With the 2024/25 La Liga campaign drawing to a close this weekend, we have six top-flight battles on the cards across Saturday.
With now-former Spanish champions Real Madrid stealing plenty of the headlines, Rayo Vallecano will also be looking to punch a famous European ticket.
On what is a stacked Saturday schedule from across Spain’s elite, we have taken a glance at some of the most appealing La Liga betting tips.
15:15 Real Madrid vs Real Sociedad
Officially relinquishing their La Liga crown last week, Real Madrid have already accepted that they will end the 2024/25 campaign without a single piece of silverware to show for their troubles. However, with Saturday’s showdown at the Bernabeu set to be Carlo Ancelotti’s final appearance in the dugout, Los Blancos are desperate to send the new Brazil boss off with a warm send off. Despite coming under even more scrutiny on May 11th as they fell to an infamous 4-3 loss away at arch-rivals Barcelona, Madrid have won each of their other six La Liga appearances. With Xabi Alonso’s tenure set to get underway ahead of the Club World Cup this summer, Saturday’s hosts will also be excited by their recent success on home soil. Last seen in the Spanish capital clinching a 2-1 win against Mallorca, Los Blancos have won their previous three domestic showdowns at the Bernabeu by an aggregate score of 6-3.
While some in Real Sociedad camp might have opened up the 2024/25 campaign with their sights set on mounting a genuine Champions League charge, Saturday’s guests have drastically failed to find any kind of stability. Opening their season finale sat in the bottom-half of the La Liga standings, it has also been confirmed that long-standing boss Imanol Alguacil will be leaving the Basque Country. Despite clinching an action-packed 3-2 win against Girona last weekend, that is the only victory that La Real have recorded from any of their previous seven top-flight appearances. Likewise, last seen on their travels slumping to a 4-0 drumming at the hands of Atletico Madrid, Sociedad have gained an unwanted reputation for their glaring issues away from the Reale Arena. In fact, Alguacil’s inconsistent camp have notched just a single La Liga victory on the road since way back on December 8th.

20:00 Rayo Vallecano vs Mallorca
While Rayo Vallecano might have found themselves at the heart of a real struggle on either side of March’s international break, the Little Thunderbolts have come roaring back in a sensational fashion. Hitting top gear at a crucial time of the season, Saturday’s hosts have skyrocketed their way into the European spots and are now just 90 minutes away from making major history. Last seen putting in another eye-catching performance as they clinched a 2-1 victory away at Celta Vigo, the mood in Inigo Perez’s camp is at a red-hot high. In fact, Vallecano have registered 10 points from their previous four La Liga appearances. Opening their season finale clinging onto the final European place thanks to their goal difference, the Madrid-based outfit are enjoying their most fruitful spell since the start of February. However, despite sitting in pole position this weekend, Vallecano have recorded just a sole win on home soil from any of their last seven attempts.
Although Mallorca might have signed off 2024 in the midst of their own shock European battle, the Pirates are certainly limping their way over the finishing line. With their top-eight dreams taking a critical blow, Jagoba Arrasate will now look back at their record-breaking run as a missed opportunity. Suffering consecutive 2-1 losses against Getafe and Real Madrid over the past fortnight, Saturday’s guests have lost four of their previous five La Liga appearances. Getting May underway with a 1-0 defeat against fellow strugglers Girona, the Palma-based outfit have also won just a quartet of their 20 matchups across all competitions so far this calendar year. Shockingly crashing out of the Copa del Rey back in January following a 3-0 drumming against fourth-tier outfit Pontevedra, Mallorca have also sown some glaring issues on the road. Along with losing their previous four showdowns outside of Palma by an aggregate score of 4-1, they have also notched just a single away win since December.
