Real Betis will be bidding to return to winning ways in La Liga when they travel to Estadio Municipal Jose Zorrilla on Sunday afternoon to take on Real Valladolid.
The Green and Whites, who are currently fourth in Spain's top flight, suffered a 1-0 loss to Celta Vigo in the league last weekend, but Real Valladolid recorded a 3-2 victory over Getafe last time out.
We say: Real Valladolid 1-2 Real Betis
Real Valladolid will be the fresher of the two teams on Sunday, and the home side are capable of picking up a positive result in this contest.
Real Betis will be fired up to return to winning ways in the league, though, and we are backing Pellegrini's side to secure all three points.

Two teams towards the wrong end of the La Liga table will lock horns at Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla on Sunday afternoon, with 19th-placed Cadiz welcoming 16th-placed Espanyol.
Cadiz will enter the contest off the back of a respectable goalless draw with Villarreal last weekend, while Espanyol also picked up a point last time out courtesy of a 2-2 draw at home to Valencia.
We say: Cadiz 1-1 Espanyol
Cadiz will have been encouraged by their last two results, and they will now take on an Espanyol side that have won just once in the league this season. Both teams will view this as a winnable fixture, but we are finding it difficult to separate them and have therefore settled on a low-scoring draw.

Two teams that will expect to be in the mix for a top-four spot in La Liga this season will lock horns at Reale Arena on Saturday evening, with Real Sociedad welcoming Villarreal.
The home side are currently seventh in Spain's top flight, boasting 13 points from their opening seven matches, while Villarreal are eighth, one point behind their opponents ahead of this weekend's contest.
We say: Real Sociedad 1-1 Villarreal
Neither side will have had long to prepare for this match due to their European commitments, and both could be missing some important players this weekend. A draw would be seen as a relatively good result for both sides, and we can see a low-scoring contest taking place on Sunday evening.

Barcelona will be bidding to make it seven La Liga victories in a row when they continue their domestic campaign at home to Celta Vigo on Sunday night.
The Catalan outfit will enter the match off the back of a 1-0 loss to Inter Milan in the Champions League on Tuesday night, while Celta recorded a 1-0 victory over Real Betis in the league last weekend.
We say: Barcelona 3-1 Celta Vigo
Barcelona will be fired up to return to winning ways following the disappointment of the result against Inter, and we are finding it difficult to predict anything other than a home success. Xavi's side have been excellent in the league this term and should have too much for their opponents in this contest.
