Real Valladolid travel to Celta Vigo on Sunday as they look to lift themselves out of the bottom three of the La Liga table.

The visitors will be on the hunt for a first league win in eight games, while Celta Vigo will be looking to return to winning ways after a disappointing loss to Valencia last time out.

We say: Celta Vigo 2-0 Real Valladolid

While the visitors will come into this game desperate for a win, we see Celta Vigo having too much for them, and predict a fairly comfortable away victory for Eduardo Coudet's men.

Real Betis travel to the Nuevo Estadio Ramon de Carranza to take on Cadiz on Sunday, as they look to break into the top six of the La Liga table.

Betis have won three of their last four games in league action, while the hosts will be looking for a first La Liga victory in seven matches.

We say: Cadiz 0-2 Real Betis

Despite a weakened squad and the resilience Cadiz showed to draw against Barcelona, we see Real Betis outclassing their opponents in this game, picking up another victory as they continue to strengthen their bid for a place in the top six.

Granada will be looking to put an end to a run of six league games without a win on Sunday when they host an Elche side who sit second bottom in the La Liga table.

The hosts advanced through to the Europa League round of 16 on Thursday night, while Elche suffered a 3-0 thrashing to Barcelona in their last game.

We say: Granada 2-1 Elche

With the boost of confidence brought about by their advancement to the final 16 of the Europa League, we see Granada getting back to winning ways in the league with a narrow home win here.

While Elche will be battling hard to jump out of the relegation zone, we expect them to fall just short against a Granada side who are also desperate to move up the league table.

Villarreal vs. Atletico (Sunday, 8.00pm)

Atletico Madrid travel to Villarreal on Sunday as they look to strengthen their position at the top of the La Liga table.

Diego Simeone's side have faltered in recent weeks, winning only one of their last four games, although they do still sit at the top of the league with a game in hand on the chasing sides, while the hosts will be looking to end a run of six La Liga games without a win.

We say: Villarreal 1-1 Atletico Madrid

Although Villarreal have struggled to find league wins recently, we see Atletico's run of disappointing form continuing here, with the sides sharing the points at the Estadio de la Ceramica.

Their recent attacking struggles, coupled with a strong defence coming up against Villarreal's promising front line, should result in a low-scoring draw, as the league leaders continue to drop points and face further pressure from the chasing pack.
