Saturday's La Liga predictions including Atletico Madrid vs. Athletic Bilbao

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


Las Palmas vs. Girona (Saturday, 1.00pm)

Girona will head to an out-of-form Las Palmas outfit in La Liga on Saturday afternoon knowing that a victory would see them move above Barcelona and into second position in the table.

The visitors are having a remarkable campaign, with a spot in next season's Champions League close to being secured, while Las Palmas sit in 13th position, 12 points above the relegation zone.

We say: Las Palmas 1-2 Girona


Girona's poor run of away form will end at some stage, and we are backing that to be this weekend. Las Palmas have lost their way over the last few weeks, and we are expecting a fired-up Girona outfit to navigate their way to a hugely-important three points on Saturday afternoon.

Almeria vs. Getafe (Saturday, 3.15pm)

Almeria will enter Saturday's La Liga contest against Getafe knowing that anything less than a victory would see them relegated to the Segunda Division with five games of the season still to play.

The home side are rock bottom of the table on 14 points, 17 points from the safety of 17th position, and they have to win against 10th-placed Getafe to stand a chance of taking their survival fight to another game.

We say: Almeria 1-1 Getafe


Almeria have only won once in the league this season, and that success came on their travels. It is so difficult to back them to pick up all three points in any match, and Getafe have drawn eight times on the road this season, which is the highest in the division. We can see another stalemate here, which would confirm Almeria's relegation with five games left.

Alaves vs. Celta Vigo (Saturday, 5.30pm)

Celta Vigo will be bidding to give their survival hopes another huge boost when they continue their La Liga campaign against Alaves at Mendizorrotza Stadium on Saturday evening.

The visitors are 17th in the table, six points ahead of 18th-placed Cadiz, while Alaves occupy 14th postiion, 10 points clear of the relegation zone heading into the final straight.

We say: Alaves 1-1 Celta Vigo


Alaves have only lost six of their 16 home league matches this season, and this will not be an easy game for Celta. The Sky Blues have won five of their last six meetings in Spain's top flight, but we are expecting the points to be shared on Saturday evening.

Atletico vs. Athletic Bilbao (Saturday, 8.00pm)

Atletico Madrid will be bidding to bounce back from successive defeats when they welcome Athletic Bilbao to Wanda Metropolitano on Saturday night for a huge match in La Liga.

Diego Simeone's side are currently fourth in the table, three points ahead of fifth-placed Athletic Bilbao, with the two teams seemingly locked in a head-to-head battle for a Champions League spot.

We say: Atletico Madrid 1-1 Athletic Bilbao


Athletic really have to avoid defeat here if they are to stay in the top-four race, but it will be difficult considering Atletico's excellent home record this season. We were close to backing a narrow success for Simeone's side but have ultimately settled on a 1-1 draw, which would not be a bad result for either side.
