- Espanyol have taken one point from their last nine league away games
- Athletic Bilbao are unbeaten in their last 15 LaLiga matches
- Leganes’ two wins in their last 11 games came against Barcelona and Atletico Madrid

It is turning into a thrilling LaLiga title race with just a point separating Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid before this weekend’s full fixture list in the Spanish top flight.

Athletic Bilbao will want to boost their chances of Champions League qualification with a win over bottom-of-the-table Real Valladolid, while Alaves can climb out of the bottom three with a home win over Espanyol.

Ian Wilkerson has correct-score picks for all 10 Spanish La Liga matches this weekend.

Celta Vigo vs Osasuna (Friday, 8pm)

Both teams have scored in Celta Vigo’s last six games, but they have won just one of them. Three of Osasuna’s last four league games have finished 1-1 and this one may too..

Score prediction: Celta Vigo 1-1 Osasuna

Alaves vs Espanyol (Saturday, 1pm)

Do not expect many goals here as Alaves’ last six league home games have all featured two or fewer. Espanyol have taken one point from their last nine league away games so a narrow home win looks likely.

Score prediction: Alaves 1-0 Espanyol

Rayo Vallecano vs Villarreal (Saturday, 3.15pm)

Rayo Vallecano won three straight games before last week’s 1-0 reverse at Barcelona, but Villarreal have lost just three league road matches this term, so these two could cancel each other out.

Score prediction: Rayo Vallecano 1-1 Villarreal

Valencia vs Atletico Madrid (Saturday, 5.30pm)

Struggling Valencia have won their last three home matches, but title-chasing Atletico Madrid have lost just twice on the road in the league this season and can bring them back down to earth.

Score prediction: Valencia 0-2 Atletico Madrid

Las Palmas vs Barcelona (Saturday, 8pm)

Las Palmas have secured just one point from their last six matches and this looks set to be a comfortable evening for Barcelona, who won 4-1 at Sevilla in their last away game in the league.

Score prediction: Las Palmas 1-4 Barcelona

Athletic Bilbao vs Real Valladolid (Sunday, 1pm)

Athletic Bilbao are fourth in the table after a 15-match unbeaten run and they should have far too much for bottom side Real Valladolid, who have lost nine of their last 11 league games.

Score prediction: Athletic Bilbao 3-0 Real Valladolid

Real Madrid vs Girona (Sunday, 3.15pm)

Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are the only visiting teams to have taken anything from a trip to Real Madrid this season and that is unlikely to change with Girona having conceded at least twice in four of their last five league away games.

Score prediction: Real Madrid 3-0 Girona

Getafe vs Real Betis (Sunday, 5.30pm)

Getafe are unbeaten in their last six league games and they could have too much for Real Betis, whose 3-0 win over Real Sociedad last week was only their third win since the end of October.

Score prediction: Getafe 2-0 Real Betis

Real Sociedad vs Leganes (Sunday, 8pm)

Leganes’ two wins in their last 11 games came against Barcelona and Atletico Madrid and they could gain another notable success with Real Sociedad having lost four of their last five league outings.

Score prediction: Real Sociedad 0-1 Leganes

Sevilla vs Mallorca (Monday, 8pm)

Sevilla have scored more than one goal in just one of their home league games this term, but that might be enough against Mallorca, who have notched only once in their last four league away matches.

Score prediction: Sevilla 1-0 Mallorca
