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

Sevilla v Granada

Where to watch

La Liga TV, 8pm Saturday

Best bet

Sevilla to win 2-0
1pt 5-1 bet365, Sky Bet

Match preview

Sevilla were unlucky not to leave the Bernabeu with a point last weekend but Casemiro's strike sent them to a 2-1 defeat. They will be confident of getting back on track with a home win against Granada.

Julen Lopetegui's side occupy the final Champions League spot, two points ahead of Getafe, as they look to finish in the top four for the first time since 2016-17.

Granada are struggling away and have collected only eight points from a possible 30 on the road on their return to La Liga this season. Sevilla should get over the line.

Key stat

Granada have failed to score in their last four away league matches.

Alaves v Villarreal

Where to watch

La Liga TV, 5.30pm Saturday

Best bet

Alaves
1pt 7-4 general

Match preview

Alaves's 1-0 win away at Levante was their first league victory in six games. They will be hopeful of making it back-to-back triumphs when inconsistent Villarreal visit.

Villarreal's defeat at home to bottom club Espanyol last weekend was their worst performance of the season but head coach Javier Calleja still believes they can make a charge for the European places.

They will need some serious improvement to achieve that goal and Alaves could go one better than in their previous two home games which resulted in draws against Leganes and Real Betis.

Key stat

There has not been a draw in this fixture since October 2005.

Espanyol v Athletic Bilbao

Where to watch

La Liga TV, midday Saturday

Best bet

Under 2.5 goals
1pt 8-15 bet365

Match preview

Espanyol's nine-game winless streak finally ended with an away success against Villarreal last weekend.

The result has moved them to within four points of safety and they will now be chasing a first home victory of the season.

Opponents Athletic Bilbao have drawn their last four league matches to fall out of the European places.

Gaizka Garitano has called on his side to improve their strike-rate as Bilbao have scored only 21 goals this season. Only the three teams in the relegation zone have scored fewer and this could be a cagey affair.

Key stat

Only Real Madrid (13) have conceded fewer goals than Athletic Bilbao (14).
