Two La Liga teams in impressive form will lock horns at Mestalla for an intriguing match on Tuesday evening, with Valencia welcoming Espanyol.

Valencia, who are 14th in the La Liga table, will bring a seven-game unbeaten run into the contest, while 13th-placed Espanyol have been victorious in their last three league games.

We say: Valencia 2-1 Espanyol

This is set to be a fascinating battle between two in-form teams, and we are expecting it to be close in terms of the scoreline; home advantage could be key, though, with Valencia potentially navigating their way to all three points.

Barcelona will be aiming to take another big step towards the La Liga title when they host Mallorca on Tuesday night.

The Catalan giants will enter the match off the back of a 4-3 victory over Celta Vigo, which moved them seven points clear at the top of the La Liga table, while Mallorca occupy seventh, which is now a Europe League position in Spain's top flight.

We say: Barcelona 2-1 Mallorca

Mallorca are capable of making this an uncomfortable match for Barcelona, and we are expecting a close game on Tuesday evening in terms of the scoreline. That said, the Catalan giants should be able to navigate their way to another huge three points.
