Real Sociedad vs. Sevilla (Sunday, 1.00pm)

Sevilla will head to Real Sociedad on Sunday afternoon knowing that a victory would move them to within three points of La Liga leaders Atletico Madrid.
Julen Lopetegui's side, who have won four of their last five in the league, are currently fourth in the table, while Real Sociedad occupy fifth position, 14 points behind their opponents this weekend.
We say: Real Sociedad 1-2 Sevilla
Sevilla would put themselves in the title picture with a victory on Sunday, and we are backing Lopetegui's side to triumph. Real Sociedad are certainly capable of picking up a positive result, but they are expected to again be without a number of important players, which has led to us backing Sevilla to edge a tight game.

Fresh from a hugely impressive 2-1 success against Unai Emery's high-flying Villarreal, Osasuna return to familiar surroundings this weekend against 18th-placed Elche at the El Sadar Stadium on Sunday.
While the hosts took maximum points from their most recent outing, Elche's survival hopes took another damaging blow with a 3-1 defeat to fellow strugglers Huesca.
We say: Osasuna 1-0 Elche
Osasuna's penchant for clean sheets and recent upturn in fortunes should help them secure another stint in La Liga for the 2021-22 campaign, and a win here could all but confirm their top-flight status. Elche's losing habit away from home makes for bleak reading for their supporters, and with some fresh absentees to work around, we do not expect the visitors to take anything from this battle.

Atletico vs. Eibar (Sunday, 3.15pm)

Top will take on bottom in La Liga this weekend as Atletico Madrid welcome Eibar to Wanda Metropolitano, with both teams desperate to secure all three points but for very different reasons.
Atletico are currently top of the table, one point clear of second-placed Real Madrid, while Eibar occupy 20th position, four points from the safety of 17th spot with eight games left.
We say: Atletico Madrid 2-0 Eibar
Atletico are certainly having a wobble, but it is very difficult to predict anything other than a home victory in this match. Eibar will take confidence from the fact that Simeone's side will again be missing some key players, but we are expecting a relatively routine home success on Sunday afternoon.

Alaves welcome Huesca to the Mendizorrotza Stadium on Sunday, in a crucial game at the bottom of the La Liga table.
A run of two consecutive victories has seen Huesca move out of the drop zone, while the hosts now sit in 19th spot, three points adrift of safety.
We say: Alaves 0-2 Huesca
The two sides come into this game in opposite runs of form, and we see Huesca extending their winning run with a victory over a struggling Alaves side on Sunday.
The visitors have managed to build momentum and break out of the relegation zone, and we expect them to continue that rise at the Mendizorroza Stadium as they look to avoid dropping back down towards the bottom three.

Real Betis vs. Valencia (Sunday, 5.30pm)

Real Betis will be looking to return to winning ways in Spain's top flight when they continue their domestic campaign at home to Valencia on Sunday evening.
Manuel Pellegrini's side, who have drawn their last two La Liga fixtures, are currently sixth in the table, while an inconsistent Valencia occupy 13th position with eight games left.
We say: Real Betis 2-1 Valencia
This has all of the makings of a very tight match, and both sides will believe that they can hurt the other in the final third of the field. Betis certainly have more to play for at this stage of the season, though, and we are backing the home team to edge a tight encounter on Sunday.

Cadiz vs. Celta Vigo (Sunday, 5.30pm)

Cadiz will look to record a third consecutive La Liga victory for the first time this season on Sunday, when they welcome Celta Vigo to Estadio Ramon de Carranza.
An upturn in form has seen Alvaro Cervera's side move up the La Liga table and away from the threat of relegation, while their opponents have dropped to 10th spot after a narrow 4-3 defeat to Sevilla last time out, now sitting just two places above Sunday's hosts.
We say: Cadiz 2-1 Celta Vigo
Despite the major threat of Aspas, we see Cadiz continuing their strong run of form with another impressive victory on Sunday.
Cervera's side have started to build momentum as they look to confirm their safety, and we do not see a depleted Celta Vigo side stopping them.

Getafe vs. Real Madrid (Sunday, 8.00pm)

Real Madrid will be aiming to make it five La Liga victories in a row when they travel to Coliseum Alfonso Perez on Sunday evening to take on Getafe.
Zinedine Zidane's side are currently second in the table, one point behind leaders Atletico Madrid, while Getafe occupy 15th position, just four points outside of the relegation zone.
We say: Getafe 1-2 Real Madrid
Real Madrid will be without a number of important players on Sunday, which should hand Getafe confidence, but the home side are in such disappointing form, meaning that it is difficult to back them. We are expecting a tight game this weekend but believe that the champions will do enough to secure another three points.

Fresh from booking their spot in the semi-finals of the Europa League, Villarreal will turn their attention back to La Liga this weekend as they prepare to take on Levante.
The Yellow Submarine are currently seventh in the table, one point behind fifth-placed Real Sociedad, while Levante occupy ninth spot, just one point behind Granada in eighth.
We say: Levante 1-1 Villarreal
This is a tough match for Villarreal off the back of a European contest on Thursday evening. Levante are a team to be taken extremely seriously at this level of football, and we are backing the hosts to pick up a share of the spoils against the Yellow Submarine.
