Girona will be aiming to make it three straight wins in La Liga when they welcome Sevilla to Estadi Montilivi on Saturday afternoon.

The White and Reds are currently eighth in the La Liga table, picking up 28 points from their opening 19 matches of the campaign, while Sevilla occupy 13th, having collected 23 points from their first 19 games of 2024-25.

We say: Girona 2-1 Sevilla

Sevilla certainly have the players to make this a tricky encounter for Girona, and we are expecting it to be close in terms of the scoreline on Saturday afternoon. However, the Catalan outfit have enough quality to navigate their way to their ninth league success of the campaign.

Atletico Madrid will be aiming to make it 16 straight wins in all competitions when they head to Leganes in La Liga on Saturday afternoon.

Diego Simeone’s side are on an extraordinary run, which has helped them move to the top of the La Liga table, and the capital giants will be bidding to record their 14th league success of the campaign in this weekend’s clash with 16th-placed Leganes.

We say: Leganes 0-2 Atletico Madrid

Atletico are simply a winning machine at the moment, and we are finding it so difficult to back against them here; this will be the first La Liga meeting between the two teams at the home of Leganes since August 2019 – it was 1-0 to the Red and Whites on that occasion, and we are backing another success for the visitors on Saturday.

Real Betis will be aiming to bounce back from successive defeats when they host Alaves in La Liga on Saturday evening.

The home side, who are 10th in the La Liga table, were on the end of a 5-1 thumping by Barcelona in the last-16 stage of the Copa del Rey on Wednesday night, while 17th-placed Alaves will enter the contest off the back of a 1-0 home defeat to Girona in La Liga last weekend.

We say: Real Betis 2-1 Alaves

The last three La Liga matches between these two sides have finished level, including goalless draws in their last two outings; we are expecting this to be close in terms of the scoreline, but Real Betis’ strong home record, coupled with Alaves’ struggles on their travels, should mean that Pellegrini’s side pick up all three points.

Barcelona will be aiming to return to winning ways in Spain’s top flight when they head to Estadio Coliseum on Saturday evening to tackle a Getafe outfit that are currently towards the bottom of the La Liga table.

The Catalan giants have lost their last two in the league, which has led to them dropping to third spot in the division, but this will represent their first match in Spain’s top flight since December 21.

We say: Getafe 0-1 Barcelona

This is a tough match to call, and we are not expecting many goals considering the recent meetings and Getafe’s strong defensive record this term; Barcelona desperately need to win in order to stay in touch at the top of the division, though, and we are backing them to secure all three points at Estadio Coliseum.
