Sunday's La Liga predictions including Barcelona vs. Leganes

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


Atletico vs. Getafe (Sunday, 1.00pm)

Atletico Madrid will be bidding to continue their extraordinary winning run when they welcome an in-form Getafe to Wanda Metropolitano for a La Liga contest on Sunday afternoon.

Diego Simeone's side have been victorious in each of their last 10 matches, including their last five in the league, while Getafe are also in excellent form, winning four of their last five games across two competitions.

We say: Atletico Madrid 1-0 Getafe


Getafe have not beaten Atletico in La Liga since November 2011, which is an indication of the size of their task here; two of their last three meetings have actually finished level, including a 3-3 at Wanda Metropolitano last term, but we are backing Simeone's side to navigate their way to all three points on Sunday afternoon.

Alaves vs. Athletic Bilbao (Sunday, 3.15pm)

Athletic Bilbao will be aiming to make it seven straight wins in all competitions when they continue their La Liga campaign with a clash against Basque rivals Alaves on Sunday afternoon.

Ernesto Valverde's side are currently fourth in the La Liga table only six points behind division leaders Barcelona, while Alaves occupy 16th, having picked up 15 points from their opening 16 matches of the season.

We say: Alaves 0-1 Athletic Bilbao


Alaves will be the fresher of the two teams, and they do not concede many at home, shipping only eight in their seven La Liga fixtures this term; Athletic have travelled back from Turkey for this one, so preparations will be difficult, but we are still expecting Valverde's side to put another victory on the board.

Villarreal vs. Betis (Sunday, 5.30pm)

Villarreal will be aiming to bounce back from successive defeats when they continue their La Liga campaign with a clash against Real Betis at Estadio de la Ceramica on Sunday evening.

The Yellow Submarine are currently fifth in the La Liga table, six points behind fourth-placed Athletic Bilbao with two games in hand, while Real Betis have dropped to 11th due to their inconsistent form.

We say: Villarreal 2-1 Real Betis


Villarreal have just had a little wobble, and it would be fair to say that their best football this season has come on their travels; Real Betis have only won one of their eight league matches away from their own stadium this term, though, and we are expecting Villarreal to shade a close match on Sunday evening.

Real Sociedad vs. Las Palmas (Sunday, 5.30pm)

Looking to extend their winning run across all competitions to six matches, an in-form Real Sociedad outfit will welcome Las Palmas to Reale Arena for a La Liga contest on Sunday afternoon.

Erreala come into this clash following a successful night on the continental stage earlier in the week, whilst Los Amarillos have been afforded a week to reflect on domestic victory last time out.

We say: Real Sociedad 2-1 Las Palmas


Winning each of their last five matches by an aggregate scoreline of 11-0, Real Sociedad are undoubtedly the favourites for success on Sunday evening.

Las Palmas could set their longest winning run of the term with three points at Reale Arena, although we feel that Los Amarillos will fall short amid a number of key suspensions and injuries.

Barcelona vs. Leganes (Sunday, 8.00pm)

Barcelona will be aiming to return to winning ways in Spain's top flight when they continue their campaign with a contest against Leganes at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys on Sunday night.

Hansi Flick's side are currently top of the La Liga table, two points clear of second-placed Real Madrid, while Leganes are down in 17th, having picked up 15 points from their opening 16 matches of the campaign.

We say: Barcelona 3-1 Leganes


There will be no Flick on the touchline for Barcelona, with the manager serving a suspension due to his red card against Real Betis last weekend. Leganes are capable of making this a tricky encounter for the Catalan giants, but we are struggling to see anything other than a routine home victory for the team at the top of the division.
