Saturday's La Liga predictions including Atletico Madrid vs. Sevilla

Getafe vs. Girona (Saturday, 1.00pm)

Girona will be bidding to make it three La Liga victories in a row when they travel to Getafe on Saturday.

The visitors, who have risen into 11th spot in the table, will enter the contest off the back of a 3-2 victory over Athletic Bilbao, while 19th-placed Getafe suffered a 2-1 defeat at Villarreal last time out.

We say: Getafe 1-1 Girona

Girona will enter this match in excellent form, but they have only won twice on their travels in the league this season, so it is difficult to back them with any real confidence. Getafe are better than what they have shown for much of the campaign, and we are tipping the hosts to secure a share of the spoils here.

Almeria vs. Villarreal (Saturday, 3.15pm)

Almeria will be bidding to build on their impressive victory over Barcelona when they continue their La Liga campaign at home to Villarreal on Saturday afternoon.

Rubi's side were 1-0 winners over the league leaders on Sunday night, while Villarreal ended a four-game losing streak by recording a 2-1 victory over Getafe last time out.

We say: Almeria 1-1 Villarreal

Almeria's home form has been so impressive this season, but Villarreal will be determined to prove that they are over their recent run of disappointing results. It would not be a surprise to see a home or indeed an away victory, but we just have a feeling that the points will be shared here.

Mallorca vs. Elche (Saturday, 5.30pm)

Elche will be bidding to record just their second La Liga victory of the season when they make the trip to Mallorca on Saturday evening.

The visitors are currently rock bottom of the table, 15 points from the safety of 17th position, while Mallorca sit 10th, eight points clear of the relegation zone heading into the next set of fixtures.

We say: Mallorca 2-0 Elche

Mallorca's home form has been excellent in recent months, recording five straight victories, keeping clean sheets in four of those matches. Elche, on the other hand, have the worst away record in the league this season, so we are fully expecting Mallorca to secure all three points here.

Atletico vs. Sevilla (Saturday, 8.00pm)

Atletico Madrid will be bidding to stretch their unbeaten run in La Liga to eight matches when they welcome Sevilla to Wanda Metropolitano on Saturday night.

Diego Simeone's side will enter the match off the back of a 1-1 draw with Real Madrid in the Madrid derby, while Sevilla suffered a 3-2 home defeat to Osasuna last time out.

We say: Atletico Madrid 1-0 Sevilla

Sevilla are clearly a lot better than they have shown for much of the season, but this is a very difficult match for Sampaoli's side. Atletico have not been in top form at Wanda Metropolitano in 2022-23, but the Red and Whites impressed at Bernabeu last weekend, and we are expecting them to secure all three points here.
