- Valencia are unbeaten in nine matches, winning five
- Villarreal have claimed seven 2-1 wins on the road this season
-  Barcelona have scored 11 goals in normal time in three Clasico's this season

It's a massive week in the LaLiga title race as Barcelona, who are four points clear at the summit, face their closest challengers, Real Madrid, in the fourth Clasico of the season.

Barca suffered Champions League heartache against Inter on Tuesday evening and will bid to bounce straight back when they meet their rivals at 3.15pm on Sunday.

Las Palmas vs Rayo Vallecano (Friday, 8pm)

Back-to-back losses have plunged Las Palmas into trouble and, having claimed just five points from their last eight matches at home, they're far from certain to defeat Rayo Vallecano. The visitors can grind to a 12th draw of the season.

Score prediction: Las Palmas 1-1 Rayo Vallecano

Valencia vs Getafe (Saturday, 1pm)

Resurgent Valencia have gone from relegation candidates to European contenders and can further their top-eight hopes with a win over Getafe. Los Che have won four of their last six matches, while Getafe are on a four-match losing run.

Score prediction: Valencia 1-0 Getafe

Celta Vigo vs Sevilla (Saturday, 3.15pm)

Celta Vigo beat Villarreal 3-0 at home on either side of competitive road defeats at Barcelona (4-3) and Real Madrid (3-2), and they should account for Sevilla. The visitors are winless in seven and are limping towards the finish line.

Score prediction: Celta Vigo 2-1 Sevilla

Girona vs Villarreal (Saturday, 5.30pm)

Villarreal are in pole position to claim a top-five place and should see off Girona, who have been unable to match their brilliant 2023/24 season. The Yellow Submarine have claimed the majority of their points on the road this season.

Score prediction: Girona 1-2 Villarreal

Real Mallorca vs Real Valladolid (Saturday, 5.30pm)

Mallorca have faltered in recent weeks but it would be a surprise if they fail to beat relegated Real Valladolid at Son Moix. While Mallorca may lack the attacking quality to run up a big score, their visitors have lost 16 of their 17 away matches.

Score prediction: Mallorca 2-0 Real Valladolid

Atletico Madrid vs Real Sociedad (Saturday, 8pm)

Atletico Madrid are booked for third but should see off stumbling Real Sociedad on home turf. Atleti have won eight LaLiga home matches to nil this season, while La Real have failed to find the net in three of their last four.

Score prediction: Atletico Madrid 2-0 Real Sociedad

Leganes vs Espanyol (Sunday, 1pm)

Leganes are winless in eight and will be desperate for points in their bid to avoid relegation. Only Valladolid have lost more away matches than Espanyol, which suggests the hosts have a chance.

Score prediction: Leganes 1-0 Espanyol

Barcelona vs Real Madrid (Sunday, 3.15pm)

Barcelona have seen off Real Madrid in La Liga, the Super Cup final and the Copa del Rey final (after extra-time) and they are taken to bounce back from their Champions League exit. Barca are averaging 2.7 goals per game at home, so expect a high-scoring Clasico contest.

Score prediction: Barcelona 3-1 Real Madrid

Athletic Bilbao vs Alaves (Sunday, 5.30pm)

Athletic Bilbao are looking to cement their top-five status and can move closer to Champions League qualification with a win over fellow Basque club Alaves. The hosts have been hit with a few injuries, but they have suffered just one defeat and conceded 10 goals at San Mames.

Score prediction: Athletic Bilbao 1-0 Alaves

Real Betis vs Osasuna (Sunday, 8pm)

Real Betis have been coping well with domestic and European commitments and can claim three points at home to Osasuna. Betis have claimed five La Liga home wins since the start of February, while Osasuna have mustered just 14 points on their travels.

Score prediction: Real Betis 2-1 Osasuna
