Sunday's La Liga predictions including Barcelona vs. Athletic Bilbao

Sports Mole provides score predictions for all of Sunday's La Liga fixtures, including Barcelona vs. Athletic Bilbao.


Getafe vs. Alaves (Sunday, 1.00pm)

Getafe could make it three wins in four successive La Liga outings when they entertain relegation candidates Alaves at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez on Sunday afternoon.

Alaves, who are yet to show any signs of improvement under new boss Abelardo, have succumbed to four league defeats in as many games and will be desperate to come away from the capital with all three points.

We say: Getafe 3-1 Alaves


Neither of these sides are exactly performing well this season, but Getafe definitely look more capable of winning this clash than El Glorioso, and we think they will do it in style.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Cadiz vs. Atletico (Sunday, 3.15pm)

Atletico Madrid will make the trip to Andalusia this weekend knowing that a victory against Cadiz would make it eight wins in as many La Liga games, a true statement of intent for the title favourites.

Cadiz, who have blown hot and cold this season, will have to devise a masterplan to get the better of Atleti on Sunday. Diego Simeone's men have only been beaten once all season.

We say: Cadiz 0-2 Atletico Madrid


Cadiz play a good brand of football, but it is the type of attacking play that Atleti are more than capable of stamping out. We think Simeone's men will come away from Andalusia with another three points under their belt.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Granada vs. Celta Vigo (Sunday, 5.30pm)

Granada will host Celta Vigo this Sunday at the Nuevo Estadio de Los Carmenes knowing that three points could see them leapfrog Real Sociedad into 6th place.

Following a good spell over the festive period, Eduardo Coudet's Celta Vigo side have succumbed to another dip in form, picking up just one point in their last five La Liga outings. A win this weekend would take them as high as seventh in the standings.

We say: Granada 2-2 Celta Vigo


With both of these sides struggling for form at this stage of the campaign, Sunday's clash could turn out to be a bit of a dogfight. We do not think anything will be able to separate them, but the introduction of Iago Aspas late in the game may well prove us wrong.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Barcelona vs. Athletic Bilbao (Sunday, 8.00pm)

Barcelona will be looking to make it five La Liga victories in a row when they continue their 2020-21 campaign at home to a revitalised Athletic Bilbao on Sunday night.

Ronald Koeman's side have picked up 12 points from their last four matches to move into third position in the table, but they are still 10 points behind leaders Atletico Madrid, who also have a game in hand.

We say: Barcelona 2-1 Athletic Bilbao


Athletic's recent form cannot be ignored, and there is no question that the visitors will arrive at Camp Nou in a confident mood following five straight wins. Barca's form has also been impressive, though, and we just fancy Koeman's side to edge a tight contest on Sunday night.

Our tipster partners are predicting a home win.
