La Liga Matchday 10 Predictions

Valencia to beat Mallorca (-150)

Mallorca has a horrendous away record in La Liga. It was relegated at the end of the 2019-20 season after losing 15 out of 19 games on the road. It is now back in the top flight, but it continues to struggle on its travels. Mallorca beat Alavés 1-0 in its first away game this season, but Alavés has the second-worst record in La Liga this season and it had a man sent off before conceding in that match.

Since then, Mallorca has lost 2-0 to Athletic Club, 6-1 to Real Madrid, and 1-0 to Real Sociedad on the road. Sociedad also had a man sent off in the first half of that game, but it still found a late winner.

Valencia is currently winless in its last five matches, but it has played strong teams during that time. This represents a golden opportunity to get its season back on track. Combine Valencia to win with under 4.5 goals at -110 for better value on this game.

Betis vs. Rayo - BTTS (-130)

Rayo Vallecano has fared a lot better than Mallorca since securing promotion to La Liga for the 2021-22 season. It is currently flying high in sixth place, with five wins and a draw from nine games thus far. Rayo has also won four of its last five matches, making it one of the more in-form teams in the league right now.

Only Real Madrid has scored more goals than Rayo so far this season. The club signed legendary striker Radamel Falcao in the summer and he has led the line with aplomb.

Rayo should have enough quality to exploit a Betis defense that kept just two clean sheets in nine games so far. Betis could be fatigued from its midweek clash with Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League, and it is unlikely to repel Rayo for 90 minutes.

Rayo has also kept a mere two clean sheets thus far. It is liable to be exposed by the quality of Borja Iglesias, Willian José, Nabil Fekir, and Sergio Canales.

Sevilla to beat Levante to nil (+120)

Sevilla has the best defensive record in La Liga this season, with only three goals conceded in eight games. That trend has also extended into the Champions League, where Sevilla has been rock solid in defense.

Its main issue is finding the back of the net, and the problem has been exacerbated by an injury to star striker Youssef En-Nesyri. Yet it should be able to breach Levante's defense on Sunday.

Levante has only earned one clean sheet so far this season, it has not won a single game, and it is marooned in the relegation zone. So this is the sort of match in which Sevilla should grind out a low-scoring victory.
