Spanish La Liga returns weekend with first round actions from the new season.

Celta de Vigo - Real Madrid

Celta de Vigo won't be pleased to host Real Madrid on their opening match for the new season.

On the other hand, Real Madrid could be still unprepared for the new season as their squad is full with new names.

• Celta de Vigo have a good record of 5 undefeated games of their last 6 encounters in La Liga.
• At least 2 goals have been scored by Celta de Vigo in all of their last 5 home matches in La Liga.
• Real Madrid are undefeated against Celta de Vigo in 10 consecutive matches in the league.
• Real Madrid are on a winning streak by 2+ goals of 3 matches against Celta de Vigo in La Liga.
• Prediction: Real Madrid @ 1.72

Real Mallorca - SD Eibar

Real Mallorca will start their La Liga journey with a home match against SD Eibar.

SD Eibar didn't show good results in their away fixtures last season, so they might continue this trend throughout this new season.

• Real Mallorca have won in one of their last 2 meetings with SD Eibar in all competitions.
• Real Mallorca haven't shown good results lately as they have been defeated in 3 of their last 6 matches in all competitions.
• Eibar's performance has been disappointing of late, as they have won just 1 of their 15 most recent away La Liga clashes.
• There have been under 2.5 goals scored in 6 of SD Eibar's last 7 league games.
• Prediction: Real Mallorca @ 2.75

CD Leganes - CA Osasuna

CD Leganes will host another newbie in the face of CA Osasuna.

CA Osasuna showed solid results in Spain's second division last season, so they were granted with a promotion in the top-flight, but are they ready to challenge the biggest clubs in the country.

• Leganes haven't succeeded in scoring a goal in their 3 latest home games in La Liga.
• CD Leganes are unbeaten in 14 of their last 17 home matches in La Liga.
• CA Osasuna have won in 3 of their last 6 matches against CD Leganes in all competitions.
• Of their 14 most recent La Liga games, CD Leganes have seen 11 with under 2.5 goals scored.
• Prediction: CD Leganes @ 2.00

Villarreal CF - Granada CF

Villarreal CF will try to improve their poor 2018/2019 season with a good start against the new arrival team of Granada CF.

This match won't be easy for Granada CF, who will have to work hard in this season if their goal is to remain in the league.

• Villarreal CF haven't lost a match in 8 of their last 9 home matches in La Liga.
• Villarreal CF have kept a clean sheet in their last 4 home matches against Granada CF in La Liga.
• Granada CF have been defeated by Villarreal CF in their last 5 away encounters in La Liga.
• Granada CF have lost at HT/FT in 4 of their last 5 away games against Villarreal CF in La Liga.
• Prediction: Villarreal CF @ 1.57
