Mallorca vs. Granada (Saturday, 1.00pm)
Two teams battling to remain in La Liga will lock horns for a key contest on Saturday afternoon, as Mallorca welcome Granada to Visit Mallorca Estadi.
Mallorca are currently 16th in Spain's top flight, one point ahead of 18th-placed Granada, with both teams having four league games left to play of the 2021-22 campaign.
We say: Mallorca 2-1 Granada
Mallorca have won their last two league matches on home soil, and we fancy the hosts to triumph once again here. Both teams are in desperate need of the points, but we believe that Mallorca will shade a close match to collect a hugely important three points.

Athletic Bilbao vs. Valencia (Saturday, 3.15pm)
Athletic Bilbao will be looking to make it three straight wins in La Liga when they continue their domestic campaign at home to Valencia on Saturday afternoon.
The Basque outfit are currently eighth in the table, five points behind sixth-placed Real Sociedad, while Valencia occupy 10th, eight points behind their opponents this weekend.
We say: Athletic Bilbao 2-1 Valencia
Valencia are struggling to pick up wins at the moment, but the same cannot be said for Athletic, who will now have sixth-placed Real Sociedad in their sights. Valencia are capable of picking up a positive result here, but we are backing Athletic to secure all three points courtesy of a narrow success.

Cadiz vs. Elche (Saturday, 5.30pm)
Relegation-threatened Cadiz will be looking to boost their La Liga survival hopes when they welcome Elche to Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla on Saturday evening.
The home side are currently 17th in the table, one point clear of 18th-placed Granada, while Elche occupy 13th spot, eight points clear of the relegation zone with four games left.
We say: Cadiz 1-1 Elche
Cadiz need the points more than Elche, but the visitors will enter this match in impressive form. We are finding it difficult to back Cadiz to lose under the circumstances but are also struggling to tip a defeat for Elche, so a low-scoring draw could be on the cards this weekend.

Celta Vigo vs. Alaves (Saturday, 5.30pm)
Alaves' bid to escape the relegation zone in La Liga will continue on Saturday evening when they make the trip to Balaidos to take on Celta Vigo.
The visitors are currently 19th in the table, four points behind 17th-placed Cadiz, while Celta occupy 12th position, picking up 40 points from their 34 league games this term.
We say: Celta Vigo 1-1 Alaves
Alaves desperately need wins at this stage of the season, but they have only been victorious on one occasion on their travels in La Liga this term. The Basque outfit have shown recent improvement, though, and we believe that they will be good enough for a point on Saturday evening.

Real Betis vs. Barcelona (Saturday, 8.00pm)
Barcelona will be looking to strengthen their grip on second spot in the La Liga table when they make the trip to Seville on Saturday evening to take on fifth-placed Real Betis.
The Catalan giants are currently two points clear of third-placed Sevilla, while Real Betis are three points behind fourth-placed Atletico Madrid in the race for a top-four finish.
We say: Real Betis 1-1 Barcelona
Real Betis are a team to be taken extremely seriously at this level of football, and they have plenty to play for in the closing stages of the season, so Barcelona will be in for a tough examination on Saturday night. The Catalan outfit have only lost twice in the road in La Liga this term, though, and we believe that the two teams will share the points in Seville.
