Both teams have scored in Real Sociedad's last nine home matches
Real Madrid have kept a clean sheet in three of their last four away games
Barcelona have scored 10 goals in their last three home matches
Real Madrid are back at the LaLiga summit following Barcelona's shock 2-1 loss at Girona last week and Los Blancos will bid to stretch their lead to five points when they head to Pamplona to take on Osasuna on Saturday.
Barca, who were also humbled 4-0 by Atletico Madrid in the Copa del Rey recently, will expect to get back to winning ways when lowly Levante visit the Camp Nou.
Athletic Bilbao vs Elche (Friday, 8pm)
Athletic Bilbao have won back-to-back LaLiga matches and will bid to push on towards the European places against Elche.
The visitors are winless in eight, so it would come as a surprise if the home side were unable to register a victory.
Score prediction: Athletic Bilbao 2-1 Elche
Real Sociedad vs Real Oviedo (Saturday, 1pm)
Real Sociedad were no match for Real Madrid at the Bernabeu last week, but they have won four of their last six league matches and should prove too strong for Real Oviedo.
The hosts are far from watertight at the back, however and may have to do it the hard way.
Score prediction: Real Sociedad 2-1 Real Oviedo
Real Betis vs Rayo Vallecano (Saturday, 3:15pm)
Real Betis should make it five league wins in six games when Rayo Vallecano head to Seville.
The visitors shocked local rivals Atletico last week, but they have lost four straight league away games, scoring only once in that period.
Score prediction: Real Betis 2-0 Rayo Vallecano
Osasuna vs Real Madrid (Saturday, 5:30pm)
Real Madrid have found top form to record four wins in February, but they will be wary of the threat posed by Osasuna, who are unbeaten in five league matches.
This could turn into a grind for the visitors, who might have to settle for victory via a single goal.
Score prediction: Osasuna 0-1 Real Madrid
Atletico Madrid vs Espanyol (Saturday, 8pm)
Atletico Madrid have been inconsistent of late and will likely have one eye on their midweek Champions League playoff second-leg clash with Club Brugge.
They should still have too much for Espanyol, who are winless in seven.
Score prediction: Atletico Madrid 3-1 Espanyol
Getafe vs Sevilla (Sunday, 1pm)
Back-to-back wins have catapulted Getafe up the table and they will view a home clash with Sevilla as a good chance to complete a hat-trick of victories.
The visitors are winless in five on the road and look vulnerable.
Score prediction: Getafe 1-0 Sevilla
Barcelona vs Levante (Sunday, 3:15pm)
Barcelona need a statement win and can deliver one against Levante, who are seven points adrift of safety and who have lost three on the bounce.
The Catalan giants have won 11 straight home matches and should cut loose here.
Score prediction: Barcelona 4-0 Levante
Celta Vigo vs Mallorca (Sunday, 5:30pm)
Celta Vigo face a tight turnaround after Thursday's Europa League trip to Greece and might not be at their best at home to Mallorca.
The hosts had drawn three of their last four matches heading into their fixture against PAOK.
Score prediction: Celta Vigo 1-1 Mallorca
Villarreal vs Valencia (Sunday, 8pm)
Villarreal have found form after a stumble and can make it three victories in four games when they welcome Valencia to the Ceramica.
Los Che are 22 points worse off than their hosts and just nine of their 26 points have come on the road.
Score prediction: Villarreal 2-1 Valencia
Alaves vs Girona (Monday, 8pm)
Alaves have been at their best at Mendizorrotza but are not certain to see off Girona, who are still riding high after their stunning win over Barca.
The visitors have suffered just one loss in seven and can bag a point on their travels.
Score prediction: Alaves 1-1 Girona
