Cadiz will play host to Real Betis on Saturday in a game of major significance at both ends of the La Liga table.

The visitors will be aiming to boost their claim to climb back into the top four, while their opponents recently jumped out of the relegation zone.

We say: Cadiz 1-2 Real Betis

Given Cadiz's major improvements recently, we expect a close and intriguing encounter with Los Alviverdes having to fight hard for all three points.

Ultimately, we do expect Pellegrini's side to get over the line thanks to their superior experience and quality, but they should certainly expect a tough afternoon.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.

Mallorca vs. Atletico (Saturday, 3.15pm)

On the back of a Champions League defeat to Manchester City, Atletico Madrid will aim to bounce back and continue their fine league form on Saturday, when they make the trip to Mallorca.

A run of six straight victories has seen the defending champions climb back into the top three of the La Liga table, while their hosts sit in an unenviable position in the fight for survival.

We say: Mallorca 0-2 Atletico Madrid

Keen to bounce back from Tuesday's defeat and with their sights set on the top two, we see Atletico Madrid outclassing their hosts on Saturday, given their impressive run of form and Mallorca's lack of any momentum.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.

A key battle in the race for top six spots in the La Liga table will take place at El Madrigal on Saturday, as Villarreal host Athletic Bilbao.

The seventh-placed hosts currently sit one place and one point better off than their visitors while they come into the game on the back of a victory over Bayern Munich in their Champions League quarter-final tie.

We say: Villarreal 2-1 Athletic Bilbao

The Yellow Submarine will be full of confidence after their impressive victory in midweek, and we fancy them to take all three points in Saturday's six-pointer given the quality they boast throughout the pitch.

Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Real Madrid will be bidding to strengthen their grip on first position in the La Liga table when they welcome Getafe to Bernabeu on Saturday night.

Los Blancos are currently top of the pile, 12 points clear of second-placed Barcelona, while Getafe occupy 14th position, six points clear of the relegation zone with eight games left.

We say: Real Madrid 2-1 Getafe

Real Madrid have breathing space at the top of La Liga, but they will be determined to keep winning to hold off the threat of an emerging Barcelona side. Getafe are capable of making it difficult for Los Blancos, but we are expecting Ancelotti's side to secure all three points on Saturday night.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.
