• Barcelona are top goalscorers in LaLiga this season with 57

• Real Madrid are on a five-game winning streak in LaLiga

• Athletic Bilbao are winless in their last five LaLiga games

Barcelona will look to extend their lead to four points on Saturday night when they make the trip to Elche, while Real Madrid must wait until Sunday lunchtime before they host Rayo Vallecano at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Espanyol vs Alaves (Friday, 8pm)

Espanyol are yet to win a game in 2026 in LaLiga, but that can change when they host Alaves at RCDE Stadium. The Periquitos have won all of their last four home games against Alaves and that trend can continue on Friday night.

Score prediction: Espanyol 1-0 Alaves

Real Oviedo vs Girona (Saturday, 1pm)

Winning just two games all season, Real Oviedo are in real trouble at the bottom of the table and things will not get any easier against 10th-place Girona on Saturday.

Unbeaten in their last four games (3W, 1D), Girona should prove too strong for an Oviedo side who have scored just 11 goals in 21 league games this season.

Score prediction: Real Oviedo 0-2 Girona

Osasuna vs Villarreal (Saturday, 3.15pm)

Failing to score in their last two games, the goals have dried up for Villarreal in recent weeks.

Osasuna are on a two-match winning streak and, with home advantage, they can make it three defeats on the spin for Villarreal this weekend.

Score prediction: Osasuna 2-1 Villarreal

Levante vs Atletico Madrid (Saturday, 5.30pm)

After the disappointment of their Champions League defeat at home to Bodø/Glimt on Wednesday night, Atletico Madrid can get back in the saddle with victory on the road at a Levante side who have won just four of their 20 LaLiga games this season.

Score prediction: Levante 0-2 Atletico Madrid

Elche vs Barcelona (Saturday, 8pm)

Cruising to a 3-0 win in their last LaLiga outing against Oviedo, another one-sided affair might well be on the cards when Barcelona head to Elche.

The Bluagrana have scored three or more goals in nine of their last 11 games against Elche and another comprehensive win is in the offing for Barca this weekend.

Score prediction: Elche 0-4 Barcelona

Real Madrid vs Rayo Vallecano (Sunday, 1pm)

Real Madrid should keep pace with Barca at the top of the standings with a comfortable win of their own against Rayo Vallecano.

Los Blancos are unbeaten in their last 16 home games against Vallecano and should come out on top again at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Score prediction: Real Madrid 2-0 Rayo Vallecano

Real Betis vs Valencia (Sunday, 3.15pm)

Valencia have enjoyed a recent upturn in fortunes after back-to-back wins and they might be able to leave Seville with something to show for their efforts.

The last two meetings between these sides have ended in 1-1 draws and that trend could continue this weekend.

Score prediction: Real Betis 1-1 Valencia

Getafe vs Celta Vigo (Sunday, 5.30pm)

Winless in their last eight games in all competitions, Getafe are in miserable form as they prepare to host Celta Vigo on Sunday.

Celta have been impressing in recent weeks and are backed to leave the Estadio Coliseum with the spoils.

Score prediction: Getafe 0-1 Celta Vigo

Athletic Bilbao vs Real Sociedad (Sunday, 8pm)

Failing to win any of their last five LaLiga games, it is hard to see Athletic Bilbao preventing Real Sociedad from making it three wins on the bounce in this Basque derby on Sunday.

Score prediction: Athletic Bilbao 0-2 Real Sociedad

Mallorca vs Sevilla (Monday, 8pm)

Neither Mallorca nor Sevilla are in good form going into Monday night's encounter.

Two of the last three meetings between these teams have ended in draws and another stalemate would be of little surprise here.

Score prediction: Mallorca 0-0 Sevilla
