Barcelona will look to bounce back from consecutive defeats when they play host to Osasuna in Wednesday's La Liga contest.

The midweek fixture represents Barcelona's first outing since Xavi revealed that he would be leaving his position as head coach at the end of the season.

We say: Barcelona 2-1 Osasuna

Barcelona may be struggling to find a consistent run of form, but they will take confidence from the fact they have already beaten Osasuna on two occasions this season.

Having won nine of their last 10 top-flight home matches against Los Rojillos, we think Barcelona will continue that fine record by claiming a narrow victory in Wednesday's contest.

Atletico Madrid will have the chance to record a third consecutive league victory when they play host to Rayo Vallecano on Wednesday.

The visitors, meanwhile, will be looking to return to winning ways in the midweek La Liga clash after failing to win any of their last three competitive outings.

We say: Atletico Madrid 2-0 Rayo Vallecano

Rayo may have picked up 16 of their 24 points from away matches, but we think they will be left empty-handed when they go against an Atletico side that has won 10 of their 11 home games in La Liga this season.
