La Liga Betting Lines, Spreads, Totals & Top Picks for Matchday 19

While certain leagues in Europe, most notably the English Premier League, get busier during the holiday season, others take a break.

LaLiga in Spain is one that closes down for a couple of weeks over Christmas and New Year, and while we have some time before we get to the next round of games, we are still going to look ahead to what is coming by taking a quick look at the top games in Matchday 19.

La Liga Betting Matchday 19 Analysis

We have a fantastic battle at the top of the league, with the top 3 teams separated by just 3 points, but that may well change once the next game on the schedule is played, which we will get to first in this preview.

Here are 4 games that we like in the La Liga Matchday 19 schedule.

Valencia +590 vs Real Madrid -248 Draw +350

Rescheduled Game from Matchday 12
La Liga Bet: Valencia 1-3 Real Madrid
La Liga Spread: -1.5 (O/U 2.5)
When: Friday, January 3, 2:00 PM

While it has been a less than stellar start to the season for Real Madrid, they could still find themselves sitting at the top of the league of they come away with the win in this game, which will be played on January 3.

They have been a little better of late, going 3-1-1 in their last 5 games, and you would certainly like their chances to come away with the win in this game.

Valencia is down at the wrong end of the table, sitting at 2nd bottom with just 12 points, although they are unbeaten in their last 2 games. This, though, is a much tougher matchup.

Espanyol +102 vs Leganes +290 Draw +212

La Liga Bet: Espanyol 1-1 Leganes
La Liga Spread: -0.5 (O/U 1.5)
When: Saturday, January 11, 11:30 AM

The focus tends to be on the top of the table and the battle for the LaLiga title, but there is a whole separate battle going on down in the relegation zone.

Espanyol is in 1 of the 3 relegation spots right now, but they have been picking up points of late, with a win and a pair of draws in their last 5 games.

Leganes is s spots head of Espanyol, but there are only 3 points separating these teams, so we could see a real shift depending on the outcome of this game.

Atlético Madrid -319 vs Osasuna +800 Draw +380

La Liga Bet: Atletico Madrid 2-0 Osasuna
La Liga Spread: -1.5 (O/U 2.5)
When: Sunday, January 12, 9:15 AM

There are some who criticize the defensive style of football played by manager Diego Simeone, but you cannot argue with the results.

Atletico Madrid is sitting at the top of the table with 41 points, scoring 33 goals, while surrendering just 12. Over the past 5 games, Atletico has been perfect, including a win over Barcelona in their last game.

Osasuna is sitting in the middle of the table, but they have lost just once in their last 5, although the other 4 games ended in a tie.

Las Palmas +134 vs Getafe +218 Draw +196

La Liga Bet: Las Palmas 2-1 Getafe
La Liga Spread: -0.5 (O/U 1.5)
When: Sunday, January 12, 7:00 AM

This is another matchup that has more of an impact on the bottom of the table than the top, but it is still one worth paying attention to.

Las Palmas is down in 13th place right now, but they are moving up the table rather quickly, going unbeaten (3W 1D) in their last 4 games.

Getafe is sitting just above the relegation zone on 16 points, but with just 2 wins in their last 5 games, they need to start picking up points if they want to move clear of the bottom 3.

2023 LaLiga Matchday 19

Barcelona, Sevilla, and Betis are all in action on Saturday. Barca heads to Girona, Sevilla hosts Elche, and Betis travels to Getafe. Then on Sunday, Atletico takes on Osasuna, Celta Vigo hosts Athletic Bilbao, and Sociedad travels to Real. Will the favorites beat the underdogs? See below for LaLiga Odds, analysis, and free picks for six of this weekend’s best LaLiga games.

Best Spanish LaLiga Matches to Wager On Matchday 19 (January 28th – 29th)

Girona +450 vs Barcelona -173

When: Saturday, Jan. 28 at 10:15 am ET

On Jan. 14, Girona upset Sevilla 2-1. But in their very next match, Villareal beat Girona 1-0, which might explain why Barca is such a huge road chalk in this.

Another reason people like Lewa and his mates? Barcelona has won 5 straight.

But although Barca is playing great soccer, this feels like a trap game. Girona is playing well enough to get the upset win. The odds are kind on the home dog, which is another reason to pull the trigger.

Soccer Pick: Girona

Sevilla -1.5 +148 vs Elche +1.5 -190

When: Saturday, Jan. 28 at 12:30 pm ET

Elche had lost 3 straight, but in their last 2, the road dog in this picked it up, drawing 1-1 versus Cadiz and Osasuna.

Sevilla has won 3-of-5 with 2 losses. The 2 losses were both in road matches. On their pitch, Sevilla often plays like one of the best teams at LaLiga. Sevilla bested Elche 2-0 the last time they faced their rivals on their grass. Laying the goals makes sense.

Soccer Pick: Sevilla -1.5

Getafe +208 vs Real Betis +162

When: Saturday, Jan. 28 at 3:00 pm ET

Before blindly backing Betis, we must assess the odds. The reason? Both teams are playing terrible soccer.

The road chalk is on a 3-match losing streak. The home dog has lost 4 straight. In the last head-to-head, these two drew 0-0. The match happened at Getafe. So, a second straight draw is possible.

Soccer Pick: Draw

Osasuna +238 vs Atletico Madrid +125

When: Sunday, Jan. 29 at 10:15 am ET

Atletico Madrid has won 3-of-5 and 2 straight. For sure, Atletico is the better squad and because they’re in good form, we won’t talk anybody off AM.

But Osasuna is playing well enough to attract a look. The home underdog has won 3-of-5 with a couple of draws. In their last 2 home games, Osasuna prevailed. The odds make the home team tough to ignore.

Soccer Pick: Osasuna

Celta Vigo +189 vs Athletic Bilbao +165

When: Sunday, Jan. 29 at 12:30 pm ET

Celta Vigo shows a single victory in their last 5. Bilbao shows 2 wins in their last 5, which means neither squad is in great form.

The glaring difference between these two is that Bilbao has lost to the much better teams. Sociedad and Real beat Athletic Bilbao.

Celta’s last loss came versus Mallorca. Bilbao is the play.

Soccer Pick: Athletic Bilbao

Real Madrid -142 vs Real Sociedad +380

When: Sunday, Jan. 29 at 3:00 pm ET

The battle of the top two Reals at LaLiga should be an ultra-competitive affair. Real Madrid has won 3 with a couple of losses.

The home team favorite lost to Villareal and Barcelona. Since losing to Barca in the Supercopa, Real has bounced back with 2 straight wins.

Sociedad has won 4 straight with a loss. Sociedad lost their last, but it was versus Barcelona and it was by a 1-0 score. The odds imply Real Madrid rocks the road team. Sociedad offers overlay odds, making them an obvious choice.

Soccer Pick: Real Sociedad
