Celta Vigo will be bidding to make it three La Liga victories in a row when they continue their domestic campaign at home to lowly Almeria on Sunday afternoon.
The Sky Blues are currently 10th in the table, now eight points clear of the relegation zone, while Almeria sit 19th, one point behind 17th-placed Espanyol heading into the next set of fixtures.
We say: Celta Vigo 1-0 Almeria
Almeria's away record this season is extremely poor, so it is difficult to back them on their travels. Celta's recent form has been excellent, meanwhile, and we are expecting the Sky Blues to pick up another three points, but it might be tight in terms of the scoreline.

We say: Real Madrid 2-0 Real Valladolid
This might not be a straightforward match for Real Madrid, as Real Valladolid are battling for their lives towards the bottom of the division.
