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

Celta Vigo vs. Las Palmas (Saturday, 1.00pm)

Celta Vigo's battle to remain outside of the La Liga relegation zone will continue on Saturday afternoon, when they welcome an out-of-form Las Palmas outfit to Vigo.

The home side are currently 17th in the La Liga table, just three points ahead of 18th-placed Cadiz, while Las Palmas sit 12th, 12 points ahead of the bottom three.

We say: Celta Vigo 1-1 Las Palmas

There has only been one draw in the last six La Liga meetings between these two sides, but we can see the points being shared this weekend. Celta have been poor at home this term, but Las Palmas are not particularly strong on their travels, and we are predicting a low-scoring draw here.

Rayo Vallecano vs. Osasuna (Saturday, 3.15pm)

Relegation-threatened Rayo Vallecano will be aiming to stretch their unbeaten run in La Liga to four matches when they welcome Osasuna to Campo de Futbol de Vallecas on Saturday afternoon.

The home side are currently 16th in the table, only six points clear of the relegation zone, while Osasuna occupy 11th position, eight points ahead of their opponents in this weekend's contest.

We say: Rayo Vallecano 1-1 Osasuna

This is a really tough match to call, but the signs are pointing to a stalemate here. Rayo have shared the points in eight of their 15 home league fixtures this term, including draws in three of their last four, and we can see a close fixture ending 1-1 on Saturday afternoon.

Valencia vs. Betis (Saturday, 5.30pm)

Mestalla will play host to an intriguing contest in La Liga on Saturday evening, as Valencia welcome Real Betis, with both sides in the battle for a European finish in Spain's top flight.

Valencia currently sit seventh in the La Liga table, three points behind sixth-placed Real Sociedad, while Real Betis are eighth, two points from their opponents this weekend.

We say: Valencia 2-1 Real Betis

Real Betis have dropped points in 12 of their 15 away league games this season, while Valencia have posted eight wins at Mestalla in Spain's top flight in 2023-24. Los Che are in strong form, and we are expecting the six-time Spanish champions to navigate their way to an important three points.

Girona vs. Cadiz (Saturday, 8.00pm)

Girona will be bidding to return to winning ways in Spain's top flight when they welcome relegation-threatened Cadiz to Estadi Montilivi on Saturday evening.

The home side are currently third in the La Liga table, four points ahead of fourth-placed Atletico Madrid, while Cadiz occupy 18th, three points behind 17th-placed Celta Vigo with seven games left.

We say: Girona 2-0 Cadiz

Girona's home form has been so strong this season, and we are finding it very difficult to back Cadiz to pick up a positive result considering their away struggles in 2023-24. Cadiz are capable of making it a tricky match for the hosts, but we are expecting Michel's side to triumph in routine fashion.
