Before you start betting on one of football’s hottest competitions—La Liga—you should check out our Spain league prediction. It’ll help you understand what might happen clearer so you can be ready to place bets on La Liga come next season.
La Liga is Spain’s top flight of football. It was founded in 1929, although it adopted the current name for sponsorship reasons in 1993. It’s a member of UEFA and features 20 teams who play against each other across 38 rounds in home and away matches.
The league-topping club wins the prestigious trophy. So far, Real Madrid have won La Liga a record 36 times. With our Spanish league predictions, it’ll be easier to predict who wins the next season, who goes down, and which teams will fight for the European spots.
Real Madrid is the most likely candidate for a new La Liga trophy. The Los Blancos hold the record for most trophies in La Liga and the Champions League as well. Led by Carlo Ancelotti, the team looks unbeatable despite not investing in football stars at the moment like it did in the past.
With Toni Kroos retired and Luka Modric on the way out, it will have to rely on the young team core to get the best results.
The quality is there, but we’ll see if Real’s young guns are ready for the challenge. The departure of the team’s core midfielders will definitely impact the odds, but Real Madrid is still the early favorite.
Barcelona will surely be lurking right behind. Even though Barca is going through years of financial turmoil, the team has managed to surprise everyone by winning the trophy two years ago.
No one knows if iconic ex-midfielder and Barca legend Xavi will still be at the helm. But, one thing’s for sure. Barcelona’s young players are eager for the challenge, and with new additions, it could prove a fruitful season for the Cules.
Our prediction – Real Madrid will win this season’s La Liga.
The top 4 is an interesting Spanish league predictions market. Our tips and predictions could prove useful to many bettors who are sure they can predict the top 4 teams to qualify for the Champions League. These are the spots from 1-4, and although they were held by the same teams in the past, things have changed.
Girona has become a formidable opponent and secured a spot in the CL last year. The team will be eager to show its strengths once again, just like Atletico Madrid, Athletic Club, Real Sociedad, and possibly Sevilla and Villareal. All these teams in addition to Barcelona and Real Madrid should aim to finish in the top 4 and secure a spot in the CL.
This is where things get tricky with our La Liga predictions. Besides the 4 CL teams, 2 others qualify for the Europa League. That’s the 5th spot in La Liga in addition to the Spanish Cup winner. The most likely teams to qualify for a season in Europe at spots 5 and 6 are Villareal, Sevilla, and Betis.
Our Spanish league prediction team believes that these teams have the best chances for the Europa League spots. Athletic Club will most likely fight Atletico Madrid for the 4th spot and the Champions League. It could be a heated battle that goes either way, which will definitely result in better odds at the bookies.
The relegation La Liga predictions can be tricky too. Cadiz, Granada, and Almeria were relegated to the Segunda Division last year. Valladolid, Leganes, and Eibar are the most likely candidates for the top two spots which secure a direct promotion to La Liga.
The newly promoted teams often have a hard time finding their feet in La Liga, so they are always among the heavy favorites to go down again. Additionally, Mallorca, Rayo Vallecano, and Las Palmas only narrowly escaped the relegation zone, so they will be among the teams with the highest chances for relegation.
The top scorer La Liga predictions are tricky until we see the summer transfers. Last year, Alexander Sorloth had a stellar campaign for Villareal, and so did Artem Dovbyk for Girona. They trailed Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham and Barca’s Robert Lewandowski close during the campaign, with Atletico’s Antoine Griezmann right behind.
Lewandowski should be a big favorite along with the other strikers. But, if you want our fair Spain league predictions for the top scorer, Real’s Jude Bellingham is the most likely winner.
