LaLiga Matchday 38 Betting Favorites

The final matchday of the 2024/25 LaLiga season is here, and there’s still a lot at stake, including the last team to be relegated and a few spots for European competitions.

Barcelona has already been crowned champion, Real Madrid secured second place, and the five teams heading to the Champions League are confirmed, but the league is far from over.

In the race for European qualification spots, Celta, Rayo Vallecano, and Osasuna are battling for the last Europa League berth, with Celta holding the advantage. They’ll need to win away at Getafe to secure their spot.

There’s also a fight for the Conference League place, which will go to one of the two teams that don’t make it to the Europa League. Rayo Vallecano will host Mallorca, while Osasuna—currently trailing in the race—will visit Alavés.

As for relegation, Espanyol must beat Las Palmas to avoid dropping to the second division. If they lose and Leganés beats Real Valladolid, Borja Jiménez’s side will survive.

LaLiga Matchday 38: Espanyol vs. Las Palmas

Espanyol sits in 17th place with 39 points, just two ahead of Leganés. They’re currently going through their worst stretch of the season—after drawing with Valencia and earning 11 out of a possible 15 points, they’ve lost five straight matches, including two at home. On a positive note, Uruguayan defender Leandro Cabrera will return after serving his suspension.

Las Palmas were relegated a few matchdays ago and are looking to end their season with a win. Like their opponents, they’re on a five-game losing streak, all by a one-goal margin, which has also been the scoreline in their last three matches. They already defeated Espanyol earlier this season at the end of 2024 (1-0).

Espanyol vs. Las Palmas Betting Pick: Espanyol

LaLiga Matchday 38: Leganés vs. Real Valladolid

Leganés is still alive. Thanks to two wins in their last three matches, they still have a chance to avoid relegation, but it’s no longer in their hands. They must win and hope Espanyol doesn’t. It’s surprising that a team that managed to beat Barcelona (away) and Atlético Madrid this season finds itself in this situation. They haven’t beaten this opponent in their last seven official encounters.

On the other hand, Real Valladolid have been relegated for quite some time. It’s been a dreadful season for the Pucela side, sitting at the bottom with just four wins, four draws, and 29 losses. They have the worst offense (26 goals scored) and the worst defense (87 goals conceded). They’re on an 11-game losing streak and have gone 18 matches without a win, managing just one draw in that span.

Leganés vs. Real Valladolid Betting Pick: Leganés

LaLiga Matchday 38: Getafe vs. Celta

Getafe bids farewell to their home crowd this season. They sit in 13th place with no aspirations left and have already secured their safety thanks to last weekend’s 2-1 away win over Mallorca, with a goal from Christantus Uche, who, coincidentally, also scored the first goal that earned the team its first point this season. That victory ended a six-game losing streak during which they scored just one goal, in the first of those matches, meaning they went five straight games without finding the net.

Celta had the chance to secure a Europa League spot last weekend at home but lost 1-2 to Rayo Vallecano, their main rival in the race. They now have 52 points, one more than Vallecano and Osasuna, so they are under pressure to win if they want to qualify. They’re coming off an away victory, but overall, they’ve earned just 16 out of 54 possible points on the road.

Getafe vs. Celta Betting Pick: Celta

LaLiga Matchday 38: Rayo Vallecano vs. Mallorca

With 51 points, Rayo Vallecano sits in eighth place and depends on itself to qualify for the Conference League. However, a win combined with a Celta loss would earn them a Europa League spot. It would be a well-deserved reward for a team that picked up 10 of their last 12 points, although they’ve only managed one win in their previous seven home matches.

The opposite is true for Mallorca, which let great opportunities slip away and is now left empty-handed. They’re 10th with 47 points and have earned just four of the last 18 possible, losing at home to Getafe (1-2) last weekend. That defeat ended their hopes, and now they can only look ahead to trying again next season.

Rayo Vallecano vs. Mallorca Betting Pick: Rayo Vallecano
