Saturday's La Liga predictions including Elche vs. Barcelona

Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for all of today's La Liga fixtures, including Elche vs. Barcelona.


Girona vs. Espanyol (Saturday, 1.00pm)

Struggling Espanyol will be bidding to end a run of three successive defeats when they continue their La Liga campaign away to Catalan rivals Girona on Saturday afternoon.

The visitors are currently 17th in the table, just one point outside of the relegation zone, while Girona occupy 12th position, four points above their opponents in this contest.

We say: Girona 1-1 Espanyol


Espanyol have drawn five of their 13 away La Liga matches during the 2022-23 campaign, and we can see another draw in this contest. Both teams are in disappointing form, but a point apiece in the Catalan contest would not be the worst result in the world for either side.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.

Athletic Bilbao vs. Getafe (Saturday, 3.15pm)

Both Athletic Bilbao and Getafe will be bidding to make it back-to-back wins in La Liga when they continue their respective campaigns with a clash at San Mames on Saturday afternoon.

The home side recorded a 3-1 victory over Real Valladolid in their last match before the international break, while Getafe beat Sevilla 2-0 to move into 13th spot in the table.

We say: Athletic Bilbao 2-1 Getafe


This has all of the makings of a very interesting match, and it will be fascinating to see what develops on Saturday, especially considering Getafe's recent form. Athletic need to win to stay in touch with the top six, though, and we are just backing the hosts to navigate their way to an important three points.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.

Cadiz vs. Sevilla (Saturday, 5.30pm)

Jose Luis Mendilibar will officially begin life as Sevilla head coach on Saturday evening, with Los Nervionenses facing a trip to fellow La Liga strugglers Cadiz.

The visitors are currently 14th in the table, level on points with 15th-placed Cadiz, with both teams only two points clear of the relegation zone heading into the next set of fixtures in Spain's top flight.

We say: Cadiz 1-1 Sevilla


Cadiz have shared the points in each of their last three league matches, and we can see another draw here. Mendilibar will be looking to make the perfect start as Sevilla boss, but the Europa League quarter-finalists have only won twice away from home in the league this season, so a draw is the most likely outcome.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.

Elche vs. Barcelona (Saturday, 8.00pm)

Barcelona will be looking to open up a 15-point lead at the top of the La Liga table when they travel to bottom-of-the-division Elche on Saturday night.

The visitors entered the international break off the back of a 2-1 victory over Real Madrid at Camp Nou, while Elche suffered a 2-0 defeat at Real Sociedad, which left them rock bottom on 13 points.

We say: Elche 0-2 Barcelona


Barcelona will be missing a number of important players for this match, but we are still finding it incredibly difficult to back against a victory for the division leaders. It might be tight in terms of the scoreline, but the Catalan outfit should have too much quality for the team at the bottom of the table.

Our tipster partners are predicting an away win.
