Free football tips, best bets and analysis for Saturday's Spanish La Liga games.

Getafe v Celta Vigo

Where to watch

LaLigaTV, 8pm

Best bet

Getafe to win & under 3.5 goals
1pt 5-4 BoyleSports

Match preview

While Getafe are balancing their Europa League campaign with the pursuit of a top-four berth, Celta Vigo are struggling to stay afloat in La Liga.

Built around a sturdy rearguard, Getafe have already managed six wins to nil in all competitions since the turn of the year, shutting out the likes of Ajax and Valencia.

Celta Vigo offer less in the final third than that duo, have drawn blanks in three of their last six matches and are worth opposing in what could be a low-scoring encounter.

Key stat

Celta Vigo have won only five La Liga games all season.


Barcelona v Real Sociedad

Where to watch

LaLigaTV, 5.30pm

Best bet

Barcelona to win & both teams to score
1pt 31-20 Coral

Match preview

Barcelona have been impenetrable on home soil in the league this season, winning 14 and drawing one of their 15 La Liga games at Camp Nou.

They saw off highflying Getafe and blew apart Eibar 5-0 in their last two home league contests and even a Real Sociedad side full of confidence after booking their place in the Copa del Rey final should fear the trip to Catalonia.

The Basque side have goals in them - they have scored 43 times in 25 league fixtures - and the attacking trio of Mikel Oyarzabal, Portu and Willian Jose should help them get on the scoresheet.

Key stat

Barcelona have kept only one clean sheet in their last seven contests.


Eibar v Real Mallorca

Where to watch

Midday, LaLigaTV

Best bet

Eibar
2pts 3-4 Betfair

Match preview

There has been no place like home for Eibar this term and the Basque side responded to their Barcelona walloping by beating Levante 3-0 at their Ipurua base.

Six of their seven league successes this season have come in their own backyard, where they have seen off Atletico Madrid and Sevilla, and Mallorca should represent a routine win.

Four defeats in their last six have dragged the visitors into the danger zone and they look set for more disappointment on the road.

Key stat

Mallorca have lost ten of their 12 away games in La Liga, drawing the other two.
