<p>La Liga soccer returned last weekend, with some interesting results occurring throughout the league.</p> <p>We covered the title race in a previous article, and those looking to be involved all kicked off their campaigns in differing ways. FC Barcelona won the title last year and began with a 3-0 away victory over Real Mallorca, while Atletico Madrid lost on the road 2-1 to Espanyol.</p> <p>Real Madrid played on Wednesday, taking on Osasuna at home in Xabi Alonso’s La Liga managerial debut. It finished 1-0.</p> <p>Let’s look ahead to the upcoming slate of fixtures for this weekend:</p> <h2>La Liga 2025/26 Matchweek 2 Betting Preview</h2> <p>Throughout the 2025/26 La Liga campaign, there will be matches on Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. The following matches are scheduled to be played this weekend…</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Real Betis vs Alaves (Saturday 05:30 AEST)</p> <p>Mallorca vs Celta Vigo (Sunday 01:00 AEST)</p> <p>Atletico Madrid vs Elche (Sunday 03:30 AEST)</p> <p>Levante vs Barcelona (Sunday 05:30 AEST)</p> <p>Osasuna vs Valencia (Monday 01:00 AEST)</p> <p>Real Sociedad vs Espanyol (Monday 03:30 AEST)</p> <p>Villarreal vs Girona (Monday 03:30 AEST)</p> <p>Oviedo vs Real Madrid (Monday 05:30 AEST)</p> <p>Athletic Club vs Rayo Vallecano (Tuesday 03:30 AEST)</p> <p>Sevilla vs Getafe (Tuesday 05:30 AEST)</p> <h2>La Liga 2025/26 Matchweek 2 Betting Predictions</h2> <p>Each and every week, we continue to offer some of the most competitive <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/soccer/spain/spanish-la-liga">La Liga 2025/26 betting odds</a>, with a diverse range of betting markets available to consider and back across all matches.</p> <p>This week, there is plenty of betting value to find, with the following matches potentially worth keeping an eye on ahead of the upcoming matchweek…</p> <p>The <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/soccer/spain/spanish-la-liga/levante-v-barcelona-9503540">Levante vs Barcelona</a> match could offer betting value in terms of goals scored. In the last five meetings between the two teams, there has only been one game where both teams failed to score. In addition, that was the only game in which fewer than three goals were scored. With the last two meetings at Ciutat de València producing five and six goals respectively, the ‘Over 3.5 Goals’ might be worth considering, as is the ‘BTTS’ market.</p> <p>The <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/soccer/spain/spanish-la-liga/atletico-madrid-v-elche-9503541">Atletico Madrid vs Elche</a> fixture may also offer value in terms of goal betting. The ‘Under 2.5 Goals’ offers favourable odds compared to the ‘Over’, given that none of the last five games between the two sides has seen more than two goals scored.</p> <p>Value can also be found in the match between <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/soccer/spain/spanish-la-liga/osasuna-v-valencia-9503536">Osasuna and Valencia</a>. The ‘Draw’ looks a good bet for this game, with both sides inconsistent when they meet in La Liga action. The last two matches have seen draws, with results being 3-3 and 0-0. This may make the ‘Yes’ outcome in the ‘Both Teams to Score’ market seems attractive, as it has only hit in two of the last five meetings.</p>
