Barca beat Sevilla with a 3-point difference; Raphinha scored a hat-trick. Sevilla were completely hopeless in the game and fell short by three goals. Barcelona&#8217;s 4-3-3 formation allowed them to create chances more often, and they kept their midfield actively aggressive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, Real Madrid won against Elche with a dominant 4-1 scoreline. Although Elche was a newly promoted team, they had good playmaking. Their possession was superior to Real Madrid. But still, Real Madrid executed their chances perfectly and scored four goals to Elche&#8217;s 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-real-betis-saves-its-position\">Real Betis Saves Its Position<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Celta Vigo was three points away from dethroning Real Betis and continues to do so after a draw with them. In the previous game, Celta Vigo scored in the 4th minute due to quick action from Ferran Jutgl\u00e0. Conversely, Real Betis struggled to score a goal, and they almost thought they had lost the position. But H\u00e9ctor Beller\u00edn scored in the 49th minute and equalized. Although Real Betis had most of the control on the ground, they somehow struggled to outscore Celta Vigo. Finally, the game was tied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-la-liga-matchday-29-schedule\">La Liga Matchday 29 Schedule<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"

Their sharp strikers, like Lewandowski, make up for an exploding offense. Their defense is also solid, instantly retaliating and conceding rarely. Consequently, Rayo Vallecano will struggle to score against them. This, in turn, will result in Barcelona scoring more than the visitors. On the other hand, Rayo Vallecano is ranked 13th in the La Liga standings. They will often score a single goal or two, but outscoring Barcelona still remains uncertain. So, Barcelona gets the edge to win in this La Liga game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>The Pick:<\/em><\/strong><em> Barcelona.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-celta-vigo-vs-alaves-predictions\">Celta Vigo vs Alaves Predictions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Time:<\/strong> 11:15 AM ET | 08:15 AM PT | 08:45 PM IST<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 22 March 2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-expected-lineups-for-celta-vigo-3-4-3\">Expected Lineups for Celta Vigo (3-4-3)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Position<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Players<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Goalkeeper<\/td><td>Andrei Ionu\u021b Radu<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Defense<\/td><td>Carl Starfelt, \u00d3scar Mingueza, Hugo \u00c1lvarez<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Midfield<\/td><td>Marcos Alonso, Fer L\u00f3pez, Borja Iglesias, Hugo Sotelo<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Attack<\/td><td>N\u00fa\u00f1ez, Pablo Dur\u00e1n, Sergio Carreira<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-expected-lineups-for-deportivo-alaves-3-5-2\">Expected Lineups for Deportivo Alav\u00e9s (3-5-2)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Position<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Players<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Goalkeeper<\/td><td>Antonio Sivera<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Defense<\/td><td>Tenaglia, Boy\u00e9, Ib\u00e1\u00f1ez<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Midfield<\/td><td>Nahuel Tenaglia, Antonio Blanco, Toni Mart\u00ednez, Carles Ale\u00f1\u00e1, V\u00edctor Parada<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Attack<\/td><td>Jonny Otto, Ville Koski<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-celta-vigo-vs-alaves-preview\">Celta Vigo vs Alaves Preview<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Celta Vigo has been strong in their home matches lately, with six wins from nine at Bala\u00eddos Stadium.

However, Alaves&#8217;s attack might score a couple of goals if they breach Celta Vigo&#8217;s strong defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>The Pick:<\/em><\/strong><em> Celta Vigo. <\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-athletic-vs-real-betis-predictions\">Athletic vs Real Betis Predictions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Time:<\/strong> 01:30 PM ET | 10:30 AM PT | 11:00 PM IST<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 22 March 2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-expected-lineups-for-athletic-club-4-2-3-1\">Expected Lineups for Athletic Club (4-2-3-1)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Position<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Players<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Goalkeeper<\/td><td>Unai Sim\u00f3n<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Defense<\/td><td>Andoni Gorosabel, Dani Vivian, Aymeric Laporte, Yuri Berchiche<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Defensive Midfield<\/td><td>I\u00f1igo Ruiz de Galarreta, Mikel Jauregizar<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Attacking Midfield<\/td><td>\u00c1lex Berenguer, Oihan Sancet, Robert Navarro<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Attack<\/td><td>Nico Williams<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-expected-lineups-for-real-betis-4-3-3\">Expected Lineups for Real Betis (4-3-3)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Position<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Players<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Goalkeeper<\/td><td>\u00c1lvaro Vall\u00e9s<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Defense<\/td><td>H\u00e9ctor Beller\u00edn, Marc Bartra, Natan, Firpo<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Midfield<\/td><td>Aitor Ruibal, Pablo Fornals, Marc Roca<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Attack<\/td><td>Juanmi Hern\u00e1ndez, Abde Ezzalzouli, \u00c1lvaro Fidalgo<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-athletic-club-vs-real-betis-preview\">Athletic Club vs Real Betis Preview<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Athletic Club has lost its previous season&#8217;s form. Currently ranked in the 10th spot, Athletic Club&#8217;s form stays average in the league. They have lost more games, causing a significant points deficit in the table. In terms of defense, Athletic Club is somewhat strong and has good quality. It may restrict Real Betis&#8217;s form, but Athletic Club&#8217;s scoring front looks fragile. Their weak attack, compared to Real Betis&#8217;s better defense, won\u2019t score enough to beat Real Betis.
