The race for the La Liga title continues this weekend, with Barcelona and Real Madrid both in action. There are also potentially season-defining matches at the bottom of the standings on matchday 34. You can find our La Liga picks here.
Rayo Vallecano vs. Getafe
Vallecano’s record in this fixture would be a major concern, as they have won just twice in their last nine against Getafe. They also come into this round having failed to win their last four in La Liga.
However, with the pressure increasing on the hosts, we will be siding with them to land maximum points on Friday.

Rayo Vallecano (+140)

Alaves vs. Atletico Madrid
Alaves have recorded victories in two of their last five against Atletico. The capital club have also lost on their last two visits to Alaves. It would also be a worry that Atletico have won just 38% of their away matches against their opponents.
However, the quality of the visitors should come to the fore in La Liga this weekend.
Pick
Atletico Madrid (+115)

Villarreal vs. Osasuna
Villarreal ended a club-record winless sequence in home matches with a success in their previous fixture at El Madrigal. However, Osasuna have recorded wins in each of their last three.
The visitors also come into this round after winning two of their last four on the road against their opponents.
Pick
Osasuna (+490)

Las Palmas vs. Valencia
Valencia have a concerning record in this fixture, having lost six of the last 12 meetings between the sides. The visitors have also lost their previous four matches in Gran Canaria in La Liga.
The home record of the hosts could be the trend worth following, despite the fact that Valencia have avoided defeat in their last eight.
Pick
Las Palmas (+165)

Valladolid vs. Barcelona
Barcelona have suffered defeats in two of their last five away matches against Valladolid. However, the Catalonian giants recorded an excellent 7-0 win in the reverse fixture this term.
It is incredibly hard to overlook the title-chasing visitors, who have avoided defeat in their last 14 league matches.
Pick
Barcelona (-605)

Real Madrid vs. Celta Vigo
Real Madrid have avoided defeat in their last 21 La Liga matches against Celta Vigo, scoring in every match across that period.
Los Blancos have won their previous three matches by a one-goal margin, and another tight affair is likely against an opponent that has won two of their previous three.
Pick
Real Madrid (-275)

Sevilla vs. Leganes
Leganes have won three of their last six matches against Sevilla in La Liga. However, they have won just once in eight away matches across all competitions against their opponents.
Both sides come into this round in poor form, but the preference is for the hosts to snap their six-game winless run.
Pick
Sevilla (-128)

Espanyol vs. Betis
Espanyol have recorded just a single victory in their last ten league matches against Betis in La Liga. Betis have won on three of their last seven trips to their opponents.
The visitors have also gone five without defeat. However, with European commitments on the agenda, the preference is for Espanyol to extend their ten-game unbeaten run in home matches.
Pick
Espanyol (+266)

Real Sociedad vs. Athletic Bilbao
Real Sociedad have suffered four defeats in their last six La Liga matches against Bilbao.
However, Bilbao have failed to win on their last seven trips to Anoeta. Bilbao have suffered just five defeats in 33 games, but 12 draws have been accumulated throughout the season. Another tie could be on the agenda this Sunday.

The Draw (+223)

Girona vs. Mallorca
Girona continue to flirt dangerously with relegation this season after losing four of their last five matches.
Mallorca have won just once across their last five. The pressure will be increased on the hosts this Monday, meaning that we could foresee them claiming an important victory on home soil.
Pick
Girona (+104)
