Alaves will be looking to give their La Liga survival hopes a boost when they welcome Celta Vigo to Estadio de Mendizorroza on Sunday afternoon.

The home side are currently 19th in the table, two points behind 17th-placed Elche, while Celta occupy 11th position, having picked up 34 points from their 28 league matches this term.

We say: Alaves 1-2 Celta Vigo

Alaves are in desperate need of the points as they bid to escape the relegation zone, but we are finding it difficult to back the hosts against a talented Celta, who will be eyeing a top-half finish. It should be a tight encounter, but we are expecting the visitors to emerge victorious courtesy of a 2-1 success.

Real Betis will be looking to continue their impressive run of form in La Liga when they travel to relegation-threatened Elche on Sunday afternoon.

The Seville outfit have won five of their last six in the league to rise into sixth position in the table, while Eibar currently occupy 17th spot, two points clear of the relegation zone.

We say: Elche 1-2 Real Betis

Aside from the defeat at Sevilla, Betis have been flying in the league, and we are finding it difficult to predict anything other than an away victory in this match. Elche will not make it easy as they battle for their lives towards the bottom, but Betis should have enough to secure another three points.

Cadiz vs. Valencia (Sunday, 5.30pm)

Valencia will be looking to make it back-to-back wins in La Liga for the first time since the end of 2019 when they travel to Cadiz on Sunday evening.

Los Che, who recorded a 2-1 win over Granada before the international break, are currently 12th in the table, while Cadiz occupy 15th position, four points behind their opponents this weekend.

We say: Cadiz 1-1 Valencia

Two of Cadiz's last five league matches have finished 1-1, and we are predicting the same scoreline on Sunday. As mentioned, Valencia have found it incredibly difficult to put back-to-back wins on the board despite the strength of their squad. Both teams will feel that they can harm the other in the final third of the field, but we have ultimately settled on a low-scoring draw.

Atletico Madrid will be looking to record their 21st La Liga victory of the season when they travel to Estadio Ramon on Sunday evening to take on Sevilla.

Diego Simeone's side are currently top of the table, four points clear of second-placed Barcelona, while Sevilla occupy fourth position, 10 points clear of fifth-placed Real Sociedad.

We say: Sevilla 1-1 Atletico Madrid

Atletico will certainly be feeling the heat at the top of the table, and they are likely to face one of their toughest matches of the season this weekend. Sevilla are strong on home soil, and we can see Lopetegui's side holding the leaders to a low-scoring draw, but an away victory cannot be completely ruled out.
