7620

The battle for the first spot is getting more and more intense but Real Madrid seems to be the most consistent side. The improvement for Barcelona under the new manager Xavi is visible but they have to keep this good form in order to finish in top 4. On the other side of the table, Levante are still seeking their first win of the season.

Sevilla FC - Villarreal CF

Sevilla lost against Real Madrid last round, although they were leading in the result, and they will be determined to keep the good form from the start of the season.

On the other hand, Villareal is struggling in the domestic league and it looks like the intense fixtures in Europe reflect on the fatigue of the players.

• In all of their 8 most recent home matches of La Liga, there have been no losses for Sevilla FC.
• In their 11 most recent away matches of all competitions, Villarreal CF have achieved just 1 win.
• At least 2 goals have been scored by Sevilla FC in all of their last 6 home matches in La Liga.
• Villarreal CF's performance has been disappointing of late, as they have won just 1 of their 10 most recent away La Liga clashes.
• Prediction: Sevilla FC @1.95

Atletico Madrid - Real Mallorca

Atletico are chasing the league leaders but their inconsistency in the defence troubles them so far.

Diego Simeone’s men have found the way to the goal but if they want to defend their title, Jan Oblak and co. must work on their improvement. Real Mallorca are out of the relegation zone but they have struggled to get the 3 points in their most recent fixtures and winning matches is vital in order to secure their place in La Liga.

• Atlético Madrid have not suffered any defeats in their 14 most recent home La Liga matches.
• Real Mallorca's performance has been disappointing of late, as they have won just 1 of their 12 most recent La Liga clashes.
• In their 33 most recent home matches of all competitions, Atlético Madrid have been undefeated 29 times.
• Real Mallorca are unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 matches in all competitions.
• Prediction: Atletico Madrid @1.30

Elche CF - Cadiz CF

This match will be vital for both teams in the relegation battle as they have equal points and sit on 17th and 18th position in the standings.

The problems in the Cadiz defence are visible as they have conceded 27 goals this term. Elche remains a tough opponent to beat but their lack of chances drops them in the bottom half of the table.

• Elche CF have won just 7 of their last 48 matches in La Liga.
• Cadiz CF haven't lost to Elche CF in 9 of their 11 most recent games in all competitions.
• The average number of goals scored by Elche CF is 0.86 for their home matches in La Liga.
• Cadiz CF have won only 1 of their last 10 all competitions matches.
• Prediction: Draw @3.10

Levante UD - CA Osasuna

Levante are the only team without a win but they still have chances to secure their place in La Liga. Osasuna, on the other hand, have a good record in their travels and they grabbed 13 points away from home.

• In their 26 most recent matches of La Liga, Levante UD have achieved just 1 win.
• CA Osasuna have failed to score a single goal in their last 3 away all competitions games.
• Levante UD are reaching an average of 0.86 goals in home all competitions games.
