Villarreal arrive full of confidence after a spirited 2-2 draw at Atletico Madrid and carry real attacking quality that should ultimately tell at Mendizorroza. Alaves, however, are well drilled and hard to beat at home, set up to frustrate and hit Villarreal on the counter rather than trade chances openly. The head to head shows Villarreal have often won these fixtures by a single goal, including a 1-0 defeat and a tight 1-1 draw among the last five meetings, supporting the idea of a narrow, controlled away win rather than a high scoring afternoon, even with an open game generally expected.
19/4 PLACE BETVillarreal should create the bulk of the chances against a determined Alaves side set up to frustrate them, giving Boye a strong platform to convert one of those opportunities as their central attacking threat. The combative, counter attacking approach Alaves are expected to take, combined with a physical battle for a positive result on the opening weekend, increases the likelihood of niggly fouls and confrontations involving forwards caught up in defensive duels. A goal from the main striker paired with a card from the same combative, high intensity fixture is a natural double for this kind of tightly contested away trip.
13/2 PLACE BETBetis arrive full of confidence after a controlled 1-0 win at Valencia, a result built on defensive solidity rather than end-to-end goals. Levante, newly promoted, opened with a goalless draw at Osasuna and will likely set up to frustrate rather than trade chances, especially at home against a side fancied to win. If Betis dominate possession and are patient, a routine win without conceding looks just as probable as a shootout. Backing against the win-and-BTTS combination covers the more likely outcome: Betis controlling the game and shutting out a Levante side still finding its feet defensively at this level.
3/1 PLACE BETBetis should enjoy long spells of possession in advanced areas against a Levante side expected to sit deep and counter, giving their front players regular sight of goal. With an established front line sharing chances between the middle and the flanks, all three look nailed-on starters likely to get at least one effort away even in a cagier contest. Betis’s attacking output last season ranked among the division’s best, underlining the quality up top. Against a newly promoted defence adjusting to a higher level, one shot on target apiece from this trio is a reasonable, low-bar ask.
12/5 PLACE BETReal Madrid scored 77 goals last season, comfortably the division’s most potent attack, and opened this campaign with a controlled 2-1 win at Espanyol. Malaga return to the top flight on the back of a battling 1-1 draw with Deportivo, but a first trip to the Bernabeu is a huge step up in class. Madrid have won all four recent meetings between these sides and should dominate territory and chances throughout. With Bellingham a key attacking outlet from midfield and Madrid’s front line expected to punish a newly promoted defence, a comfortable win with three-plus goals and a Bellingham strike looks well within reach.
5/2 PLACE BETReal Madrid’s attack scored 77 goals last season, and Malaga’s newly promoted defence is likely to be tested from the first whistle at the Bernabeu. Mbappe leads the line as the focal point and habitual shot-taker, while Vinicius offers pace and directness from the left that regularly produces efforts on goal. Valverde’s box-to-box running and willingness to shoot from distance add a third source of attempts. Facing a side expected to sit deep for long spells, all three should see enough of the ball in dangerous areas to clear these shot-on-target thresholds comfortably.
