Sunday's La Liga predictions including Barcelona vs. Atletico Madrid

Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for all of today's La Liga fixtures, including Barcelona vs. Atletico Madrid.


Mallorca vs. Alaves (Sunday, 1.00pm)

Alaves will be aiming to make it back-to-back La Liga wins for the first time this season when they travel to Estadi Mallorca Son Moix on Sunday afternoon to tackle Mallorca.

The visitors are currently 13th in Spain's top flight, picking up 15 points from their opening 14 matches of the season, while Mallorca are 17th, collecting only 10 points from their first 14 games.

We say: Mallorca 1-1 Alaves


Mallorca have drawn half of their 14 league matches this season, and we are expecting another stalemate here. Alaves will fancy their chances of claiming all three points considering their recent form, but Mallorca should be good enough for a share of the spoils on Sunday afternoon.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Almeria vs. Betis (Sunday, 3.15pm)

Almeria's search for their first La Liga victory of the 2023-24 campaign will continue on Sunday afternoon when they welcome Real Betis to Power Horse Stadium.

La Union are rock bottom of the table on three points, while Real Betis are up in seventh, just one point behind fifth-placed Athletic Bilbao ahead of the next set of fixtures in Spain's top flight.

We say: Almeria 1-2 Real Betis


Off the back of a tough European assignment, this has the potential to be a tricky match for Real Betis, and we are expecting it to be a close contest. Almeria have enough attacking quality to score, but we believe that the away side's additional quality will allow them to secure an important three points.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Sevilla vs. Villarreal (Sunday, 5.30pm)

Villarreal will be bidding to make it four straight wins in all competitions when they continue their La Liga campaign away to Sevilla on Sunday night.

Both of these sides have underperformed in Spain's top flight during the 2023-24 campaign, with Villarreal in 12th position in the table, while Sevilla are down in 15th.

We say: Sevilla 1-1 Villarreal


This is a really difficult match to call, especially as both sides will enter it off the back of European assignments. Neither team have particularly impressed in the league this season, and with both missing some important players, we can see the points being shared in a low-scoring draw.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Barcelona vs. Atletico (Sunday, 8.00pm)

One of the biggest fixtures on the football calendar in Spain will take place at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys on Sunday evening, with La Liga champions Barcelona welcoming Atletico Madrid.

Both sides are on 31 points in the table, with Barcelona in fourth and Atletico third, while the capital outfit also have a game in hand on 18 of the other 19 teams in the division.

We say: Barcelona 1-1 Atletico Madrid


This has all of the makings of a fascinating match, and we are expecting a close game on Sunday. There has not actually been a league draw between these two sides since May 2021, but we are finding it difficult to separate them and have therefore had to settle on a 1-1 here.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.
