Sunday's La Liga predictions including Villarreal vs. Barcelona

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


Getafe vs. Leganes (Sunday, 1.00pm)

Getafe's search for their first La Liga victory of the 2024-25 campaign will continue on Sunday afternoon, when they welcome Leganes to Estadio Coliseum.

The home side are 18th in the table, boasting just three points from their first five matches of the new season, while Leganes are 15th, having collected five points from their opening six games.

We say: Getafe 1-1 Leganes


Getafe have been the draw specialists in the early stages of the new La Liga campaign, while Leganes have picked up points in three of their six matches. Getafe will be the favourites on home soil, but we are expecting the points to be shared in Sunday's showdown.

Athletic Bilbao vs. Celta Vigo (Sunday, 3.15pm)

Athletic Bilbao will be aiming to make it three straight La Liga victories when they welcome Celta Vigo to San Mames on Sunday afternoon.

The Lions are currently fifth in the table, picking up 10 points from their opening six matches of the campaign, while a strong start has seen Celta collect nine points to sit sixth in the division.

We say: Athletic Bilbao 2-1 Celta Vigo


Celta have been excellent at home this season, but they have lost their two on their travels. Athletic have only actually won one of their three fixtures at San Mames this term, but we are expecting the Basque outfit to collect all three points this weekend.

Villarreal vs. Barcelona (Sunday, 5.30pm)

The pick of the fixtures in the sixth game week of the 2024-25 La Liga campaign will take place at Estadio de la Ceramica on Sunday night, with Villarreal welcoming Barcelona.

The visitors are currently top of the table, posting five wins from their opening five matches, while Villarreal have also had a strong start to the campaign, sitting fourth in the division on 11 points.

We say: Villarreal 1-1 Barcelona


Barcelona will be missing a whole host of important players for this match, and they will be coming up against a strong and talented Villarreal outfit. It would not be a surprise to see a narrow away win here, but we just have a feeling that Villarreal will be able to hold Flick's side to a low-scoring draw.

Atletico Madrid will be aiming to make it four straight wins in all competitions when they continue their La Liga campaign with a clash against Rayo Vallecano at Campo de Futbol de Vallecas on Sunday night.

Diego Simeone's side are second in the table, four points behind the leaders Barcelona, while Rayo occupy ninth position, picking up seven points from their opening five games of the season.

We say: Rayo Vallecano 1-2 Atletico Madrid


Atletico have so much quality all across the pitch, and with Simeone having the luxury of freshening his side this weekend, we are not expecting a European hangover. Rayo have enough about them to score, but we are backing the visitors to navigate their way to all three points on Sunday night.
