La Liga: free football tips & predictions for Saturday's Spanish games

Free football tips, best bets and analysis for Saturday's Spanish La Liga games including Real Mallorca v Real Madrid, Getafe v Leganes & Eibar v Barcelona.

Real Mallorca v Real Madrid

Where to watch

Premier Sports, 8pm Saturday

Best bet

Real Madrid to win & over 2.5 goals
1pt 23-20 BoyleSports

Match preview

Real Mallorca remain 5-6 favourites for relegation in La Liga and life is unlikely to get any easier for the top flight's new boys when they host Real Madrid.

Los Blancos have been unimpressive in the Champions League but Zinedine Zidane has been buying time with recent results, taking four points from trips to Sevilla and Atletico Madrid.

A front three of Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema and Eden Hazard is full of goals, as the 4-2 win over Granada last time out demonstrated, and they can run out convincing winners.

Key stat

Mallorca have lost three of their last four games.

Getafe v Leganes

Where to watch

Premier Sports, 5.30pm Saturday

Best bet

Getafe
1pt 10-11 Betway

Match preview

Leganes are a shade of odds-on for the drop in La Liga, having failed to win any of their opening eight games, and they look vulnerable away to Getafe.

The distraction of the Europa League has seen the hosts accrue only ten points from their first eight fixtures but recent results have been better.

Getafe came from behind to beat Real Sociedad away after taking a point off Valencia in a 3-3 thriller at the Mestalla and the likes of Jaime Mata and Jorge Molina provide them with plenty of quality in the final third.

Key stat

Leganes have taken one point from their three league games on the road.

Eibar v Barcelona

Where to watch

Premier Sports, midday Saturday

Best bet

Barcelona to win & under 4.5 goals
1pt 21-20 Coral

Match preview

Barcelona have got their mojo back in La Liga and can make it five successive wins in all competitions with victory at the division's smallest venue.

The Ipurua, holding only 7,083, has played host to Eibar's two league wins this season but the Catalan giants are a cut above their scalps Sevilla and Celta Vigo.

Barca destroyed Sevilla 4-0 in their last home match and, although the return of Lionel Messi enhances their threat in the final third, they still have just the one away win to their name.

They should make that two against Eibar but punters should expect a narrow success.

Key stat

Both teams have scored in only one of Barcelona's four away league matches.
