Sunday's La Liga predictions including Real Betis vs. Barcelona

Both Osasuna and Getafe will be bidding to bounce back from midweek Copa del Rey defeats when they lock horns in Spain's top flight on Sunday afternoon.

Osasuna are currently 12th in the La Liga table, boasting 22 points from their opening 19 matches, while Getafe are 10th, collecting four more points than their opponents in this clash.

We say: Osasuna 1-1 Getafe

Osasuna have won just three home league games this season, while Getafe have drawn five times on their travels. A case can be made for either team to triumph this weekend, but we believe that a close contest between two well-matched sides will end with the points being shared.

Real Madrid vs. Almeria (Sunday, 3.15pm)

Bidding to bounce back from just their second defeat in all competitions this season, Real Madrid will resume their La Liga campaign with a contest against bottom-of-the-table Almeria on Sunday afternoon.

Los Blancos suffered a 4-2 loss to Atletico Madrid in the Copa del Rey on Thursday evening, while Almeria have not been in action since drawing 0-0 with La Liga leaders Girona last weekend.

We say: Real Madrid 2-0 Almeria

There has certainly been an improvement in Almeria's recent performances, and the return of Suarez in an attacking area will boost their survival hopes. Real Madrid have had a tiring start to 2024, and we are not expecting Ancelotti's side to be at their best here, but the hosts should have enough to get the job done.

Betis vs. Barcelona (Sunday, 5.30pm)

Arguably the pick of the action in La Liga's latest set of matches will come in Seville on Sunday evening, with Real Betis welcoming Barcelona for what is shaping up to be an intriguing contest.

Real Betis are currently seventh in the La Liga table, boasting 31 points from their opening 20 matches of the season, while Barcelona are fourth, eight points behind leaders Girona with a game in hand.

We say: Real Betis 1-1 Barcelona

Real Betis' absentees for this match meant that we were incredibly close to predicting a Barcelona win on Sunday. The Catalan outfit are also missing some key players, though, and we are finding it difficult to back them with any real confidence, ultimately settling on a low-scoring draw in Seville.

La Liga leaders Girona will be aiming to return to winning ways when they resume their league campaign with a home match against a struggling Sevilla outfit on Sunday night.

Girona were surprisingly held to a goalless draw by basement side Almeria last weekend, while Sevilla suffered a 3-2 home defeat to Alaves in their last match in Spain's top flight.

We say: Girona 2-1 Sevilla

Sevilla certainly have enough quality to pick up a positive result this weekend, but Girona will be determined to return to winning ways in Spain's top flight. We are expecting a close match in terms of the scoreline but are backing Girona to navigate their way to another three points.
