\n With the La Liga outright winner for the 2024\/25 season, it appears to be a two-horse race between Barcelona and defending champions Real Madrid. The bookmakers have included Diego Simeone\u2019s Atletico Madrid as third favourites, because they last won the title in 2020\/21. Realistically, it would be a shock if any other team finished in the top two, let alone were crowned champions.

How Stats Help When Betting on La Liga<\/h2>\n \n\n
\n Football bettors are becoming increasingly reliant on statistics to enhance their experience of the beautiful game and to increase their chances of staking a winning bet. La Liga stats cover a wide variety of crucial data that can boost your chances of netting a winning bet. Team stats are the most important, as this also provides the trends and form of both individual players and the team in La Liga action.<\/p>\n\n
\n Goals are what the game is all about, and La Liga is an entertaining league because historically there have been a high number of goals scored. Corner stats, which trouble opponents and often lead to goals, tend to show the dominance of one club and are a good guide for in-play bets. Referee stats need carefully studying before kick-off, as some refs are strict and tend to brandish yellow or red cards early on to assert their authority on the pitch.<\/p>\n\n
\n Explore the figures and stats to discover the trends in La Liga. You are then armed to come up with a betting plan using the stats to unearth essential information on trends and form. For example, a La Liga team may employ a different formation for away games, aiming to be more attacking or defensive. Additionally, a club might have never tasted defeat against a particular side, or a team could be on an unbeaten home or away streak of over five games.<\/p>\n\n
\n Data-Driven Betting Decisions\n <\/h3>\n \n\n
\n Bookies have teams crunching the numbers from a plethora of statistics<\/a> to build up betting odds, and ultimately make a healthy profit. Sport can be unpredictable in terms of results, although top-flight football tends not to fall into that category.<\/p>\n\n\n With La Liga being so technical and tactical, there are plenty of aspects that will be calculable to have a punt on, leaving bettors feeling confident despite low odds. If you choose to have a flutter on the La Liga top scorer, do look at La Liga stats goals bagged over the past few seasons and consider who his team-mates were. <\/p>\n\n
\n You can make informed betting decisions rather than allow personal bias towards any favourites, by making use of intuitive pre-match player and team statistics that many bookies have introduced.<\/p>\n\n
