La Liga: 3 betting tips for Matchday 26

Ace Football presents detailed betting tips on the upcoming La Liga games of the weekend.

As we prepare for another weekend of La Liga football, our experts take a look at the bookmakers’ predictions for the upcoming matches.

Let’s check out three betting tips for Matchday 26 of La Liga.

Expect goals on both ends when Mallorca host Valencia

Valencia are on a run of five winless league games, with most of their poor results being linked to their defensive struggles. Despite sitting 12th on the league table, Valencia have the third-worst defensive stats of the league.

This week, Jose Bordalas’ side will face Mallorca, who have also shown signs of defensive problems lately. The 16th-placed team have not been able to make a clean sheet since December 19.

Goals likely when Real Sociedad meet Osasuna

Sociedad have struggled to maintain consistency with their performances since after the January transfer window. Having conceded nine goals in their last three games, they are obviously not doing so well defensively.

The White and Blues will face an Osasuna side who have gone through a similar period in recent weeks. Following a 3-0 win over Rayo Vallecano, the Rojillos lost against Atletico Madrid with a similar result.

With both sides being keen to display attacking performances lately, we expect an exciting match on Sunday.

Don’t expect goals when Atletico Madrid host Celta Vigo

Diego Simeone has experimented with less-defensive systems at Atletico this season. The results have not always been satisfying. However, the new plans have enabled the Rojiblancos to improve their attacking stats compared to the past seasons.

But this week, Simeone’s team will face a Celta Vigo side, who have been extremely hard to beat lately. Celta have not lost any of their last five games, conceding only three goals.

We expect Simeone to return to his conservative playing style against the ninth-place side. Therefore the match will most likely end with a few goals.
