Real Sociedad will be looking to record their first La Liga victory since the end of December when they welcome Cadiz to San Sebastian on Sunday afternoon.
The home side are currently sixth in Spain's top flight, having picked up 32 points from 21 matches this season, while Cadiz have collected 24 points from their 21 league fixtures in 2020-21 to sit 13th.
We say: Real Sociedad 2-1 Cadiz
Neither side will enter this match in the best of form, but we are expecting Sociedad to triumph. La Real have actually only won three of their 10 home league matches this season, while Cadiz have lost just four of their 10 fixtures on the road. Alguacil's side will be wary of dropping out of the top six, though, and we are predicting a narrow success for the Basque outfit.

Valencia will be bidding to make it back-to-back victories in Spain's top flight for the first time this season when they travel to Athletic Bilbao on Sunday afternoon.
Los Che, who are currently 14th in the table, will enter this weekend's match off the back of a 1-0 win over Elche last weekend, while Athletic booked their spot in the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey on Thursday night courtesy of a penalty-shootout victory over fellow top-flight club Real Betis.
We say: Athletic Bilbao 1-1 Valencia
Valencia have proven difficult to beat in the league since the start of 2021, while Athletic will enter the match off the back of an energy-zapping clash with Betis on Thursday. A draw would not be the worst result in the world for either side, and we are tipping a 1-1 in this contest.

Two teams in desperate need of the points will lock horns in Spain's top flight on Sunday evening as Osasuna welcome Eibar to Pamplona.
Osasuna are currently 17th in the La Liga table, having picked up just 19 points from their 21 matches this season, while Eibar are 15th, just one point above their opponents this weekend.
We say: Osasuna 1-1 Eibar
The two sides played out a goalless draw in the reverse match earlier this season, and we are predicting another stalemate here. Both managers will be desperate not to lose for obvious reasons, meaning that it could be a tight and cagey affair in Pamplona.

Real Betis vs. Barcelona (Sunday, 8.00pm)

Barcelona will be bidding to make it six straight victories in all competitions when they continue their 2020-21 La Liga campaign away to Real Betis on Sunday night.
Ronald Koeman's side booked their spot in the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey with a 5-3 victory over Granada on Wednesday, but Betis lost on penalties to Athletic Bilbao to exit the competition.
We say: Real Betis 1-2 Barcelona
Betis certainly have the talent to cause Barca problems, and it should be an open and entertaining clash in Seville; we are expecting the home side to score but are finding it difficult to look past Koeman's side, who must keep winning and hope that Atletico drop a number of points in the coming weeks.
