Saturday's La Liga predictions including Barcelona vs. Elche

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


Mallorca vs. Almeria (Saturday, 1.00pm)

Mallorca will be bidding to bounce back from their heavy defeat at Real Madrid when they continue their 2022-23 La Liga campaign against Almeria on Saturday afternoon.

The home side suffered a 4-1 loss to reigning champions Los Blancos last time out, while Almeria have been beaten in their last two, including a 1-0 reverse to Osasuna on September 12.

We say: Mallorca 1-1 Almeria


There is not an awful lot between these two teams in terms of quality, and we are finding it difficult to separate them here. Mallorca have home advantage, but Almeria have shown positives early in the campaign, and we are backing the points to be shared in a low-scoring draw.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Barcelona vs. Elche (Saturday, 3.15pm)

Barcelona will be looking to make it five La Liga victories in a row when they continue their domestic campaign at home to an out-of-form Elche side on Saturday afternoon.

The Catalan outfit are currently second in the table, two points behind the leaders Real Madrid, while Elche are down in 19th, having only picked up one point from their first five games of the season.

We say: Barcelona 3-0 Elche


Elche only narrowly lost (3-2) at Camp Nou last season, but it is difficult to imagine them causing Barcelona too many problems on Saturday afternoon. The home side's recent league form has been excellent, and we are fully expecting them to put another three points on the board here in comfortable fashion.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

Valencia vs. Celta Vigo (Saturday, 5.30pm)

Both Valencia and Celta Vigo will be bidding to bounce back from defeats when they continue their respective La Liga campaigns with a clash at Mestalla on Saturday evening.

The home side, who are 12th in the table, will enter the contest off the back of a 2-1 loss at Rayo Vallecano, while 10th-placed Celta suffered a 4-1 defeat to Atletico Madrid last time out.

We say: Valencia 1-1 Celta Vigo


There has not been a La Liga draw between these two sides since September 2018, but we just have a feeling that the points will be shared here. Both managers will be slightly cautious considering their results last time out, and a tense affair at Mestalla could potentially finish 1-1.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Athletic Bilbao vs. Rayo Vallecano (Saturday, 8.00pm)

Athletic Bilbao will be aiming to record their fourth La Liga victory of the campaign when they welcome Rayo Vallecano to San Mames on Saturday night.

Ernesto Valverde's side are currently sixth in the table, boasting 10 points from their opening five matches, while Rayo are ninth, having picked up seven points during a solid start to the season.

We say: Athletic Bilbao 2-1 Rayo Vallecano


Rayo deserve credit for their start to the season, and they have already put in strong away performances at Barcelona and Espanyol this term. Athletic are generally strong in front of their own fans, though, and we are expecting the Basque outfit to put another three points on the board here.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.
