Saturday's La Liga predictions including Barcelona vs. Las Palmas

Barcelona vs. Las Palmas (Saturday, 1.00pm)

Barcelona will be aiming to return to winning ways in Spain's top flight when they continue their domestic campaign with a home fixture against Las Palmas on Saturday afternoon.

Hansi Flick's side have only picked up one point from their last two league matches, but they sit top of the La Liga table, four points clear of second-placed Real Madrid, while Las Palmas are 17th, two points outside of the relegation zone.

We say: Barcelona 2-0 Las Palmas

It is difficult to ignore Las Palmas' recent record against Barcelona when picking a result here, and we are struggling to see anything other than a routine success for Flick's side, especially considering their recent blip in Spain's top flight.
