Barcelona may lead the way by seven points, but the La Liga title race is not a foregone conclusion and there is still plenty to be decided at both ends of the table in Spain's top-flight this season.
We have picked out four tips from the matches taking place on Saturday, with a four-fold accumulator giving odds of 8/1.
Our La Liga four-fold selections are priced up at 8/1:
Getafe v Girona - Both Teams to Score @ 21/20
Almeria or Draw Double Chance v Villarreal @ 4/6
Mallorca To Win v Elche @ 4/6
Atletico Madrid To Win v Sevilla @ 4/6
Odds were correct at time of writing and are subject to change.
What | Getafe v Girona |
Where | Coliseum Alfonso Perez |
When | 13.00, Saturday 4th March 2023 |
How to watch | European Soccer Live Streaming Highlights & Viaplay Sports 1 |
Odds | Getafe 7/4, Draw 2/1, Girona 9/5 |
Goals have been at a premium for Getafe in La Liga this season, but they have netted in each of their last four matches and can contribute to a high-scoring affair with Girona on Saturday.
It is fair to say any team in the bottom half of La Liga could be considered relegation candidates this season, but Girona have pulled away from danger recently with wins over Almeria and Athletic Bilbao and have established themselves in the mid-table positions.
They adopted a front-foot approach in both of those wins, beating Almeria 6-2 and Bilbao 3-2, and they have a decent range of forward options from Borja Garcia to former MLS star Valentin Castellanos.
Getafe are in the drop zone as it stands but have rediscovered their scoring form recently and in eight-goal Enes Unal they have one of the most prolific strikers in the division, so look at both teams to score in this one at 21/20.
What | Almeria v Villarreal |
Where | Estadio Mediterraneo |
When | 15.15, Saturday 4th March |
How to watch | European Soccer Live Streaming Highlights |
Odds | Almeria 23/10, Draw 5/2, Villarreal 23/20 |
Almeria sprung one of the surprises of the season at the Estadio Mediterraneo last time out, edging La Liga pacesetters Barcelona 1-0, and they can follow that up with a positive result against Villarreal.
Almeria allowed Barca 73 per cent possession, but also restricted the Catalan giants to a solitary shot on target, and they are a tough nut to crack at their Andalusian home.
Indeed, only the two El Clasico clubs have collected more points at home in La Liga this term than Almeria, whose seven league victories this season have all come in their own backyard.
Villarreal can be awkward customers, but have lost four of their last five matches and will be without suspended midfielder Manu Trigueros, as well as injured trio Francis Coquelin, Giovani Lo Celso and Nicolas Jackson for this game, so Almeria are worth backing Double Chance at 4/6.

What | Mallorca v Elche |
Where | Iberostar Stadium |
When | 17:30, Saturday 4th March 2023 |
How to watch | European Soccer Live Streaming Highlights & LaLigaTV |
Odds | Mallorca 4/6, Draw 5/2, Elche 5/1 |
Six of Mallorca's nine La Liga victories this season have come at the Iberostar Stadium, where they are a value bet at 4/6 to beat strugglers Elche on Saturday.
Mallorca are nestled in the mid-table positions in Spain's top-flight as it stands, only a few points adrift of the European places, while they are on an exceptional run at home.
They have won each of their last five home matches in La Liga, defeating the likes of Atletico, Real Madrid and, most recently, Villarreal as part of that run.
They also managed to keep clean sheets in four of those wins and they should have few problems defeating Elche, who have collected a miserly nine points from 23 league games this season and are rooted to the foot of La Liga.
What | Atletico Madrid v Sevilla |
Where | Metropolitano Stadium |
When | 20.00, Saturday 4th March 2023 |
How to watch | European Soccer Live Streaming Highlights & LaLigaTV |
Odds | Atletico Madrid 4/6, Draw 13/5, Sevilla 9/2 |
Atletico Madrid were minutes away from a precious win over rivals Real Madrid last time out in La Liga, drawing 1-1 in the end at the Santiago Bernabeu following an 85th-minute equaliser from youngster Alvaro.
But in hindsight that was a good result for Atleti, who had only one shot on target in the derby and it extended their unbeaten league run to seven matches.
That streak has seen the club mount the pressure on Real Sociedad in third spot and Diego Simeone's side can put full focus on pursuit of a top-three berth with no European football or Copa del Rey responsibilities to distract them.
Next up is a home clash with Sevilla and Atleti are a decent bet to win this one at 4/6.
The visitors have started to show signs of improvement under Jorge Sampaoli in the last few months, but it has nonetheless been an underwhelming campaign with only six league wins collected and they are worth opposing once again.
