Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Atlético Madrid are all in action when La Liga Primera resumes this weekend. We have picks and analysis on the biggest games of La Liga's Matchday 15.

Real Madrid moved to the top of the table after thumping Granada 4-1 last weekend. Los Blancos are just two points clear of third-place Sevilla, and the teams meet at the Bernabeu this weekend. Real Sociedad is now second following its fifth draw of the season last week, while champion Atlético Madrid is lurking ominously in fourth place.

La Liga Matchday 15 Predictions

Real Madrid vs. Sevilla – Both teams to score (-122)

Both teams to score has paid off in 10 of Real Madrid’s 13 games this season. They are the top scoring team in La Liga by a comfortable margin, but a slightly leaky defense has caused a few problems.

Sevilla has the best defensive record in the division, but it may not be able to resist the onslaught from Karim Benzema, Vinícius Júnior, and Rodrygo.

Real Madrid’s first-choice midfielders are all fit, and Toni Kroos, Luka Modri? and Casemiro should dictate the pace of this game.

Yet Sevilla also boasts a wealth of high-quality, creative players. They have scored in 11 of their 13 games so far this season, and they should be able to unlock the Real Madrid defense.

It finished 2-2 when these teams met at the Bernabeu in May, and both teams to score looks tempting this time around.

Atlético Madrid -1 Asian Handicap vs. Cádiz (-115)

Cádiz could be low on confidence after slumping to a disappointing 4-0 defeat to Getafe on Sunday.

That left them 16th in the table, with just two wins from 14 games thus far. Only bottom club Levante has now conceded more goals than Cádiz this season.

This represents a great opportunity for Atlético to pile pressure on the teams ahead of them in the title race.

Diego Simeone’s men lost 1-0 to AC Milan in the Champions League on Wednesday, but they should have an easier time of it against Cádiz.

It finished 4-0 to Atlético when the teams met in the Spanish capital last season, and Simeone’s men then picked up a 4-2 away win in Cádiz.

Mallorca vs. Getafe – Both teams to score (+123)

Mallorca is generally strong at home. They have lost only once at Iberostar Stadium this season, with eight goals scored and seven conceded in seven matches on the island.

This could therefore be a tough away game for Getafe, which has the worst away record in La Liga.

Yet Getafe have been on an upward curve since appointing Quique Sánchez Flores as their manager in October, replacing Michel González.

They thrashed Cádiz last weekend, and have scored in each of their last three games. Both teams to score has paid off in Mallorca’s last five matches, and the odds on them landing again are tempting.
