Valencia's search for their first La Liga victory since December 20 will continue on Saturday afternoon when they make the trip to Visit Mallorca Estadi to take on Mallorca.

Los Che are currently 12th in the table, boasting 30 points from their 25 matches, while Mallorca sit 16th, six points clear of the relegation zone heading into the next set of fixtures.

We say: Mallorca 1-1 Valencia

Valencia are a difficult team to back at the moment, and Mallorca's home form means that it is even harder to predict an away victory. Los Che will fancy their chances of avoiding defeat, though, and we are expecting the two teams to share the points in a low-scoring draw.

Getafe will be looking to move further clear of the La Liga relegation zone when they welcome 19th-placed Alaves to Coliseum Alfonso Perez on Saturday afternoon.

The home side are currently 15th in the table, six points clear of the bottom three, while Alaves occupy 19th, four points from the safety of 17th heading into the next set of fixtures.

We say: Getafe 1-1 Alaves

This match has a draw written all over it, which is a result that would suit Getafe more than Alaves. There has not actually been a winner in this particular fixture since January 2019, with the last five matches finishing level, and we are predicting a tight contest to finish 1-1.

Real Madrid will be bidding to move nine points clear at the top of the La Liga table when they make the trip to Rayo Vallecano on Saturday evening.

Los Blancos are currently six points clear of second-placed Sevilla in the battle for the title, while Rayo occupy 11th position, 11 points clear of the relegation zone ahead of the next set of fixtures.

We say: Rayo Vallecano 1-2 Real Madrid

Rayo will not enter this match in the best of form, but their home record this season has been so impressive, and they beat Real Madrid when the two sides last locked horns in this stadium. We are finding it tough to back against Los Blancos, though, as Ancelotti's team have had a free week to prepare for this match, so the league leaders should pick up all three points.

Atletico Madrid will be bidding to make it back-to-back wins in La Liga when they continue their domestic campaign at home to Celta Vigo on Saturday night.

Diego Simeone's side are currently fifth in the table, boasting 42 points from 25 matches, while Celta are currently ninth, having collected 32 points from their 25 league games this term.

We say: Atletico Madrid 2-1 Celta Vigo

Celta are more than capable of finding the back of the net in this match, with Atletico far from watertight at the back this season, but the home side were impressive against Man United for long spells, which should give them the confidence to claim another three points on Saturday evening.
