Saturday's La Liga predictions including Alaves vs. Barcelona

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


Valencia vs. Almeria (Saturday, 1.00pm)

Valencia will be aiming to return to winning ways in Spain's top flight when they welcome basement side Almeria to Mestalla on Saturday afternoon.

The hosts will enter this match off the back of a 2-0 defeat at Atletico Madrid, while Almeria, who are still without a league success this term, suffered a 3-0 loss to Alaves in their last game at this level.

We say: Valencia 1-0 Almeria


Almeria's winless run in La Liga is going to end at some stage, and they are capable of causing the better sides in the division problems, as shown against Real Madrid. Valencia will be determined to return to winning ways on Saturday, though, and we are expecting them to secure all three points.

Granada vs. Las Palmas (Saturday, 3.15pm)

Las Palmas will be bidding to return to winning ways in Spain's top flight when they travel to Nuevo Estadio de Los Carmenes on Saturday afternoon to tackle Granada.

The visitors will enter the contest off the back of a 2-1 defeat to Real Madrid, while relegation-threatened Granada suffered a 2-0 loss to Getafe in their last match at this level of football.

We say: Granada 1-1 Las Palmas


This has not been a fixture that has brought many draws in the past, with their last stalemate coming in the Segunda Division in March 2019. Las Palmas are having a strong season, but Granada are capable of causing any side in the division problems, and we can see the points being shared here.

Alaves vs. Barcelona (Saturday, 5.30pm)

Barcelona will be bidding to make it back-to-back victories in La Liga when they continue their campaign away to Alaves on Saturday evening.

Xavi's side, who are fourth in the table, will enter the contest off the back of a 1-0 win over Osasuna, while an in-form Alaves beat basement side Almeria 3-0 last time out.

We say: Alaves 1-2 Barcelona


This is a really hard match to call, especially considering Alaves' strong form, and we would not be shocked to see a home win or a draw here. Barcelona need to keep picking up wins in order to stay in the title picture, though, and we are backing them to navigate their way to a vital three points.

Girona will go in search of their 18th La Liga victory of what has been an extraordinary campaign when they welcome Real Sociedad to Estadi Montilivi on Saturday afternoon.

The home side are currently top of the table, one point clear of second-placed Real Madrid, while Real Sociedad sit in sixth position, two points ahead of seventh-placed Real Betis.

We say: Girona 2-1 Real Sociedad


If Real Sociedad were at full strength for this match, we would be backing the visitors to claim a point, but they will once again be missing some important players, and we are expecting Girona to navigate their way to yet another three points in Spain's top flight.
