In an exciting weekend of La Liga action, several intriguing matchups await. Let’s take a closer look at the upcoming games and provide our predictions.
Athletic Bilbao vs. Cadiz (Saturday, 1.00pm)
Two teams off to promising starts in the 2023-24 La Liga season will clash as Athletic Bilbao host Cadiz at San Mames.
Athletic sits fifth in the table, having collected seven points from their first four matches, while Cadiz holds the sixth spot with the same number of points.
Our prediction for this match is Athletic Bilbao’s triumph with a 2-1 scoreline. With Inaki Williams and Nico Williams in fine form, the home side is expected to pose significant challenges to Cadiz, ultimately securing all three points.
Valencia vs. Atletico (Saturday, 3.15pm)
Valencia’s Mestalla Stadium will witness a thrilling encounter between Valencia and Atletico Madrid. Valencia currently occupies the 11th position, having accumulated six points from their opening four matches.
On the other hand, Atletico Madrid sits fourth in the table, boasting seven points from three games this season.
Our prediction for this match is a narrow victory for Atletico Madrid, with a 1-0 scoreline. Atletico’s impressive recent performance against Rayo showcases their quality, while Valencia’s form has been disappointing in their last two matches.
Celta Vigo vs. Mallorca (Saturday, 5.30pm)
Celta Vigo aims to secure back-to-back wins in La Liga as they face off against Mallorca at home.
Celta Vigo emerged victorious with a 3-2 scoreline against Almeria prior to the international break, while Mallorca played out a goalless draw with Athletic Bilbao in their last match.
Our prediction for this encounter is a 1-1 draw. Although there has been a lack of draws in recent meetings, we believe both teams will share the spoils on Saturday.
While Mallorca seeks their first win of the season, Celta Vigo’s strength should prevent them from suffering defeat in front of their home supporters.
Barcelona vs. Betis (Saturday, 8.00pm)
An exciting clash awaits as Barcelona, aiming for their fourth consecutive La Liga victory, welcomes Real Betis to Camp Nou.
Barcelona currently sits third in the table, having accumulated 10 points from their first four matches. Real Betis, in seventh place, boasts seven points from their opening four games.
Our prediction for this match is a 2-1 victory for Barcelona. The Catalan giants face a tough challenge, but with an exciting front three featuring Yamal, Felix, and Lewandowski, they possess the firepower to secure all three points.
