LaLiga return stats: Tables, form & key stats for LaLiga title race, European places & relegation
LaLiga returned on Thursday with the title, European places and relegation all set to go down to the wire. Check out all the run-in fixtures, stats you need to know & previews here.
LaLiga will stage matches every single day until July 19, and this festival of football will help decide some burning issues in Spain, with everything up for grabs.
The title may be the usual two-horse race between Barcelona and Real Madrid, but it could go right down to the wire, while there's a five-way fight for the Champions League and a tense dog-fight at the bottom.
Here's what's happening in the top division in Spain....
How is the title race going?
Barcelona hold a two-point advantage over old rivals Real Madrid with 11 games left as they look to make it three LaLiga titles in a row and five in six seasons.
Real actually beat Barca back in March to go above them by a point, but they let that advantage slip in the very last round of matches before the coronavirus shutdown as they lost at Real Betis, while Barca edged to a 1-0 win over Real Sociedad.
Barca's toughest games to go include facing current third-placed side Sevilla and their always huge clash with Atletico Madrid - those are two of just four games against current top half sides left though. Barca face six of the current bottom seven.
Real Madrid have a more even split with six of the top 10 to face, although that also includes a few mid-table sides with little to play for. The title race could go right down to the wire.
LaLiga title odds: Barcelona 1/2 | Real Madrid 6/4

A five-way battle for Champions League places
Despite their huge £140m signing of Joao Felix, Atletico Madrid haven't been able to mount a serious challenge and sit way down in sixth, some 13 points off Barcelona and in a real scrap just to make the top four.
After knocking out Champions League holders Liverpool in that controversial game at Anfield staged just as the pandemic was taking hold, Diego Simeone's side may well now have to go on and win the competition to get back in it next season.
It's tight though, with third-placed Sevilla getting an opening night win against Betis to stretch their advantage to four points, but Valencia, in seventh, are still just eight points back.
Sociedad are the form horse in this race having won four of their last five before the break and they're also the top scorers with 45 - six more than the next best. The goal difference between all of them is also pretty tight.
LaLiga top 4 finish odds
- Atletico Madrid - 4/6
- Sevilla - 2/7
- Real Sociedad - 6/4
- Getafe - 2/1
- Valencia - 11/1
Who is going to get relegated?
Espanyol look a little bit cut off at the bottom, sitting six points adrift from safety - seven in reality given their goal difference, which is unsurprisingly the worst in the division.
Leganes and Real Mallorca harbour realistic ambitions of beating the drop. If they pull it off then it’ll mean a less than happy ending to the season for one or more of Real Valladolid, Eibar and Celta Vigo, who all hover just above the drop zone.
Second-bottom Leganes have to play both Real Madrid and Barcelona to play in their run-in, but it's an even more difficult schedule for Mallorca, who are third bottom and just a point behind Celta Vigo but have huge six-pointers against both them and Leganes.
Mallorca's first game back is at home to Barcelona and, although there is a chance they could catch Lionel Messi and company cold, we've seen in the Bundesliga that home advantage for the lesser teams has been washed away with the absence of their fans.
Mallorca also have Real Madrid, Sevilla and Atletico Madrid to play - so it doesn't look good for Vicente Moreno's men.
Celta Vigo had a nice five-game unbeaten run going on before the break, while Eibar were heading in the opposite direction after four defeats in five, and those two are still in huge trouble along with Valladolid
LaLiga relegation odds
- Espanyol - 1/7
- Real Mallorca - 1/3
- Leganes - 8/15
- Eibar - 9/4
- Valladolid - 3/1
- Celta Vigo - 10/3
LaLiga stats & trends for betting
Lionel Messi is pretty good, and since Cristiano Ronaldo left town he's now the undisputed sheriff of LaLiga and shows no signs of slowing down - scoring 19 in 22 games and throwing in 12 assists for good measure.
He leads the league in both stats and will certainly win the Pichichi as the league's top scorer for a fourth straight year and seventh time in all. It could be his lowest league total for a while though, as he needs a goal a game to break the 30-goal mark for the fourth straight season - and the ninth time in 11.
So if we stay away from Messi then let's head to Madrid and Real's continually underrated Karim Benzema, who is second in the scoring charts with 14 but eye-catchingly with seven of those being the first goal in the game.
Athletic Bilbao frontman Raul Garcia makes his goals count even more - he's only got nine this season but six of those have been the first goal of the game. That's the same number as Messi so he's another one to watch for in the first goalscorer wagers.
Miserly Madrid
It's hard to find the back of the net as a visitor to the Spanish capital, but it's not just Simeone's Atletico putting the shutters up at the back, with Real and surprise package Getafe also keeping it tight - these sides have three of the four best defences in the division.
An underrated facet of Real Madrid's game this season has been their defending, they're grinding out Atletico Madrid numbers rather than playing the kind of free-wheeling Galacticos football we've seen in years gone by.
Zidane's side actually have the best defence in LaLiga, conceding just 19 goals in 27 games so far this season, with 13 clean sheets resulting in nine 'wins to nil' so far. That's one fewer than Getafe though, who have turned 12 clean sheets into 10 'wins to nil' and were the joint kings of that category alongside Sevilla - until their opening night win over Betis.
