La Liga Odds, Picks & Predictions for Matchday 11 (2022)
As the weather starts to turn in Spain, things are heating up in their top league as La Liga has now reached matchday 11. At the top, Real Madrid and Barcelona continue to battle it out for the top spot, as a host of teams fall in line behind them.
Let’s take a closer look at a couple of spots I’m keyed in on for this week.

Sunday
Girona FC vs. Osasuna
Girona FC’s promotion to the top league this season has gone about as well as could’ve been expected, picking up just two wins through nine games. Their last one, however, came all the way back on September 9th, as they have lost four of five since. Their last time on the pitch was one of the closest to date, as they lost a hot contest game vs. Almeria 3-2.
As for the visiting Osasuna, a 1-0 win last week over Espanyol propelled them to #7 on the table, as they are now within striking distance of the coveted top five places. With a goal differential of zero through 10 games, Osasuna has relied on a balanced attack, picking up five wins to this point for one of their best starts in recent memory.
In this one, I think Osasuna carries their momentum through as they come out the other side with a second straight win.
Pick: Osasuna (+185)
Monday
Celta Vigo vs. Getafe
Following a decent start to the season that saw them pick three wins out of the gates, Celta Vigo has crashed back to earth as of late. Over the past month, the team has lost three of four matches including three straight in the lead-up to this one. It’s worth noting as well, that over their most recent three-game slide, Vigo has a -5 goal differential, highlighted by their most recent defeat to Valladolid 4-1 on the road last week.
As for Getafe, a sluggish start has been followed up with two straight games picking up points, both being draws. Most recently, they fought off a stout Atletic Bilbao attack at home last week, fining the match 2-2 after a back-and-forth affair.
In a game I have much closer to even on paper, I’m taking the sizeable dog here in which I think there is plenty of value.
Pick: Getafe (+460)
