Deportivo Alaves, sitting 16th, will be looking to end their five-match losing streak with a win over seventh-placed Mallorca, with whom they shared the spoils last season. Enjoying better form and unbeaten in their last five games against Alaves, back the visitors to secure a win.

Osasuna v Real Valladolid

Sunday, November 3 – 12am AEDT – El Sadar Stadium

Eighth-placed Osasuna can climb up the table with a win over Real Valladolid, who are second from bottom. Expect the hosts to cruise to victory against the side with the poorest defensive record this season.

Girona v Leganes

Sunday, November 3 – 2:15am AEDT – Estadi Montilivi

A position ahead of their opponents, Girona will be determined to extend their one-point lead over Leganes in the bottom half of the table. Runaway winners in their last encounter at the Montilivi Stadium, anticipate the hosts to grind out a win despite having numerous injury concerns.

Villarreal v Rayo Vallecano

Sunday, November 3 – 4:30am AEDT – Estadi de la Ceramica

A potential third force in the race for the Liga crown, third-placed Villarreal will be hoping to advance their title hopes with a win over Rayo Vallecano, six places below them in the league. Ayoze Perez scored a midweek hat-trick in the Copa del Rey, and online bookmakers are paying +175 for the Spaniard to strike at any time against Vallecano.

Valencia v Real Madrid

Sunday, November 3 – 7am AEDT – Mestalla Stadium

Thrashed 4-0 by arch-rivals Barcelona last Saturday, Real Madrid will be eager to return to winning ways against bottom-placed Valencia. Vinicius Jr has netted five times this season, and leading sports betting sites are paying +120 for the Brazilian forward in the anytime goalscorer market.

Atletico Madrid v Las Palmas

Monday, November 4 – 12am AEDT – Metropolitano Stadium

Beaten 1-0 by Real Betis last Sunday, fourth-placed Atletico Madrid will be confident of bouncing back against Las Palmas, who are third from bottom. Expect Diego Simeone’s men — who have triumphed in their last four games against the Gran Canarian outfit — to secure maximum points.

Barcelona v Espanyol

Monday, November 4 – 2:15am AEDT – Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys

Enjoying a six-point lead at the top of the table following their El Clasico exploits, hosts Barcelona will be aiming to extend their winning run against Espanyol, who have lost four of their last five outings.

Sevilla v Real Sociedad

Monday, November 4 – 4:30am AEDT – Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium

Separated by three points, 10th-placed Sevilla will be aspiring to widen their gap with Real Sociedad in 12th. Triumphant in five of their last seven home games, back the Palanganas to win on home soil.

Athletic Bilbao v Real Betis

Monday, November 4 – 7am AEDT – Estadio de San Mames

Held to a goalless draw with Mallorca in their last match, fifth-placed Athletic Bilbao will be looking to create some breathing room between themselves and Real Betis, who are in sixth. Expect Bilbao — who won this fixture last season — to get over the line.

Celta Vigo v Getafe
