Valencia will be aiming to make it four La Liga wins in a row when they continue their campaign with a clash against Rayo Vallecano on Saturday afternoon.

Los Che are in excellent form, winning four of their last five, which has seen them rise into 13th spot in the La Liga table, while Rayo are 10th, three points above their opponents in this weekend’s contest.

We say: Rayo Vallecano 1-1 Valencia

Valencia are in excellent form, but they have only won one of their 15 away league matches this season, and that record cannot be ignored – we are expecting Rayo to be good enough for a point on Saturday, as they have only lost five times at home in La Liga this term.

Barcelona will be aiming to open up a seven-point lead at the top of the La Liga table when they welcome European-chasing Celta Vigo to Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys on Saturday afternoon.

Hansi Flick’s side sit four points clear of second-placed Real Madrid at the summit heading into the next gameweek, while Celta are seventh, five points behind sixth-placed Real Betis in the battle for Europe.

We say: Barcelona 2-1 Celta Vigo

This has the potential to be a very tricky match for Barcelona, especially off the back of a difficult match in Germany; Celta’s recent form has been excellent, but we are expecting the Catalan team to navigate their way to a huge three points.

European-chasing Mallorca will be aiming to make it successive wins in Spain’s top flight when they continue their campaign with a home fixture against relegation-threatened Leganes on Saturday evening.

Mallorca are currently eighth in the La Liga table, boasting 43 points from their 31 league matches this season, while Leganes are 19th, having picked up just 28 points from their 31 games during the 2024-25 campaign.

We say: Mallorca 1-0 Leganes

Two of the last three La Liga meetings between these two sides have finished 1-0, including earlier this season, and we are predicting the same scoreline here. Both teams have struggled to score goals this term, but Mallorca have been relatively strong defensively, and we are backing Arrasate’s side to secure all three points in this contest.

Atletico Madrid will be aiming to make it three La Liga victories in a row when they continue their campaign with an away match against relegation-threatened Las Palmas on Sunday night.

Diego Simeone’s side are third in the La Liga table, seven points behind the leaders Barcelona, while Las Palmas occupy 18th, one point behind 17th-placed Alaves in the battle to remain in the division.

We say: Las Palmas 1-2 Atletico Madrid

Las Palmas will enter this match off the back of a morale-boosting victory, and we are expecting them to score on Saturday considering their talent in the final third of the field; Atletico, though, should be able to navigate their way to all three points.
