Predictions for the La Liga Matchday 34:

1) Deportivo Alavés vs. Atlético Madrid

Atletico Madrid will face off the Alaves team for the Matchday 34 of the 2024-25 La Liga Showdown. This matchup is scheduled to take place at the Mendizorroza Stadium on May 03, 2025.

Previous Head-to-Head:

The last time Deportivo Alaves and Atletico Madrid met, the matchup ended in a 2-1 home victory for Atletico Madrid. In that battle, Atletico Madrid dominated possession with approximately 71%, and eight of their eleven shots were on target. Alaves, on the other hand, controlled the remaining 29% of possession, which was quite low, and only one of their four shots was on target. Antoine Griezmann and Alexander Sørloth scored for Atletico Madrid, while Jon Guridi netted the lone goal for Alaves

Predictions:

Deportivo Alaves heads into this battle with a home-field advantage, having defeated Sociedad at Mendizorroza Stadium in their recent matchup with a 1-0 score. The Alaves side has not had a particularly safe run throughout the 2024-25 La Liga season. The team is sitting just at 17th place in the La Liga standings, which does not look very promising. Therefore, in this battle, despite their home-field advantage, the team will need to exert high-pressure gameplay against opponents like Atletico Madrid.

Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid heads into this battle following a stunning 3-0 win over Rayo Vallecano. In that matchup, Alexander Sørloth, Conor Gallagher, and Julian Alvarez each netted one goal for the Madrid side. Unlike Alaves, Atletico Madrid has had an impressive run throughout the season, currently sitting in third place in the La Liga standings. They have a much better offense and defensive actions on both ends of the field. Therefore, the Atletico Madrid team is likely to defeat the unsteady Alaves and secure a victory.

2) Villarreal vs. Osasuna

The Villarreal and the Osasuna teams will battle with each other on the matchday 34 of the 2024-25 La Liga Showdown. This matchup will occur at the El Madrigal, Villarreal, Spain on May 03, 2025 (Saturday).

Previous Head-to-Head:

The last battle between Villarreal and Osasuna ended in a 2-2 draw at El Sadar Stadium in Pamplona. In that match, Ante Budimir scored both goals for Osasuna, while Alex Baena and Gerard Moreno each netted one for Villarreal. Villarreal dominated possession with around 60%, and seven of their 16 shots were on target

Predictions:

Currently, the Villarreal team is in fifth position in the La Liga standings with 55 points, while the Osasuna team is in eighth position with 44 points. Check out the 2024-25 La Liga standings here to stay updated on the current rankings of your favorite team. Both teams occupy decent positions this season and are likely to put up a strong performance in this battle. The recent form of Osasuna looks promising, as they have won each of their last three games and remain unbeaten in their last five clashes. While their offensive play is solid, they could improve their defense when facing dominant teams, doing so could help Osasuna in upcoming matches.

Villarreal, on the other hand, is heading into this battle following a 1-0 win against Espanyol. In that matchup, Yeremy Pino scored the lone goal for Villarreal. Since the start of the season, Villarreal has maintained a strong run on both ends of the field. They have balanced their gameplay well, which is likely to continue in this battle. Therefore, this matchup between Villarreal and Osasuna is expected to showcase strong performances from both teams, with Villarreal leveraging their home-field advantage to secure a victory.

3) Real Valladolid vs. Barcelona

The Real Valladolid team will take on the Barcelona side for the Matchday 34 of the La Liga Showdown. This highly anticipated showdown will take place on José Zorrilla Stadium on May 03, 2025.

Previous Head-to-Head:

The last time Barcelona and Real Valladolid met, Barcelona secured a dominant 7-0 victory. In that clash, Barcelona showcased exceptional offensive and defensive play. Raphinha scored a hat trick, thrilling fans with his performance. Valladolid struggled, maintaining only 30% possession, with just one of their four shots on target.

Predictions:

The Barcelona team has maintained an impressive record from the start of the season and currently tops the La Liga standings with 76 points. With key players in the squad, Hansi Flick’s men are excelling on both ends of the field. Barcelona’s recent form also looks outstanding, as they have won four of their last five La Liga matchups. In each of those games, they have displayed strong offensive performances, even in away matches, which they are expected to replicate in this battle against Real Valladolid.

Meanwhile, Real Valladolid enters this battle following a disappointing 5-1 loss to Real Betis. In that clash, Chuki netted the lone goal for Valladolid. They are enduring a difficult season, currently sitting at the bottom of the La Liga standings. Across 33 matchups, they have managed only four wins while suffering nearly 25 losses. Given their struggles, Valladolid stands little chance of continuing in the La Liga showdown. Therefore, in this battle, Barcelona is the clear favorite and is expected to deliver yet another stunning performance.

4) Real Madrid vs. Celta Vigo

The Matchday 34 of the 2024-25 La Liga Showdown will feature a battle between the Real Madrid and the Celta Vigo teams. This matchup will take place on May 04, 2025 at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.

Previous Head-to-Head:

The Real Madrid and the Celta Vigo teams ended their last battle with a 5-2 win for the Read Madrid team. In that matchup, the Real Madrid team maintained about 59% possessions and eleven of their 23 shots entered the target. The Celta Vigo, on the flip side, secured the remaining ball possessions and four of their 12 shots entered the target.

Predictions:

Real Madrid heads into this matchup in strong form, sitting second in the La Liga standings with 72 points. They have won four of their last five league matches, showcasing dominance at home with 13 wins in 16 home games this season. Historically, they have been superior against Celta Vigo, winning five of their last five encounters.

Celta Vigo, meanwhile, is positioned seventh in the standings with 46 points. Their recent form has been mixed, with two wins, two losses, and a draw in their last five matches. They have struggled in away games, managing only three wins in 16 away fixtures. Given Real Madrid’s home advantage and superior head-to-head record, they are expected to dominate possession and create multiple scoring opportunities. Celta Vigo may struggle defensively, especially against Madrid’s attacking firepower. Therefore, the Real Madrid team is likely to take the victory over the Celta Vigo team, securing about three or more goals.

5) Real Sociedad vs. Athletic Club

The Real Sociedad team will go head-to-head against the Athletic Club on the Matchday 34 of the 2024-25 La Liga Showdown. This showdown will occur on May 04, 2025 at the Anoeta Stadium.

Previous Head-to-Head:

In their last head-to-head clash, Athletic Club secured a 1-0 victory over Real Sociedad. Oihan Sancet netted the lone goal for Athletic Club, sealing the win. Despite the loss, Real Sociedad dominated possession with 61 percent but struggled to convert chances, with only one of their six shots hitting the target.

Predictions:

Athletic Club currently holds fourth place in the La Liga standings, while Real Sociedad sits at tenth with 42 points. Sociedad has struggled in recent matches, failing to secure a victory in their last three games, including a 1-0 loss to Alaves. Their defensive vulnerabilities often cause trouble against highly skilled teams, making consistency difficult. Meanwhile, Athletic Club enters this clash after a 1-0 victory over Las Palmas, showing solid form throughout the season. With their balanced squad and strong defensive structure, they are expected to dominate this matchup. Playing at San Mamés, Athletic Club is likely to capitalize on their home advantage, score at least two or three goals, and secure another convincing win.
