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

Leganes vs. Real Sociedad (Sunday, 1.00pm)

Real Sociedad will be aiming to make it four straight wins in all competitions when they continue their La Liga campaign with a clash against Leganes on Sunday afternoon.

Both teams will enter the match off the back of Copa del Rey fixtures, with the visitors advancing to the third round courtesy of a 1-0 success over Conquense, while Leganes overcame Estepona on penalties after a 2-2 draw.

We say: Leganes 1-2 Real Sociedad

Leganes have only lost three of their seven home league matches this season, conceding just seven times, so they will be confident of picking up a positive result here; Real Sociedad are just starting to build some momentum, though, and we are expecting the visitors to navigate their way to all three points on Sunday.

Athletic Bilbao vs. Villarreal (Sunday, 3.15pm)

One of the standout matches in La Liga this weekend will take place at San Mames on Sunday afternoon, with Athletic Bilbao welcoming Villarreal for what should be an intriguing affair.

Athletic are fourth in the La Liga table, having picked up 29 points from their 16 matches this season, while Villarreal are fifth on 26 points, but the Yellow Submarine have two games in hand on their opponents here.

We say: Athletic Bilbao 1-1 Villarreal

Perez's return is huge news for Villarreal, and we fancy the Yellow Submarine to claim a point here; Athletic are strong at home and will enter the clash off the back of a brilliant result, but it was 1-1 at San Mames in the corresponding game last term, and we can see the same scoreline on Sunday.

Osasuna vs. Alaves (Sunday, 5.30pm)

Osasuna will be bidding to return to winning ways in La Liga when they welcome Alaves on Sunday evening.

Both sides were in Copa del Rey action during the week, with Osasuna progressing to the third round of the competition courtesy of a 3-2 success over Ceuta, while Alaves lost on penalties to Deportiva Minera.

We say: Osasuna 2-0 Alaves

Osasuna have the fourth-best home record in La Liga this season, losing just one of their eight matches, and we are finding it very difficult to predict anything other than a routine home success here; Coudet needs time to change things at Alaves, but he could be staring at another defeat this weekend.

Atletico vs. Sevilla (Sunday, 8.00pm)

Atletico Madrid will be aiming to make it nine straight wins in all competitions when they continue their La Liga campaign with a clash against Sevilla at Wanda Metropolitano on Sunday night.

Diego Simeone's side are currently third in the La Liga table, picking up 32 points from their opening 15 matches of the campaign, while Sevilla are 11th, boasting 19 points from their first 15 games of the 2024-25 season.

We say: Atletico Madrid 2-0 Sevilla

Sevilla certainly have the players to make this a difficult assignment for Atletico, but Simeone's side are in excellent form at the moment, and we are struggling to see anything other than a routine home success at Wanda Metropolitano on Sunday night.
