Matchday 10 in LaLiga sees second-placed Real Madrid head west to take on Celta Vigo on Saturday night with leaders Barcelona welcoming Sevilla to the Montjuic 24 hours later.

Those are two of 10 LaLiga matches across four days and we have a score prediction for each of those games.

Alaves vs Valladolid (Friday, 8.00pm)

Alaves have lost three in a row — though two of those were against Real Madrid and Barcelona — but have a good record against Valladolid who they have beaten in their last three meetings.

Valladolid have not won since the opening day and boast the league's joint-worst attack — five goals scored — and worst defence — 19 shipped.

Score prediction: Alaves 1-0 Valladolid

Osasuna vs Real Betis (Saturday, 3.15pm)

Osasuna return home for the first time since beating Barcelona 4-2 at the end of last month and are unbeaten in Pamplona.

Betis are without a league away win since a 2-0 success at El Sadar in May and their last five on the road have produced just five goals

Score prediction: Osasuna 1-1 Real Betis 

Girona vs Real Sociedad (Saturday, 5.30pm)

Girona saw off one Basque side, Athletic Bilbao, before the break, but with injuries piling up may struggle against another, Sociedad, on the league's resumption.

Publicidad

Goals are generally scarce in Sociedad games and a third 0-0 draw in the first 10 should not be ruled out.

Score prediction: Girona 0-0 Real Sociedad

Celta Vigo vs Real Madrid (Saturday, 8.00pm)

Carlo Ancelotti's Real Madrid are yet to taste defeat in the league this season

Real Madrid have won eight in a row against Celta, who last beat the European champions back in 2014.

Celta, who are missing the suspended Ilaix Moriba and Iago Aspas, have tightened up but it is hard to see past Real, even if Kylian Mbappe is not fit.

Score prediction: Celta Vigo 0-2 Real Madrid

Mallorca vs Rayo Vallecano (Sunday, 1.00pm)

Top-half upstarts Mallorca and Rayo are punching above their weight.

Mallorca have drawn three of their last five at home while Rayo have had four 0-0 road trips since March. This promises to be low-scoring and tight.

Score prediction: Mallorca 1-1 Rayo Vallecano

Athletic Bilbao vs Espanyol (Sunday, 3.15pm)

Espanyol are not travelling well with one point out of 12 on their travels and their only goal scored was an own goal.

Publicidad

Nico Williams is expected to be fit for Athletic after missing the 2-1 loss at Girona before the international break and he can help the Basques to a trademark narrow win.

Score prediction: Athletic Bilbao 1-0 Espanyol

Atletico Madrid vs Leganes (Sunday, 3.15pm)

Leganes have drawn four of their five away games this season and eight of their last 10 since April.

However, they average the fewest shots of any side in LaLiga so while they are defensively okay, if they fall behind in Madrid they look doomed.

Score prediction: Atletico Madrid 1-0 Leganes

Villarreal vs Getafe (Sunday, 5.30pm)

Fourth-placed Villarreal's only two losses this season have come against the top two and they had found the net 17 times in eight matches before drawing a blank at the Bernabeu last time.

But Getafe drew at Villarreal last season and while their away form might look weak — one point out of a possible 12 — they have been luckless against top teams.

Score prediction: Villarreal 1-1 Getafe

Barcelona vs Sevilla (Sunday, 8.00pm)

Lamine Yamal is the latest addition to Barca's injury list and that could spell danger at home to Sevilla.

Publicidad

Garcia Pimiento's team are much improved on last term, competitive in every game, so if they do go down expect it to be close.

Score prediction: Barcelona 3-2 Sevilla

Valencia vs Las Palmas (Monday, 8.00pm)

There really is no end to the Valencia crisis which continues to reflect on the pitch as they face the prospect of another relegation fight.

Las Palmas should fancy they can match their poor hosts, who have failed to score in five of nine.

Score prediction: Valencia 0-0 Las Palmas
