Saturday's La Liga predictions including Celta Vigo vs. Barcelona

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


Valencia vs. Betis (Saturday, 1.00pm)

Valencia will play their first game since the devastating DANA storm struck the region when they welcome Real Betis to Mestalla for Saturday's La Liga contest.

The hosts are languishing at the foot of the table with seven points to their name, while the visitors will head into the weekend in seventh position.

We say: Valencia 1-2 Real Betis


Betis will be looking to pick up from where they left off after putting together a seven-game unbeaten run before the international break, and we think that they will continue their fine spell of form by claiming a narrow win over a Valencia side that have lost six of their 11 league games this season.

Atletico Madrid will be aiming to make it five straight wins in all competitions when they continue their La Liga campaign against Alaves at Wanda Metropolitano on Saturday afternoon.

Diego Simeone's side are currently third in the La Liga table, one point behind second-placed Real Madrid and seven from the leaders Barcelona, while Alaves sit 15th, three points clear of the relegation zone.

We say: Atletico Madrid 2-0 Alaves


Alaves, despite their struggles on the road this season, are capable of making this an uncomfortable match for Atletico; Simeone's side are on a roll at the moment, though, and we are expecting them to keep another clean sheet in a routine home success.

Las Palmas vs. Mallorca (Saturday, 5.30pm)

An in-form Las Palmas will be aiming to make it five wins from their last six matches in all competitions when they continue their La Liga campaign at home to Mallorca on Saturday night.

Diego Martinez's side are currently 16th in the La Liga table, boasting 12 points from their opening 13 matches, while Mallorca have recently dropped to ninth following back-to-back defeats, with the team collecting 18 points from their first 13 games of the campaign.

We say: Las Palmas 1-1 Mallorca


The corresponding match during the 2023-24 campaign finished in a 1-1 draw, and we can see the same scoreline here; Las Palmas are winning a lot of games at the moment, but Mallorca are good enough to secure a share of the spoils on Saturday.

Girona will be bidding to make it three straight wins in La Liga for the first time this season when they welcome Espanyol to Estadi Montilivi on Saturday evening.

The Catalan outfit are currently 10th in the La Liga table, boasting 18 points from their opening 13 matches of the campaign, while Espanyol sit 18th, having picked up only 10 points from their first 12 matches of the season.

We say: Girona 2-1 Espanyol


Girona are missing so many players at the moment, but they are welcoming an Espanyol side that have struggled badly on their travels during the 2024-25 campaign, and we are expecting the hosts to record a narrow win to continue their strong form.

La Liga leaders Barcelona will be bidding to bounce back from a surprise defeat before the November international break when they resume their league campaign away to Celta Vigo on Saturday night.

Barcelona lost 1-0 to Real Sociedad last time out, but they are still six points clear of second-placed Real Madrid at the top of the La Liga table, while Celta drew 2-2 with Real Betis in their last match in Spain's top flight.

We say: Celta Vigo 1-2 Barcelona


Celta are more than capable of making this a tricky match for Barcelona, especially considering that they have won four of their seven home league matches this season, but Barcelona have the best away record in La Liga this term, winning six of their eight games, and we are predicting a narrow success for Flick's team.
