Wednesday's La Liga predictions including Real Madrid vs. Las Palmas

sportsmole.co.uk, 27 September 2023, 05:15
Athletic Bilbao vs. Getafe (Wednesday, 6.00pm)

Athletic Bilbao will look to extend their unbeaten run to six matches when they welcome Getafe to San Mames for Wednesday's La Liga contest.

The visitors, meanwhile, head on their travels with hopes of claiming their first away points of the 2023-24 season.

We say: Athletic Bilbao 2-1 Getafe

After winning their last two home matches, we think Athletic Bilbao will prove too strong for Getafe, who have struggled on their travels this season, having lost all three away games.

Villarreal vs. Girona (Wednesday, 6.00pm)

High-flying Girona will look to maintain their unbeaten start to the La Liga season when they head to Estadio de la Ceramica for Wednesday's contest.

While Girona are currently sitting in second position, Villarreal enter the midweek encounter in 12th place after mustering seven points from their six league matches.

We say: Villarreal 1-2 Girona

With Villarreal struggling to meet their usual high standards in the opening stages of the season, we think they could find it tough going against an in-form Girona side.

The visitors have proven to be an irrepressible force in the opening six games, and we believe they will showcase their attacking talents once again to claim all three points on Wednesday.

Real Madrid vs. Las Palmas (Wednesday, 6.00pm)

Following a 3-1 victory for Atletico Madrid in Sunday's derby, Real Madrid will be looking to return to winning ways when Las Palmas visit the Bernabeu on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Los Amarillos picked up their first victory of the season last time out, securing a 1-0 win against Granada thanks to Kirian Rodriguez's stoppage-time strike.

We say: Real Madrid 2-0 Las Palmas

Boasting the joint-best defensive record in the division, Las Palmas will not make life easy for Real Madrid, but Ancelotti's men look set to return to winning ways with a hard-fought victory on home soil.

Cadiz vs. Rayo Vallecano (Wednesday, 8.30pm)

After taking one point from their last two matches, Cadiz will try to return to winning ways when they face Rayo Vallecano at Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla on Wednesday.

The visitors, meanwhile, will hope to avoid defeat for a third straight game after collecting four points from their previous two outings.

We say: Cadiz 1-1 Rayo Vallecano

Having won two of their opening three away matches, Rayo will be hoping to clinch maximum points, but we think they may have to be content with a draw against a Cadiz side that are unbeaten in their last six La Liga home games.

Valencia vs. Real Sociedad (Wednesday, 8.30pm)

Valencia will look to record a second straight home win when they welcome Real Sociedad to Mestalla for Wednesday's La Liga fixture.

The visitors, meanwhile, are hoping to claim back-to-back victories after getting the better of Gefate in Sunday's seven-goal thriller.

We say: Valencia 2-2 Real Sociedad

Real Sociedad will be desperate to pick up their first away victory of the season, but after failing to win any of their last six away meetings with Valencia, we think they will have to settle for a share of the spoils.
