Both Alaves and Real Betis will be looking to return to winning ways in La Liga when they lock horns at Estadio de Mendizorroza on Monday night.

Betis will enter the contest off the back of a 2-0 defeat at Villarreal before the international break, while Alaves suffered a 1-0 loss to Athletic Bilbao last time out.

We say: Alaves 0-1 Real Betis

Alaves's issues in the final third of the field cannot be ignored, and we are finding it difficult to back them to score on Monday night. Betis, though, have a lot of quality in the forward areas, and we are expecting Pellegrini's side to put another three points on the board here.

Espanyol will be looking to make it back-to-back wins in La Liga when they continue their 2021-22 campaign at home to Cadiz on Monday night.

The Catalan outfit recorded a 2-1 victory over Real Madrid before the international break, while Cadiz played out a goalless draw with Valencia in their last game earlier this month.

We say: Espanyol 2-1 Cadiz

Espanyol were impressive against Real Madrid before the international break, and we are backing Moreno's side to win again here. Cadiz have shared the points in half of their eight league matches this season but could suffer their fourth defeat of the campaign at RCDE Stadium.
