Saturday's La Liga predictions including Cadiz vs. Barcelona

Rayo Vallecano vs. Valencia (Saturday, 1.00pm)

Valencia will be looking to build on their thumping victory last time out when they continue their La Liga campaign away to Rayo Vallecano on Saturday afternoon.

Los Che recorded a 5-1 win over Getafe last Sunday to move into 10th spot in the table, while Rayo will enter the contest off the back of a 2-1 defeat at Osasuna.

We say: Rayo Vallecano 1-1 Valencia

Five of the last seven La Liga meetings between these two sides have finished level, and we are backing another draw here. Valencia will be full of confidence due to their strong win last time out, but we believe that Rayo have enough quality to secure a point in front of their own supporters.

Espanyol vs. Sevilla (Saturday, 3.15pm)

Sevilla's search for their first victory of the 2022-23 campaign will continue on Saturday afternoon when they make the trip to RCDE Stadium to take on Espanyol.

The visitors are currently 17th in the table, boasting just one point from their first four league matches, while Espanyol occupy 15th, having picked up four points from as many games this term.

We say: Espanyol 1-1 Sevilla

Espanyol will be feeling good about themselves following their win at Athletic, but the same cannot be said for Sevilla, who are struggling at the moment. Teams often find results when they need it most, though, and while we are not backing an away victory, we believe that Sevilla have enough to claim a welcome point.

Cadiz vs. Barcelona (Saturday, 5.30pm)

Title hopefuls Barcelona will be bidding to make it four straight La Liga victories when they make the trip to struggling Cadiz on Saturday evening.

The visitors will enter the match off the back of a 5-1 win over Viktoria Plzen in the Champions League on Wednesday, while Cadiz suffered a 3-0 defeat to Celta Vigo in the league last time out.

We say: Cadiz 0-3 Barcelona

Cadiz can take confidence from their recent record against Barcelona, but it is very, very difficult to back the home side to get something out of this match. Xavi's team are full of it at the moment, and we are expecting the visitors to be far too strong for their opponents this weekend.

Atletico vs. Celta Vigo (Saturday, 8.00pm)

Atletico Madrid will be looking to return to winning ways in La Liga when they welcome Celta Vigo to Wanda Metropolitano on Saturday night.

Diego Simeone's side will enter the match off the back of a 2-1 victory over Porto in the Champions League, while Celta were 3-0 winners over Cadiz in La Liga last time out.

We say: Atletico Madrid 2-1 Celta Vigo

Celta will be the fresher of the two teams heading into this match, and the visitors are certainly capable of picking up a positive result on Saturday. It is hard to back against Atletico in front of their own supporters, though, and we are expecting Simeone's side to collect all three points with a narrow win.
