Saturday's La Liga predictions including Mallorca vs. Barcelona

Sports Mole provides score predictions for all of Saturday's La Liga action, including Mallorca versus champions and leaders Barcelona.


Espanyol vs. Alaves (Saturday, 1.00pm)

Espanyol will be looking to boost their La Liga survival hopes when they resume their 2019-20 campaign with a home game against Alaves on Saturday afternoon.

The Catalan outfit are currently rock bottom of the table on 20 points, six points from the safety of 17th position, while Alaves occupy 14th spot ahead of their return to action.

We say: Espanyol 1-1 Alaves


The two teams are well-matched on paper, and both will enter the match feeling that they can pick up all three points. We are struggling to separate them, though, have therefore backed a low-scoring draw.

Celta Vigo vs. Villarreal (Saturday, 4.00pm)

Celta Vigo will be looking to extend their unbeaten run in La Liga to six matches when they resume their 2019-20 campaign at home to Villarreal on Saturday afternoon.

The Sky Blues are currently just above the relegation zone in 17th spot but will enter this match in better form than a Villarreal side that occupy eighth position in the table.

We say: Celta Vigo 1-2 Villarreal


Celta had been in better form than Villarreal before the lockdown period, but it is difficult to know how both teams are going to adapt to the circumstances surrounding the return of competitive action. On paper, Villarreal have the superior side, and we fancy the away team's extra quality to prevail in this game.

Leganes vs. Real Valladolid (Saturday, 6.30pm)

Two teams involved in the relegation battle in Spain's top flight will lock horns on Saturday evening as Leganes welcome Real Valladolid to the Estadio Municipal de Butarque.

Leganes are currently 19th in La Liga, six points behind 15th-placed Valladolid as the 2019-20 campaign prepares to resume following more than three months without a game.

We say: Leganes 1-1 Real Valladolid


There is no downplaying the importance of this match to both teams as they look to move clear of trouble. A case can certainly be made for either to win it, but we are finding it hard to separate them and have therefore backed a low-scoring draw, which is not what either manager will have in mind.

Barcelona will be looking to consolidate their spot at the top of La Liga when they resume their 2019-20 campaign away to struggling Mallorca on Saturday night.

The Spanish champions are currently two points clear of Real Madrid at the summit, while Mallorca occupy 18th position, one point from the safety of 17th ahead of the return of Spain's top flight.

We say: Mallorca 0-2 Barcelona


It is difficult to predict exactly what will occur due to the circumstances surrounding the contest, but Barca will fancy their chances of picking up an important three points. Suarez's expected return is big news for the champions, who should have enough to emerge victorious on the night.
