Rayo Vallecano vs Las Palmas (Friday, 8pm)

Hosts Rayo Vallecano have only lost one of their last seven games in LaLiga as they prepare to host Las Palmas.

Score prediction: Rayo Vallecano 2-1 Las Palmas

Real Madrid vs Osasuna (Saturday, 1pm)

Carlo Ancelotti's men have lost their last two games in all competitions, conceding seven goals in defeats to Barcelona and AC Milan.

Los Blancos beat Osasuna 4-0 and 4-2 last season, but the visitors have won three on the spin.

The reigning champions have been exposed of late, but Osasuna have only won once on the road all season in LaLiga.

Score prediction: Real Madrid 2-1 Osasuna

Villarreal vs Deportivo Alaves (Saturday, 3.15pm)

Only Barcelona have beaten Villarreal at Estadio de la Ceramica this season and the Yellow Submarine have scored 11 goals in five league matches.

Alaves have lost four games in a row on the road, but they have only failed to score in two of their six away matches in LaLiga.

Score prediction: Villarreal 2-1 Deportivo Alaves

Leganes vs Sevilla (Saturday, 8pm)

Only two places separate Leganes and Sevilla heading into Saturday's game.

Leganes have struggled for consistency at home, while Sevilla have only lost twice on the road.

Score prediction: Leganes 1-1 Sevilla

Real Betis vs Celta Vigo (Sunday, 1pm)

While only three points separate the two sides ahead of kick-off, Real Betis' form is tough to ignore.

Celta have lost to Villarreal, Osasuna, Athletic Bilbao and Leganes away from home, while the hosts are unbeaten in six games.

Score prediction: Real Betis 1-0 Celta Vigo

Mallorca vs Atletico Madrid (Sunday, 3.15pm)

Atletico Madrid will hope results go their way and they can move into second by beating Mallorca.

The hosts have only lost once in six LaLiga matches this season, but Atletico will be full of confidence after three wins on the spin, including Wednesday's 2-1 victory over Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League.

Score prediction: Mallorca 1-2 Atletico Madrid

Getafe vs Girona (Sunday, 5.30pm)

Getafe have been a tough nut to crack this season in the league, with Jose Bordalas's side yet to lose at home. While they have only won one of their six matches in front of their own fans, they should be able to battle past a Girona side that have lost five away matches.

Score prediction: Getafe 1-0 Girona

Real Valladolid vs Athletic Bilbao (Sunday, 5.30pm)

Real Valladolid won their opening league match at home 1-0 against Espanyol in August, but they have since gone five games without a win at home.

Visitors Athletic Bilbao should be able to record a comfortable win, having lost one of their previous 12 in all competitions.

Score prediction: Real Valladolid 0-2 Athletic Bilbao

Real Sociedad vs Barcelona (Sunday, 8pm)

League-leaders Barcelona have won seven matches in a row and they should be able to maintain their advantage at the top.

Sociedad have won once at home all season and should struggle in this encounter.

Score prediction: Real Sociedad 1-3 Barcelona
