Real Valladolid v Real Sociedad

Saturday, September 21 – 2pm CEST – Estadio Jose Zorrilla

Level on four points, both Valladolid and Real Sociedad will be aiming to secure maximum points this Saturday. Given that this encounter has ended in a stalemate in six of their last seven meetings at the Jose Zorrilla Stadium, another draw is probable.

Valencia v Girona

Saturday, September 21 – 6:30pm CEST – Mestalla Stadium

Girona have two wins thus far, while bottom-placed Valencia have lost four of their first five games. Triumphant both home and away last season, expect Girona to secure a hard-fought win on the road.

Real Madrid v Espanyol

Saturday, September 21 – 9pm CEST – Santiago Bernabeu Stadium

Third-placed Real Madrid will be eager to extend their winning run against Espanyol, who are in the bottom half of the table. After netting four goals in his last three games in all competitions, online bookmakers are paying +260 for Kylian Mbappe to score first against the visitors.

Getafe v Leganes

Sunday, September 22 – 2pm CEST – Coliseum Stadium

Getafe will be hoping to claw themselves out of the relegation zone with a win over Leganes, who are three places above them. Expect the hosts — who were victorious in their last two meetings — to secure a win.

Athletic Bilbao v Celta Vigo

Sunday, September 22 – 4:15pm CEST – Estadio de San Mames

Hosts Athletic Bilbao will be eager to secure their third consecutive win against Celta Vigo, who trail them with one point. Expect Bilbao to make it three wins from their last three games against Celta Vigo at San Mames.

Villarreal v Barcelona

Sunday, September 22 – 6:30pm CEST – Estadio de la Ceramica

League leaders Barcelona will be looking to extend their perfect start with a win over fourth-placed Villarreal. With three goals from his last two games in all competitions, back Barca’s Lamine Yamal to score any time at +220 with leading sports betting sites.

Rayo Vallecano v Atletico Madrid

Sunday, September 22 – 9pm CEST – Estadio de Vallecas

Four points behind Barcelona, second-placed Atletico Madrid will be hoping to advance their title credentials with a win over Rayo Vallecano, who are ninth on the table. Expect Diego Simeone’s side to cruise to victory against Vallecano, whom they thumped 7-0 at the Vallecas Stadium last season.

Real Betis v Real Mallorca

Monday, September 23 – 9pm CEST – Estadio Benito Villamarin

Level on eight points, Real Mallorca could have a tough assignment away to Betis, who have a game in hand. With five consecutive league wins against Mallorca, expect the Verdiblancos to extend their winning run on home soil.
