LaLiga Predictions - Week 17

- Celta Vigo have earned just four of their 21 points on the road
- Atletico Madrid have won seven matches to nil this season
- Barcelona averaging over three goals per game at home

Barcelona are clinging to top spot in LaLiga, but Hansi Flick's men have dropped points in four of their last five domestic fixtures and both Madrid clubs are breathing down their neck.

The Catalans giants will complete the Week 17 fixtures when they host Leganes on Sunday evening, while title rivals Real are in action earlier in the day at city rivals Rayo Vallecano.

Joe Champion has been through the LaLiga fixture list and predicted the correct score for all 10 matches.

Real Valladolid vs Valencia (Friday, 8pm)

LaLiga's bottom two kick-off the action and it is Valencia who can earn a much-needed win. Los Che were unfortunate to lose to Vallecano last weekend, while hosts Valladolid have the worst defence in Spain's top tier.

Score prediction: Real Valladolid 1-2 Valencia

Espanyol vs Osasuna (Saturday, 1pm)

Osasuna are 11 points clear of Espanyol and can secure a road win against a team who have lost eight of their last ten league matches. The hosts have enough about them to net in defeat.

Score prediction: Espanyol 1-2 Osasuna

Mallorca vs Girona (Saturday, 3.15pm)

Girona found Real Madrid and Liverpool too strong in their two most recent outings, but they have been solid enough in LaLiga and can earn a road victory against Mallorca, who have lost four of their last six matches.

Score prediction: Mallorca 0-1 Girona

Sevilla vs Celta Vigo (Saturday, 5.30pm)

Sevilla let a 3-1 lead slip in last week's thrilling 4-3 loss away to Atletico Madrid, but they can regain the winning thread against poor-travelling Celta Vigo. The hosts' four home wins have all come by a single goal.

Score prediction: Sevilla 1-0 Celta Vigo

Rayo Vallecano vs Real Madrid (Saturday, 5.30pm)

Real Madrid can leapfrog Barcelona with a win, but local rivals Rayo have a solid record in this fixture and will not go down easily. Expect Los Blancos to edge an entertaining contest.

Score prediction: Rayo Vallecano 1-2 Real Madrid

Atletico Madrid vs Getafe (Sunday, 1pm)

Everything points to an easy win for title hopefuls Atletico. Diego Simeone's men have won six of their eight home matches, scoring 18 goals and they are up against a Getafe team with just two points and three goals on the road.

Score prediction: Atletico Madrid 3-0 Getafe

Alaves vs Athletic Bilbao (Sunday, 3.15pm)

Alaves earned a good point at Osasuna last weekend, but fellow Basque outfit Athletic Bilbao could prove harder to crack. The visitors are on a six-match winning run in all competitions.

Score prediction: Alaves 0-2 Athletic Bilbao

Real Sociedad vs Las Palmas (Sunday, 5.30pm)

Real Sociedad are on the march, winning four of their last five games and keeping four clean sheets. However, Las Palmas are also in fine form and these two confident teams could share the spoils.

Score prediction: Real Sociedad 1-1 Las Palmas

Villarreal vs Real Betis (Sunday, 5.30pm)

Villarreal should get back to winning ways at home to Real Betis. The Yellow Submarine have scored 16 goals in seven games at El Madrigal and are facing opponents who have been blunt on the road.

Score prediction: Villarreal 2-0 Real Betis

Barcelona vs Leganes (Sunday, 8pm)

Barcelona's blip is unlikely to continue at home to lowly Leganes. The hosts lost at home to Las Palmas last time out, but had previously won eight in a row in all competitions on their own patch.

Score prediction: Barcelona 3-0 Leganes
