Deportivo Alaves v Real Mallorca

Friday, November 1 – 9pm CET – Mendizorrotza Stadium

Deportivo Alaves, sitting 16th, will be looking to end their five-match losing streak with a win over seventh-placed Mallorca, with whom they shared the spoils last season. Enjoying better form and unbeaten in their last five games against Alaves, back the visitors to secure a win.

Osasuna v Real Valladolid

Saturday, November 2 – 2pm CET – El Sadar Stadium

Eighth-placed Osasuna can climb up the table with a win over Real Valladolid, who are second from bottom. Expect the hosts to cruise to victory against the side with the poorest defensive record this season.

Girona v Leganes

Saturday, November 2 – 4:15pm CET – Estadi Montilivi

A position ahead of their opponents, Girona will be determined to extend their one-point lead over Leganes in the bottom half of the table. Runaway winners in their last encounter at the Montilivi Stadium, anticipate the hosts to grind out a win despite having numerous injury concerns.

Villarreal v Rayo Vallecano

Saturday, November 2 – 6:30pm CET – Estadi de la Ceramica

A potential third force in the race for the Liga crown, third-placed Villarreal will be hoping to advance their title hopes with a win over Rayo Vallecano, six places below them in the league. Ayoze Perez scored a midweek hat-trick in the Copa del Rey, and online bookmakers are paying +175 for the Spaniard to strike at any time against Vallecano.

Valencia v Real Madrid

Saturday, November 2 – 9pm CET – Mestalla Stadium

Thrashed 4-0 by arch-rivals Barcelona last Saturday, Real Madrid will be eager to return to winning ways against bottom-placed Valencia. Vinicius Jr has netted five times this season, and leading soccer betting sites are paying +120 for the Brazilian forward in the anytime goalscorer market.

Atletico Madrid v Las Palmas

Sunday, November 3 – 2pm CET – Metropolitano Stadium

Beaten 1-0 by Real Betis last Sunday, fourth-placed Atletico Madrid will be confident of bouncing back against Las Palmas, who are third from bottom. Expect Diego Simeone’s men — who have triumphed in their last four games against the Gran Canarian outfit — to secure maximum points.

Barcelona v Espanyol

Sunday, November 3 – 4:15pm CET – Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys

Enjoying a six-point lead at the top of the table following their El Clasico exploits, hosts Barcelona will be aiming to extend their winning run against Espanyol, who have lost four of their last five outings. Having netted a brace against Real Madrid, back the prolific Robert Lewandowski to score first at +240 with Nags.bet.

Sevilla v Real Sociedad

Sunday, November 3 – 6:30pm CET – Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium

Separated by three points, 10th-placed Sevilla will be aspiring to widen their gap with Real Sociedad in 12th. Triumphant in five of their last seven home games, back the Palanganas to win on home soil.

Athletic Bilbao v Real Betis

Sunday, November 3 – 9pm CET – Estadio de San Mames

Held to a goalless draw with Mallorca in their last match, fifth-placed Athletic Bilbao will be looking to create some breathing room between themselves and Real Betis, who are in sixth. Expect Bilbao — who won this fixture last season — to get over the line.

Celta Vigo v Getafe

Monday, November 4 – 9pm CET – Estadio de Balaidos

Celta Vigo have dropped to 11th after losing their last two games, while Getafe are four places lower having drawn their last three matches. Unbeaten in their last three home games against Getafe, expect the trend to continue.
