Saturday's La Liga action kicks off with Villarreal's trip to Andalusia for their crucial clash with Diego Martinez's high-flying Granada side.
A win for the visitors could see them leapfrog Real Betis and Real Sociedad into sixth place, while three points for Granada would put the Nasrids within touching distance of Villarreal in the standings.
We say: Granada 2-2 Villarreal
On paper, this game looks like a fairly winnable contest for Villarreal, whose attack could cause trouble at the back for Martinez's defenders. Yet, Granada are notoriously unpredictable and it would be foolish to write them off.

Real Madrid will be looking to make it four victories in a row in all competitions when they continue their La Liga campaign at home to Eibar on Saturday afternoon.
Los Blancos, who are third in the table, entered the international break off the back of a 3-1 victory at Celta Vigo, while 18th-placed Eibar played out a 1-1 draw with Athletic Bilbao last time out.
We say: Real Madrid 2-0 Eibar
Madrid will be desperate to continue their winning run ahead of three extremely important matches, and we are finding it difficult to look past Zidane's side this weekend. Eibar are also in need of the points, but the champions should have more than enough to secure the victory.

Getafe will travel to Pamplona this weekend for their La Liga clash with Osasuna at El Sadar on Saturday afternoon.
Only a point separates these two sides in the table and three points from this encounter will likely ensure top-flight survival for the victors.
We say: Osasuna 1-1 Getafe
This clash sees two of La Liga's most defensive sides lock horns, and it is not an encounter that will necessarily get the blood running. We are going for a stalemate, but you never know, a moment of magic from Ruben Garcia or a triumphant return for Avila could seal all three points for the Pamplona side.
