. Barcelona will only have to put in a minimal effort to score a goal. And for the rest of the match, the entire Barcelona could go for a complete defensive mode. For Mallorca, they really have a good defence, but against Barcelona, any kind of defence doesn’t really matter. If Mallorca finds a way to have a greater defence plan, this match could end in a tie. Until then, the prediction falls in favour of Barcelona.

Deportivo Alavés vs Levante UD

Previous Head-to-Head:

As the last match between Deportivo Alavés vs Levante UD ended in a tie, lets look at the numbers and performance. Deportivo Alavés have already defeated Levante UD with a score of 1-0. Showing better gameplay against them.

Predictions:

The previous matches of a tie and a single goal win tells that both teams are really competitive to each other, Also, Deportivo Alavés have some serious tactical flexibility. Strong set piece execution and ability to adapt. This all sums up to the conclusion that this will be an easier game. With this it’s really easier for Deportivo Alavés to secure a victory against Levante UD.

Valencia CF vs Real Sociedad

The Valencia CF team will face Real Sociedad on Matchday 1 of the 2025-26 La Liga Showdown, which will take place on August 16, 2025, at the Mestalla Stadium.

Predictions:

Valencia has a greater history and also known well for having a strong academic system. Also having a greater defensive solidity. Having 6 La Liga championship trophies tells that Valencia isn’t just a team of players. On the other hand, Real Sociedad having difficulties in finishing scoring chances. This match will be in highly favourable for the Valencia CF.

RC Celta de Vigo vs Getafe CF

The RC Celta de Vigo team will face Getafe CF on Matchday 1 of the 2025-26 La Liga, which will take place on August 17, 2025, at the Estadio de Balaídos.

Previous Head-to-Head:

The Celta de Vigo has won the last Head-to-head match with Getafe CF with a score of 2-1. Even though Getafe have a slight greater resume against Celta de Vigo as 10-9. In the recent days Celta have been outperforming the Getafe in both attack and defence.

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.

Athletic Club vs Sevilla FC

The Athletic Club team will face Sevilla FC on Matchday 1 of the 2025-26 La Liga, which will take place on August 17, 2025, at the Estadio de San Mamés.

Previous Head-to-Head:

In the previous head-to-head match, the athletic club has made a strong record of 0-1. 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.

RCD Espanyol de Barcelona vs Atlético de Madrid

The RCD Espanyol de Barcelon team will face Atlético de Madrid on Matchday 1 of the 2025-26 La Liga, which will take place on August 17, 2025, at the RCDE Stadium.

Predictions:

Atlético Madrid has greater Defensive Organization and Counter-Attacking, and with this, scoring is easier for them. Also, they have a greater Tactical Adaptability and Squad depth, but for Espanyol, they lack consistency and mental toughness, making them an easier target. This shows that Atlético de Madrid has the highest probability of securing a win.

Predictions:

Though they both have a greater chance of having a tie Real Betis having a tactical advantage. Thus, making the game turn towards them was easier for the Real Betis. With this there is a greater opportunity for the Real Betis to win this game and take over the Elche.

Predictions:

Real Madrid has some insane history. and a good record when it’s compared to other teams. also, they have some active young players. on the other hand, the Osasuna have some vulnerability in the counter-attacks making them weaker.
