Rayo Vallecano vs. Valladolid

Rayo Vallecano have dreams of achieving a European place this season. The hosts have avoided defeat in their last eight league matches, and they have won four fixtures over that period.

Vallecano have also won each of their last three against Valladolid. The feel-good mood could continue at Estadio de Vallecas on Friday.

Celta Vigo vs. Betis

Betis come into this round after winning two of their last three on the road. That marks a significant upturn in form after recording the same number of wins over their previous ten. Celta’s winless run stands at four matches.

But, the home side have won their last two against Betis at Balaidos. A draw may be an interesting angle when making La Liga picks on Saturday.

Athletic Bilbao vs. Girona

Bilbao’s record in this fixture would be a major concern after winning just one of their last five meetings. But, Girona have suffered defeats in three of their last four at San Mames.

Bilbao’s long unbeaten sequence now stands at 13, which could be the telling factor against a Girona side that have already suffered five away defeats this term.

Las Palmas vs. Villarreal

Las Palmas have a positive recent record against their opponents this weekend, winning two of their last three. However, Villarreal brings the better form into the round.

The visitors have won three of their last five, scoring at least four in each win over that period. Their hot form could be the significant angle.

Real Madrid vs. Atletico Madrid

A huge Madrid derby is set for Saturday, as Real and Atletico collide. Real have failed to win in their last four league matches against their cross-city rivals, while Atletico have taken points from eight of their last eleven trips to the Bernabeu.

Another hotly contested clash is expected, but the points could be shared.

Alaves vs. Getafe

Alaves have won just 13.3% of their matches against Getafe; boasting a lower win-rate against only Real Madrid.

However, draws have been an incredibly common trend. Eight of the last 15 meetings between the sides have ended in ties, and that could be a viable outcome once again at the prices this Sunday.

Valencia vs. Leganes

Things continue to look bleak for Valencia this season, but they at least come into this round after winning two of their five matches since Carlos Corberan arrived at the club.

Leganes haven’t conceded in their last two against Valencia, but this is a must-win encounter for the hosts, and that added pressure could get them over the line on Sunday.

Real Sociedad vs. Espanyol

Sociedad boast an incredibly positive record in this fixture, winning each of their last four against Espanyol. They have also avoided defeat in each of their last six against their opponents at Anoeta.

But, Espanyol’s recent form could be the interesting angle, as they have won two of their last three compared to Sociedad’s run of three straight defeats.

Sevilla vs. Barcelona

Barcelona have avoided defeat in their last 18 La Liga encounters against Sevilla, winning on 14 occasions across that period. But, Sevilla have avoided defeat in their last four league matches.

However, Barcelona’s return to form looks to be the solid angle when making La Liga picks this weekend.

Mallorca vs. Osasuna

Mallorca and Osasuna are closely matched in the current league standings, as they sit level on points after 22 rounds of matches.

However, Mallorca have suffered defeats in their last three, which is a major concern. Therefore, the preference is for the visitors to record a second straight win.
