- The first El Clasico of the season takes place at the Bernabeu on Saturday
- Real Madrid have won their last four meetings with Barcelona
- Valencia bottom of the table ahead of trip to Getafe

The first El Clasico of the season takes centre stage on Matchday 11 in LaLiga and we have a score prediction for that huge top-two clash as well, as the other nine fixtures taking place in the Spanish top-flight over the weekend.

Espanyol vs Sevilla (Friday, 8.00pm)

The weekend’s action begins in Barcelona, when Espanyol take on Sevilla.

The visitors were thrashed 5-1 by Barcelona last weekend, but the hosts also suffered a heavy defeat, losing 4-1 at Athletic Bilbao, so with neither side in good form a draw seems likely.

Score prediction: 1-1

Valladolid vs Villarreal (Saturday, 1.00pm)

Struggling Valladolid snapped an eight-game winless run with a 3-2 victory at Alaves last Friday, but may return to losing ways against fourth-placed Villarreal, who have only lost to Barca and Real Madrid this term.

Score prediction: 1-2

Rayo Vallecano vs Alaves (Saturday, 3.15pm)

The hosts are unbeaten in three home games, drawing with Atletico Madrid in that run and will likely have too much for Alaves, who have lost four on the spin.

Score prediction: 1-0

Las Palmas vs Girona (Saturday, 5.30pm)

Relegation-threatened Las Palmas earned a much-needed win over Valencia on Monday and, having recently drawn with Real Madrid and Real Betis at home, may be able to frustrate Girona, who have won only one of their six away games this season.

Score prediction: 0-0

Real Madrid vs Barcelona (Saturday, 8.00pm)

Just three points separate Spain’s big two in the standings and there could be little to split the pair in the capital.

Real Madrid showed their scoring prowess when putting five past Borussia Dortmund in the week, while Barca have netted 33 goals in 10 league games this season and thrashed Bayern Munich 4-1 on Wednesday.

Expect an action-packed draw in this El Clasico.

Score prediction: 2-2

Leganes vs Celta Vigo (Sunday, 1.00pm)

Leganes had drawn three games in a row before their 3-1 defeat at Atletico Madrid and may have enough to earn a valuable point against mid-table Celta Vigo, who have lost three of their four away matches this season.

Score prediction: 1-1

Getafe vs Valencia (Sunday, 3.15pm)

Basement boys Valencia need to bounce back from their defeat to Las Palmas, but may struggle to do so against Getafe, who are unbeaten in five home matches this term.

Score prediction: 1-0

Real Betis vs Atletico Madrid (Sunday, 5.30pm)

Third-placed Atletico Madrid are unbeaten in 10 meetings with Real Betis and rate the stronger of the two coming into Sunday’s clash.

However, Betis have won three of their four LaLiga home games and the spoils may be shared in Seville.

Score prediction: 2-2

Real Sociedad vs Osasuna (Sunday, 8pm)

Real Sociedad were impressive in their 1-0 win at Girona last Saturday and should build on that victory against Osasuna, who are winless on the road this term.

Score prediction: 2-1

Mallorca vs Athletic Bilbao (Monday, 8pm)

The hosts are aiming the exact revenge on Athletic Bilbao after losing on penalties to these opponents in last season’s Copa del Rey final.

Given the visitors have won just five of their last 14 LaLiga away games, Mallorca look set to gain their vengeance with a fifth win in six matches.

Score prediction: 2-1
