The action continues in Spain this weekend, with another 10 games spread out over Saturday and Sunday.

Barcelona are top after three wins from three, with Villarreal second, two points behind, while defending champions Real Madrid are fifth having picked up five points so far.

We run through all 10 games and have a score prediction for each.

Barcelona vs Real Valladolid (Saturday, 4pm)

Barca have won all three games at the start of the season 2-1 – seeing off Valencia, Athletic Bilbao and Rayo Vallecano by the same scoreline.

Publicidad

This time Hansi Flick's side should secure the three points without conceding as they face a Valladolid outfit that has failed to score in their last two.

Score prediction: Barcelona 2-0 Real Valladolid

Athletic Bilbao vs Atletico Madrid (Saturday, 6pm)

Athletic Club got their first win of the season when beating Valencia 1-0 on Wednesday, but they look set to be in for a difficult evening against Atletico Madrid, who are unbeaten so far with one win and two draws on the board.

Score prediction: Athletic Bilbao 1-2 Atletico Madrid

Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid are unbeaten after three games

Espanyol vs Rayo Vallecano (Saturday, 6.15pm)

Espanyol are yet to score, losing 1-0 to both Valladolid and Real Sociedad, before picking earning a goalless draw against Atletico Madrid.

Publicidad

They should finally break their duck this weekend, but may have to settle for a draw at home to Vallecano, who only lost narrowly 2-1 at Barcelona on Tuesday.

Score prediction: Espanyol 1-1 Rayo Vallecano

Leganes vs Mallorca (Saturday, 8.30pm)

Leganes have made a decent start with two draws and a victory so far, but Mallorca can end their unbeaten run as they look to build on creditable draws with Real Madrid and Sevilla already this season.

Score prediction: Leganes 0-1 Mallorca

Valencia vs Villarreal (Saturday, 8.30pm)

Second plays bottom when high-flying Villarreal go to struggling Valencia on Saturday evening.

Villarreal can make it an impressive 10 points out of a possible 12 with an away win, heaping more early-season misery on Los Che, who are the only side in the Spanish top-flight yet to pick up a point.

Score prediction: Valencia 1-2 Villarreal

Marcelino has guided Villarreal up to second in the table early on in the campaign

Alaves vs Las Palmas (Sunday, 4pm)

Alaves secured a fine 2-1 win at Sociedad on Wednesday, but Las Palmas will be equally buzzing after they managed a 1-1 draw at home to Real Madrid.

Publicidad

This could well be an entertaining affair in which both teams cancel each other out.

Score prediction: Alaves 2-2 Las Palmas

Osasuna vs Celta Vigo (Sunday, 4pm)

Osasuna were hammered 4-0 by Girona on Thursday and Celta Vigo, who won their first two games of the season before losing 4-3 at Villarreal, can inflict more pain on them on Sunday afternoon.

Score prediction: Osasuna 0-2 Celta Vigo

Sevilla vs Girona (Sunday, 6pm)

After a difficult start, last season's surprise package Girona landed a much-needed win when they thumped Osasuna 4-0 on Thursday and they will be after another three points at Sevilla, who have still yet to pick up a victory this term.

Score prediction: Sevilla 0-1 Girona

Getafe vs Real Sociedad (Sunday, 6.15pm)

Getafe have registered successive draws to start the campaign, but a defeat could be looming when Real Sociedad visit on Sunday as Imanol Alguacil's side have already won on the road this season at Espanyol.

Score prediction: Getafe 1-2 Real Sociedad

Real Madrid vs Real Betis (Sunday, 8.30pm)

Real Madrid have made a slow start to their title defence with draws against Mallorca and Las Palmas and just the one win over Valladolid.

Publicidad

They should remind everyone of their quality, though, against a Real Betis side who have drawn their first two matches.

Score prediction: Real Madrid 3-1 Real Betis
