Real Madrid produced a remarkable turnaround to beat Manchester City 3-2 in the first leg of their Champions League play-off clash and Los Blancos resume domestic duty on Saturday when they face Osasuna in Week 24 of the LaLiga season.
Los Blancos' Saturday trip to Pamplona is one of 10 LaLiga fixtures taking place this week. Their title rivals Atletico Madrid will host Celta Vigo later that day before Barcelona take on Vallecano in Montjuic on Monday.
Joe Champion has correct-score picks for all 10 LaLiga matches.
Girona vs Getafe (Friday, 8pm)
This looks set to be an entertaining contest. Girona have scored 21 goals on their home patch this season — the fifth-best record in LaLiga — while Getafe are playing well enough to make their mark.
Score prediction: Girona 2-1 Getafe
Leganes vs Alaves (Saturday, 1pm)
This is a tight one to call which suggests a draw is likely. Leganes have suffered five defeats in six home matches but Alaves have won just one of their last 11, drawing five times, and could fail to take advantage.
Score prediction: Leganes 1-1 Alaves
Osasuna vs Real Madrid (Saturday, 3.15pm)
Real Madrid can follow up their Champions League triumph over Manchester City with a high-scoring win against Osasuna. Real's firepower should prove too much for the hosts but they have kept just one clean sheet in six LaLiga matches.
Score prediction: Osasuna 1-3 Real Madrid
Atletico Madrid vs Celta Vigo (Saturday, 5.30pm)
&w=707&quality=100)
Atletico Madrid can fuel their title ambitions by recording a win to nil over Celta Vigo. The hosts have the best defensive record in LaLiga while the visitors have not won on the road in the league since early October.
Score prediction: Atletico Madrid 1-0 Celta Vigo
Villarreal vs Valencia (Saturday, 8pm)
Villarreal have claimed 10 points from their last four games, scoring 12 goals in the process, and can outclass Valencia. The visitors are improving under Carlos Corberan but just four of their 22 points have come on the road.
Score prediction: Villarreal 2-1 Valencia
Espanyol vs Athletic Bilbao (Sunday, 1pm)
&w=707&quality=100)
Espanyol are proving tough to beat on their own patch and stretched their unbeaten home run to six matches with a 1-0 win over Real Madrid at the start of the month. Athletic Bilbao, meanwhile, have drawn two of their last four on their travels.
Score prediction: Espanyol 1-1 Athletic Bilbao
Real Valladolid vs Sevilla (Sunday, 3.15pm)
Sevilla have claimed four points from their last two away matches and are facing a Valladolid side who are cut adrift at the bottom of the table. The visitors can record a rare road victory.
Score prediction: Real Valladolia 0-1 Sevilla
Real Mallorca vs Las Palmas (Sunday, 5.30pm)
There should be goals at San Moix. Mallorca have been far from prolific but they are facing a Las Palmas team who have kept just two LaLiga clean sheets this season. The visitors have, however, managed to score in their last six fixtures.
Score prediction: Real Mallorca 1-1 Las Palmas
Real Betis vs Real Sociedad (Sunday, 8pm)
Real Betis can edge a tight clash. The hosts have lost just two games at the Benito Villamarin this season and visitors Sociedad have lacked cutting edge on their travels, scoring just eight goals.
Score prediction: Real Betis 1-0 Real Sociedad
Barcelona vs Rayo Vallecano (Monday, 8pm)
Barcelona can prevail in a high-scoring contest — the hosts are LaLiga's leading scorers with 64 goals and they put Sevilla to the sword last time out, winning 4-1. Rayo Vallecano can play their part but may ultimately be outclassed.
Score prediction: Barcelona 3-1 Rayo Vallecano
