Rayo Vallecano vs. Elche (Sunday, 1.00pm)
Rayo Vallecano will be eager to build on their impressive start to the season when they welcome mid-table Elche to the Estadio de Vallecas on Sunday afternoon.
Elche will be desperate for a win to distance themselves from the relegation zone, whilst Vallecano could find themselves in a European spot by the end of the weekend, should results go their way.
We say: Rayo Vallecano 1-0 Elche
Having only won promotion from the second tier last season, Rayo's targets this season would have likely looked something similar to Elche's, yet focus has shifted away from a relegation battle, for now.
Vallecano can maintain their best start to a season in over 20 years with a victory over Elche, something that looks likely given the pair's form.

Celta Vigo vs. Sevilla (Sunday, 3.15pm)
Sevilla will be looking to keep pace with the leaders at the top of La Liga when they travel to strugglers Celta Vigo on Sunday afternoon.
Celta are currently hovering just above the relegation zone, with their 10-season spell in the first tier under threat, whilst Sevilla sit just behind a trio of sides level at the top on 17 points.
We say: Celta Vigo 0-2 Sevilla
Sevilla have been in irresistible form for the most part of this season and despite a slight blip pre-international break, expect the side from the South of Spain to shine in Vigo.
This match will not define Celta's season, yet they will be hoping to avoid a hiding, whilst protecting their goal difference.

Villarreal vs. Osasuna (Sunday, 5.30pm)
Villarreal will be looking to make it back-to-back wins in Spain's top flight when they continue their 2021-22 La Liga campaign at home to an in-form Osasuna on Sunday night.
The Yellow Submarine are currently 11th in the table, having picked up 11 points from seven matches this season, while Osasuna are up in fifth, collecting 14 points from their opening eight fixtures.
We say: Villarreal 1-1 Osasuna
Osasuna's form in the early stages of the season has been excellent, while Villarreal have found it difficult to get over the line in terms of wins despite some impressive performances. We are expecting this to be a very close match and have had to settle on a low-scoring draw taking everything into consideration.

Barcelona vs. Valencia (Sunday, 8.00pm)
Barcelona will be looking to return to winning ways when they continue their 2021-22 La Liga campaign at home to Valencia on Sunday night.
The Catalan giants are currently ninth in the table, having picked up 12 points from their opening seven matches, while Valencia occupy eighth, level on points with Barcelona ahead of the clash at Camp Nou.
We say: Barcelona 2-1 Valencia
This is a very, very difficult match to call, and we went back and forth before settling on a narrow Barcelona win. Valencia are more than capable of picking up a positive result, but Los Che were struggling before the international break, and we fancy Koeman's side to put an incredibly important three points on the board.
