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

sportsmole.co.uk, 24 April 2021, 05:55
Elche vs. Levante (Saturday, 1.00pm)

Elche will be looking to move out of the La Liga relegation zone when they welcome an out-of-form Levante to Estadio Manuel Martinez Valero on Saturday afternoon.

The home side are currently 19th in the table, one point behind 17th-placed Real Valladolid, while Levante, who have lost four of their last five in the league, occupy 12th spot.

We say: Elche 1-1 Levante

Elche have only been beaten four times in the league at home this season, which is a strong record considering their position in the table. Levante are struggling for results at the moment, meanwhile, and we can see the hosts picking up a share of the spoils this weekend.

Real Valladolid vs. Cadiz (Saturday, 3.15pm)

Relegation-threatened Real Valladolid will be looking to record their first La Liga victory since the start of March when they welcome Cadiz to Estadio Municipal Jose Zorrilla on Saturday afternoon.

Valladolid are currently 17th in the table, one point clear of 18th-placed Huesca, while Cadiz occupy 13th spot in Spain's top flight, nine points ahead of the bottom three.

We say: Real Valladolid 1-1 Cadiz

This is a very tough match for Valladolid, with Cadiz picking up some standout results in La Liga this season. A defeat would be harmful for the home side at this stage of the campaign, but we believe that Sergio's side will have enough to claim a share of the spoils on Saturday afternoon.

Valencia vs. Alaves (Saturday, 5.30pm)

Valencia will be looking to end a run of four La Liga games without a victory when they continue their domestic campaign at home to Alaves on Saturday evening.

Los Che, who suffered a 3-1 defeat at Osasuna on Wednesday, are currently 14th in the table, eight points clear of the relegation zone, while Alaves occupy 16th position in Spain's top flight.

We say: Valencia 2-2 Alaves

Valencia, despite their troubles this term, have a squad full of talent, one which is capable of triumphing in any match at this level of football. Alaves have been impressive under their new head coach, though, and we are backing the visitors to secure a share of the spoils at Mestalla.

Real Madrid vs. Real Betis (Saturday, 8.00pm)

Real Madrid will be looking to make it back-to-back wins in Spain's top flight when they continue their domestic campaign at home to high-flying Real Betis on Saturday night.

Los Blancos, who are currently top of the La Liga table, will enter the match off the back of a 3-0 victory at Cadiz, while Betis occupy fifth position, level on points with sixth-placed Villarreal.

We say: Real Madrid 2-1 Real Betis

Betis are more than capable of making this a very, very difficult match for Madrid, who have had a lot of distractions off the field this week. Los Blancos were excellent against Cadiz on Wednesday, though, and we are expecting them to put another three points on the board this weekend.
