Bitter rivals Barcelona and Real Madrid will lock horns in the first Clasico of the 2020-21 campaign on Saturday afternoon, with both sides looking to bounce back from La Liga defeats last time out.
Barca lost 1-0 away to Getafe in their last league encounter on October 17, while reigning champions Madrid suffered a shock 1-0 home defeat to newly-promoted Cadiz.
We say: Barcelona 1-1 Real Madrid
We are finding it incredibly difficult to separate the two sides on Saturday afternoon. A case can be made for either to pick up all three points, and Barca were impressive in the Champions League during the week. Koeman's side are still working their way into the new campaign, though, and we are expecting a tight and cagey affair to eventually finish 1-1, which would not be the worst result for either manager.
Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a home win or an away win.

Osasuna vs. Athletic Bilbao (Saturday, 5.30pm)

Athletic Bilbao will be looking to make it back-to-back victories in La Liga when they continue their 2020-21 campaign away to Osasuna on Saturday evening.
Gaizka Garitano's side will enter this weekend's contest off the back of a 2-0 home win over Levante, while Osasuna shared the points with Eibar in their last match.
We say: Osasuna 1-1 Athletic Bilbao
Athletic will be boosted by the fact that Osasuna are missing some key players, but we are finding it difficult to back the Basque outfit with any real confidence due to their inconsistency. Osasuna have picked up four points from their last two league matches, and we are expecting a low-scoring draw in this contest.
Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a draw or an away win.

Sevilla will be looking to return to winning ways in Spain's top flight when they continue their 2020-21 campaign at home to Eibar on Saturday evening.
Julen Lopetegui's side, who were in Champions League action during the week, suffered a 1-0 defeat at Granada in their last league game, while Eibar shared the points with Osasuna.
We say: Sevilla 2-0 Eibar
Eibar have had a free week to prepare for this match while Sevilla have been in Champions League action. We are finding it difficult to look past the home side, though, believing that their superior quality will ultimately shine through to secure a comfortable three points in Seville.
Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Atletico vs. Real Betis (Saturday, 8.00pm)

Atletico Madrid will be looking to continue their unbeaten start to the 2020-21 La Liga season when they welcome Real Betis to the Wanda Metropolitano on Saturday night.
Diego Simeone's side are currently eighth in the table with eight points to show from their four matches, while Betis are one spot and one point above in seventh but have played twice more than the capital club.
We say: Atletico Madrid 1-0 Real Betis
Atletico ran out 1-0 winners when these two teams locked horns in the corresponding game last season, and we are expecting the same scoreline to occur here. Atletico have only conceded once in the league this term, and Simeone's side should secure another three points to continue their solid start to the La Liga campaign.
Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.
