Matchday 12 of La Liga gets underway this weekend with fur fixtures offering promising betting value. Atletico de Madrid and Real Madrid are backed to secure wins, while both teams are tipped to score in Espanyol vs Villareal and Celta Vigo vs Barcelona.
Matchday 12 of the 2025/26 La Liga season presents several opportunities for punters, with four fixtures standing out as strong accumulator options according to Africa Picks’ analysts.
Atletico Madrid vs Levante
Fourth placed Atletico de Madrid aim to extend a four match winning streak when they host Levante 16th placed Levante at the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano.
Simeone’s side head into the fixture with 22 points, three back from Barcelona and eight further from leaders Real Madrid. Following a 3-1 Champions League victory over Union St. Gilloise, and a domestic win would see them temporarily climb into second place.
Levante, meanwhile, have struggled for form, earning only one win from their last five games — a narrow 4-3 triumph in the Copa del Rey. Atletico’s home advantage and recent consistency make them clear favourites.
Pick: Atletico to win @ 1.22
Rayo Vallecano vs Real Madrid
Real Madrid, who top the table with 30 points, will look to recover from their 1-0 Champions League defeat to Liverpool when they visit Vallecano.
Xabi Alonso’s side remain favourites to win, though their defence — which has conceded 10 goals this season — could offer Vallecano opportunities to score. The home side are expected to make the most of their chances, even if Madrid’s quality proves decisive.
