Elche vs. Alaves (Saturday, 1.00pm)
Elche will be looking to stretch their unbeaten run in La Liga to five matches when they welcome struggling Alaves to Estadio Manuel Martinez Valero on Saturday afternoon.
The home side, who sit 15th in the table, played out a 2-2 draw with Real Madrid before the break, while Alaves suffered a 1-0 defeat to Barcelona to stay inside the relegation zone.
We say: Elche 1-1 Alaves
This is a really big match for both sides, and it should be a tight affair, with the two managers knowing the importance of avoiding defeat. Elche will enter the contest in the better form, but Alaves are certainly capable of securing a share of the spoils on Saturday afternoon.

Mallorca vs. Cadiz (Saturday, 3.15pm)
Two struggling La Liga sides will lock horns at Visit Mallorca Stadium on Saturday afternoon, as 17th-placed Mallorca welcome 18th-placed Cadiz.
Mallorca will enter the contest off the back of a 1-0 defeat to Rayo Vallecano in the Copa del Rey on Wednesday, while Cadiz lost 2-1 to Valencia in the same competition on the same night.
We say: Mallorca 1-1 Cadiz
Four of the last five league meetings between these two sides have finished level, including a 1-1 draw in the reverse game earlier this season, and we are again finding it difficult to separate them here, ultimately settling on a low-scoring draw.

Celta's home form this season has been disappointing, but Rayo have not travelled particularly well, which makes this a difficult match to call. Both sides are enjoying impressive campaigns, though, and there will be plenty of attacking talent on the field, so we are predicting an entertaining draw here.

Osasuna vs. Sevilla (Saturday, 8.00pm)
Title-challenging Sevilla will be looking to return to winning ways in La Liga when they travel to Estadio El Sadar on Saturday evening to take on Osasuna.
The away side are currently second in the table, four points behind leaders Real Madrid, while Osasuna occupy 11th position, boasting 28 points from their opening 22 matches of the campaign.
We say: Osasuna 1-2 Sevilla
Sevilla need to keep winning if they are to stay in touch with Real Madrid, and we are expecting the visitors to triumph here. Osasuna deserve a lot of respect for another impressive campaign to date, but Sevilla have been excellent this season, and we fancy them to secure all three points on Saturday.
