As the 2023-24 La Liga season continues, exciting matches are lined up for Saturday, with Barcelona taking on Celta Vigo as the highlight of the day. Let’s explore the upcoming clashes and our expert predictions.
Girona vs. Mallorca (Saturday, 1.00pm)
At Estadi Montilivi, Girona will aim to extend their incredible start to the season when they face Mallorca.
Girona currently sits third in the table, just two points behind Real Madrid, with an impressive 13 points from their opening five matches.
Meanwhile, Mallorca holds the 15th spot, gathering five points from the same number of games.
Our prediction: Girona 1-1 Mallorca
Despite Girona’s strong performances, Mallorca has shown promise with recent wins, suggesting a closely contested match that could end in a draw.
Osasuna vs. Sevilla (Saturday, 3.15pm)
After their Champions League encounter during midweek, Sevilla will travel to face Osasuna in Spain’s top flight.
Osasuna, currently in 12th position, has accumulated six points from five league games.
On the other hand, Sevilla finds themselves in 17th place, having secured only three points from their first four matches.
Our prediction: Osasuna 1-1 Sevilla
Sevilla’s inconsistency makes it difficult to predict their performance, but Osasuna’s determined play should keep them from losing. A score draw seems likely at Estadio El Sadar.
Barcelona vs. Celta Vigo (Saturday, 5.30pm)
Barcelona, aiming for their sixth consecutive win across all competitions, will host Celta Vigo in a highly anticipated La Liga clash.
With 13 points from five games, Barcelona sits just two points behind Real Madrid in second place, while Celta occupies the 16th position after collecting four points in their opening matches.
Our prediction: Barcelona 2-0 Celta Vigo
Barcelona’s exceptional form makes it hard to envision anything other than a victory for the home side.
Although Celta may provide resistance, Xavi’s team should prove too strong for their opponents.
Almeria vs. Valencia (Saturday, 8.00pm)
Following their impressive triumph over Atletico Madrid, Valencia will face struggling Almeria away from home.
Valencia’s confidence is high after a remarkable 3-0 win against Atletico, while Almeria, currently at the bottom of the table with just one point, suffered a 2-1 defeat at Villarreal.
Our prediction: Almeria 1-2 Valencia
Valencia’s sparkling performance against Atletico indicates they have what it takes to secure a narrow victory over Almeria.
Despite their talent, Almeria is struggling to find their rhythm, potentially leading to another defeat.
