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

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


Celta Vigo vs. Girona (Sunday, 1.00pm)

La Liga leaders Girona will be bidding to bounce back from a disappointing defeat in the Copa del Rey when they resume their league campaign away to Celta Vigo on Sunday afternoon.

The visitors, who are having a remarkable season, are top of the division, one point ahead of second-placed Real Madrid, while Celta sit 16th, only two points ahead of the relegation zone.

We say: Celta Vigo 1-2 Girona


Girona's form in La Liga this season has been so strong that it is really difficult to back against them here, especially considering their record on the road and Celta's struggles at home. We are expecting a tight game in terms of the scoreline, but Girona should have enough quality to secure all three points.

Cadiz vs. Athletic Bilbao (Sunday, 3.15pm)

Athletic Bilbao will be aiming to return to winning ways in Spain's top flight when they head to a struggling Cadiz outfit on Sunday afternoon.

The visitors currently sit in fifth position in the La Liga table, boasting 41 points from their opening 21 matches of the campaign, while relegation-threatened Cadiz are down in 18th position.

We say: Cadiz 1-3 Athletic Bilbao


Cadiz's fans will be hoping that the arrival of a new manager can inspire the team to pick up a positive result this weekend, but Athletic have been one of the best sides in the division this term, and we are finding it difficult to predict anything other than a victory for the Basque side.

Sevilla vs. Osasuna (Sunday, 5.30pm)

Sevilla's fight to stay outside of the relegation zone in Spain's top flight will continue on Sunday evening when they welcome Osasuna to Estadio Ramon.

A difficult campaign has left the Europa League holders down in 17th position in the table, just one point ahead of the bottom three, while Osasuna sit 11th, boasting 25 points from 20 matches.

We say: Sevilla 1-1 Osasuna


Sevilla are a very difficult team to back, having only managed three league wins all season. Osasuna have been victorious on seven occasions in Spain's top flight this term, but they have also been beaten nine times, and we are expecting a close match on Sunday to end with the points being shared.

The stunning Wanda Metropolitano stadium will play host to an intriguing La Liga contest on Sunday evening, with Atletico Madrid welcoming Valencia.

Atletico are currently fourth in the La Liga table, picking up 41 points from their 20 matches this season, while an in-form Valencia are seventh, boasting 32 points from their opening 21 fixtures of 2023-24.

We say: Atletico Madrid 1-0 Valencia


It is almost 13 years since Valencia last beat Atletico away in the league, so it is very difficult to back them to win this game even considering their strong form. Atletico's home record this season has been excellent, meanwhile, and we are expecting Simeone's side to edge a close game here.
