The 2024/25 La Liga campaign is just under a month away, with all the excitement of international tournaments done.
Real Madrid are once again the defending champions having lifted the La Liga title for the 36th time last season. At times it looked as though we would be getting a fairly tale as Giron challenged for the title. But, in the end, the power of Real Madrid prevailed.
Los Blancos finished 10 points clear at the top of the table, with Barcelona the runners-up and Girona settling for third. The question is, can Real Madrid do what they haven’t done since 2007/08 and retain their La Liga crown?
Who will win the La Liga title?
Real Madrid are once again odds-on favourites to win the La Liga title. It’s been a while since Los Blancos didn’t start a campaign leading the odds, with their overall quality shining over an uncertain period at Barcelona.
The most-successful team in La Liga history, Real Madrid have won the title in three of the past five seasons. But, crucially for their opponents, they haven’t retained their title. In fact, Real Madrid have failed to hold onto their title in each of the past five seasons they have been defending champions. Los Blancos will be hoping their summer business can change that fact, adding Kylian Mbappe to an already star-studded squad.
As mentioned, Barcelona were 10 points behind Real Madrid last season having gone into the campaign as defending champions. In 2022/23 the Blaugrana ended a three-season wait for the title, finishing 10 points clear of second-placed Real Madrid. But it felt as though that was more of a one-off, rather than the side of domination. Barcelona have had to deal with off-pitch issues for a few years now and go into this campaign under Hansi Flick’s helm, with Xavi sacked in the summer.
Although they finished fourth last season, Atletico Madrid are the third-favourites to win La Liga, as one of the Big Three. Diego Simeone’s side were 19 points behind Real Madrid last season and lost 10 of their 38 games. This comes despite Atletico Madrid taking four points off Real Madrid in the league. But Atletico Madrid are often the third wheel of the title fight in La Liga, with just two championships in the past 20 years — the rest being shared between Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Who will finish in the La Liga top four?
Naturally, the three title contenders are all odds-on to finish in the top four of La Liga. And last season was the first since 2011/12 that a team outside of that trio finished in the top three. So the question is, who will finish fourth and grab that final Champions League spot.
Girona were the fourth team last season, with their fantastic campaign taking them far in the title race. They eventually fell behind as the might of Real Madrid and Barcelona showed, but Girona still did enough to secure Champions League football. The question now is whether they can maintain a top four push. Not only do they have to repeat their feat, which was a massive surprise, but they need to do it while juggling Champions League football. In the Premier League, we saw Newcastle United struggle to do that last season.
On similar odds to Girona are Real Sociedad and Athletic Bilbao, who some may see as the fourth- and fifth-best teams in Spain when it comes to consistently performing. However, Athletic Bilbao haven’t finished in the top four since 2013/14, while Real Sociedad were in the Champions League last season.
Villarreal complete the close group of top four favourites, having sat in the top eight in 10 of their 11 seasons since returning to La Liga. However, only one of those was a fourth-placed finish, in 2015/16. Last season they were eighth, dropping slightly to miss out on European football.

Who will be relegated from La Liga?
At the other end of the table, La Liga said goodbye to Cadiz, Almeria and Granada. The latter pair were among the worst teams for a long time, with Almeria only getting their first win deep into the campaign. They were level on 21 points, with Cadiz 12 points ahead. However, Cadiz were still five points behind 17th-placed Rayo Vallecano.
This season, the favourites to go down are a team that finished 16th in La Liga. Las Palmas are most-favoured to be relegated, ahead of the newly-promoted sides.
Leganes, Real Valladolid and Espanyol are the three new teams in La Liga, with the first two completing the top three for favourites. However, Real Valladolid are pretty level on odds with Getafe, who finished as high as 12th last season. They were 10 points clear of relegation, but the likes of Celta Vigo and Sevilla below them aren’t expected to have another poor campaign.
