Saturday's La Liga predictions including Osasuna vs. Real Madrid

Mallorca vs. Granada (Saturday, 1.00pm)

Granada's battle to escape the relegation zone in Spain's top flight will continue on Saturday afternoon, with the Andalusian outfit heading to Palma to tackle Mallorca.

The visitors are currently 19th in the La Liga table, 10 points from the safety of 17th position, while Mallorca occupy 15th spot, five points ahead of 18th-placed Cadiz.

We say: Mallorca 1-0 Granada

Granada's away form this season has been incredibly poor, and we are struggling to make a case for them in this match. Mallorca are in need of the points to keep themselves above the relegation zone, and we are expecting the home side to navigate their way to an important three points in front of their own supporters.

Osasuna vs. Real Madrid (Saturday, 3.15pm)

Real Madrid will be aiming to secure their 22nd La Liga victory of the 2023-24 campaign when they make the trip to Estadio El Sadar on Saturday afternoon to tackle Osasuna.

Los Blancos are currently top of the table, seven points ahead of second-placed Girona, while Osasuna occupy 10th position, seven points behind sixth-placed Real Sociedad.

We say: Osasuna 1-2 Real Madrid

This has the potential to be a very difficult match for Real Madrid, and both Girona and Barcelona will be looking for a favour from Osasuna. It would not be a surprise to see a draw here, but we just have a feeling that Ancelotti's side will be able to navigate their way to another big three points in the title race.

Getafe vs. Girona (Saturday, 5.30pm)

Title-challenging Girona will be bidding to make it back-to-back wins in Spain's top flight when they continue their campaign away to Getafe on Saturday evening.

The visitors are currently second in the La Liga table, seven points behind division leaders Real Madrid, while Getafe occupy 12th spot, eight points off sixth-placed Real Sociedad.

We say: Getafe 2-2 Girona

This is a really tough match to call; Getafe have been strong at home this season, losing just twice, while Girona have been impressive on their travels but have lost their last three. It would not be a surprise to see a home or indeed an away win, but we have had to settle on a share of the spoils here.

Athletic Bilbao vs. Alaves (Saturday, 8.00pm)

Athletic Bilbao will be bidding to make it successive victories in Spain's top flight when they continue their campaign at home to fellow Basque outfit Alaves on Saturday night.

The hosts, who are fifth in the La Liga table, recorded a 2-0 win over Las Palmas last time out, while Alaves will enter the contest off the back of a 1-0 success over Rayo Vallecano.

We say: Athletic Bilbao 2-0 Alaves

Alaves deserve huge praise for their performance level this season, and the visitors certainly have the ability to make this an uncomfortable match for Athletic. The hosts need to keep winning to stay in the top-four picture, though, and we are backing them to secure all three points on Saturday night.
