Saturday's La Liga predictions including Real Madrid vs. Osasuna

Real Madrid vs. Osasuna (Saturday, 1.00pm)

Real Madrid face a must-win home fixture against Osasuna on Saturday afternoon, with the reigning Spanish and European champions looking to bounce back from successive losses at Bernabeu to Barcelona and AC Milan.

Los Blancos are second in the La Liga table, nine points behind leaders Barcelona, who have played a game more, and they will be welcoming an Osasuna outfit that are up in fifth, boasting 21 points from their first 12 matches of the campaign.

We say: Real Madrid 2-1 Osasuna

Osasuna will fancy their chances of picking up a positive result against an out-of-form Real Madrid, and we would not be surprised if it was a draw in the Spanish capital on Saturday. However, we just have a feeling that Los Blancos will do enough to secure a vital three points ahead of the November international break.

Villarreal vs. Alaves (Saturday, 3.15pm)

Villarreal will be aiming to make it three straight wins in all competitions when they continue their La Liga campaign with a contest against Alaves on Saturday afternoon.

The Yellow Submarine are currently fourth in the La Liga table, boasting 21 points from their opening 11 matches of the season, while Alaves are 14th, picking up 13 points from their first 12 matches of the campaign.

We say: Villarreal 2-1 Alaves

Alaves can take encouragement from their recent record against Villarreal, and we are expecting Saturday's game to be close in terms of the scoreline. However, the Yellow Submarine should be able to navigate their way to all three points.

We say: Leganes 2-2 Sevilla

Both teams will be missing some important players on Saturday, but we are expecting an open and entertaining affair. It would not be a surprise to see a home win or an away win here, but we just have a feeling that the points will be shared.
