Osasuna vs Betis

Betis are in a battle for a Europa League place but their form is against them as they have just 1 win in their last 9 matches. Osasuna have just 2 defeats in their last 10 matches.

The hosts are undefeated at home in 8 matches, keeping 3 clean sheets. Betis have lost 6 and drawn 2 of their last 10 on the road, so the smart money is backing Osasuna for the win.

Mallorca vs Rayo Vallecano

The hosts are just 2 points above the relegation zone but are putting in a strong fight for their survival. After losing 4 matches on the bounce they have recovered by drawing 1 and winning 2 of their last 4 matches.

Rayo Vallecano aren’t safe from relegation but have put in some strong performances, losing just 2 of their last 11 matches. Mallorca’s home form is strong, winning 6 of 10, while Rayo Vallecano have lost 5 of their last 9 on the road, going goalless in 4 of those matches. This should be a safe win for the hosts.

Celta Vigo vs Real Oviedo

Celta Vigo are pushing for an upgrade from a Europa Conference spot to a place in the Europa League, while Ovieda are buried at the bottom of the table.

The visitors recovered from a 5-match winless streak to pick up 2 wins in their last 3 matches to breathe some life into their relegation fight. Oviedo’s form on the road is dire, losing 8 of their last 11 matches, going goalless in 5 of those matches.

Celta Vigo’s run of just 1 defeat in 9 was spoilt by losing 2 of their last 3 matches, one of which was a 2-1 defeat to Real Madrid. They have just 1 point from their last 3 home matches, but that came after a run of 6 wins in 7, so I’m backing them to hit winning form again and keep a clean sheet.

Athletic Bilbao vs Villarreal

Mid-table Athletic Bilbao are having a shocking run of form, losing 4 of their last 5 matches to nil. Villarreal are 3rd on the table and almost assured of Champions League football. They are enjoying a run of good form with 5 wins and 2 draws in their last 10 matches.

Athletic Bilbao have won just 3 of their last 9 matches at home, although those 3 wins came in their last 5 matches so they are also enjoying a good run of form. They host a Villareal side with 6 wins and 2 draws in their last 10 on the road, so this has a good chance of ending in a draw.
