Barcelona took over the reigns at the top of the La Liga table with 37 points, one more than rivals Real Madrid ahead of matchday 15. Only six points separate the top four teams and an exciting lineup of matches sets this up to be an entertaining La Liga weekend.
AfricaPicks has a look at the best games for an accumulator bet ahead of the weekends matches.
Villarreal vs Getafe – Saturday, 4pm
Villarreal are the most in-form team in Spain, winning their last five league games. Their great run of form leaves them in third place with 32 points, while Getafe are in seventh with 20.
Getafe beat Elche 1-0 in their last La Liga game, while their opponents edged Real Sociedad 3-2 in a thrilling encounter. Getafe have not beaten Villarreal in the league since a 2-1 victory in 2019.
Prediction – Villarreal to win @ 1.42 odds

Betis vs Barcelona – Sunday, 8:30pm
Fifth place Betis need a win if they are to reduce the point gap between them and the top four teams. They face a Barcelona side who have won all five of their last La Liga games and sit at the top of the standings.
The last two league meetings between these sides have resulted in a draw, with Barca demolishing Betis 5-2 in a Copa del Rey match in between. Barca have scored 17 goals in their last five games and are tipped to get on the scoresheet here as well.
Prediction – Both teams to score @ 1.58 odds
Athletic Bilbao vs Atletico Madrid – Saturday, 11pm
Both sides are coming off midweek defeats and are desperate to return to winning ways. Bilbao lost 3-1 to Real Madrid, while Atletico fell to Barca by a similar scoreline.
Historically, this has proved to be a low scoring fixture with Atletico winning 1-0 in both games last season. Bilbao have let in 20 goals in their opening 15 games of the season and with Atletico’s attacking line, they are bound to concede here as well.
Prediction – Under 2.5 goals @ 1.60 odds
Valencia vs Sevilla – Saturday, 6:15pm
13th place Sevilla are seeking a first league win against Valencia since 2023 despite coming off back to back losses. Their most recent 2-0 home defeat to Betis was already their eighth defeat of the campaign.
Valencia on the other hand are unbeaten in their last three league outings but still sit lowly in 15th place. Valencia were 1-0 winners the last time these two sides met and are tipped as favorites to avoid defeat here.
Prediction – Valencia to win or draw @ 1.34 odds

Celta lost 1-0 to Espanyol in their last league outing, while Madrid were 3-0 winners away at Bilbao. Madrid are unbeaten in their last eight league matches and are favorites to win convincingly here.
