Saturday's La Liga predictions including Barcelona vs. Atletico Madrid

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


Getafe vs. Mallorca (Saturday, 1.00pm)

Mallorca will be aiming to make it back-to-back wins in Spain's top flight when they continue their campaign with a clash against Getafe in the Spanish capital on Saturday afternoon.

The visitors are currently sixth in the La Liga table, boasting 27 points from their opening 18 matches of the season, while Getafe sit 16th, just one point outside of the relegation zone.

We say: Getafe 0-0 Mallorca


Getafe are so difficult to score against at home, but they find it tough down the other end of the field; it would not be a surprise to see a narrow win either way here, but we just have a feeling that the points will be shared in a goalless draw.

Celta Vigo vs. Real Sociedad (Saturday, 3.15pm)

Real Sociedad will be aiming to return to winning ways in La Liga when they travel to Celta Vigo on Saturday afternoon.

The Basque outfit drew 0-0 with Las Palmas last time out, and they currently sit seventh in the La Liga table, boasting 25 points from 17 matches, while 13th-placed Celta suffered a 1-0 defeat to Sevilla in their last match.

We say: Celta Vigo 1-1 Real Sociedad


Two of the last three La Liga meetings between the two sides have finished level, and we are expecting a close match on Saturday. Real Sociedad will be looking for the win to boost their European hopes, but Celta have been strong in front of their own fans this season, and we are expecting the points to be shared this weekend.

Athletic Bilbao will be bidding to return to winning ways in Spain's top flight when they head to El Sadar Stadium on Saturday evening to tackle Osasuna.

Ernesto Valverde's side, who are fourth in the La Liga table, were held to a goalless draw by Alaves last time out, while eighth-placed Osasuna will enter the clash off the back of a 0-0 draw with Espanyol.

We say: Osasuna 1-2 Athletic Bilbao


Athletic will be aiming to make it back-to-back away successes over Osasuna, but it is a big ask against the hosts, who have lost just once in front of their own fans this term; Athletic are a classy outfit, though, and we are backing them to edge this contest.

Barcelona vs. Atletico (Saturday, 8.00pm)

Level on points (38) at the top of the La Liga table, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid will lock horns in a huge game on Saturday evening, with any potential winner guaranteeing themselves first position in the division heading into 2025.

Barcelona are at the summit due to their superior goal difference, but Atletico, who have a game in hand on the division leaders, are the form team entering this contest, with Diego Simeone's side on an incredible 11-game winning run in all competitions.

We say: Barcelona 1-1 Atletico Madrid


This is such a difficult match to call; it would not be a surprise to see a home or indeed an away win on Saturday, but both managers would view a point as a solid result, and a very tight match could end with the points being shared here, opening the door for Real Madrid to finish the year at the top of the division.
