Athletic Bilbao's push for a top-four finish in the La Liga table will continue on Sunday afternoon, when they welcome basement side Real Valladolid to San Mames.
The Lions are currently fourth in Spain's top flight, four points ahead of fifth-placed Villarreal, while Real Valladolid are rock bottom of the division, eight points from the safety of 17th spot with 14 games left.
We say: Athletic Bilbao 2-0 Real Valladolid
Athletic have been excellent on home soil this term, and we are finding it incredibly difficult to predict an upset here; Real Valladolid have suffered 11 defeats from their 12 away league games this season, but that is likely to become 12 from 13 on Sunday.

Spanish champions Real Madrid will be bidding to return to winning ways in La Liga when they welcome an out-of-form Girona outfit to Bernabeu on Sunday afternoon.
Los Blancos currently sit second in the La Liga table, behind leaders Barcelona on the head-to-head record, while Girona occupy 10th, four points behind sixth-placed Rayo Vallecano in the race for Europe.
We say: Real Madrid 2-0 Girona
Girona's recent form has been hugely disappointing, and we are struggling to see a scenario that leads to Real Madrid dropping points on Sunday afternoon; Los Blancos may need to be patient, but they should have more than enough to return to winning ways in Spain's top flight.

Getafe will be aiming to stretch their unbeaten run in La Liga to seven matches when they host Real Betis on Sunday evening.
The capital outfit have moved into 13th spot in the La Liga table courtesy of their impressive recent results, while Real Betis occupy eighth, two points ahead of their opponents at Estadio Coliseum.
We say: Getafe 1-1 Real Betis
This is a really tough match to call, but Getafe do not often lose at home, while Real Betis are not reliable when it comes to posting wins on their travels. It would not be a massive shock to see either side triumph, but we are fully expecting the points to be shared on Sunday.

Real Sociedad will be aiming to return to winning ways in La Liga when they welcome Leganes to Reale Arena on Sunday night.
The Basque outfit are currently 11th in the La Liga table, four points behind sixth-placed Rayo Vallecano, while Leganes sit in 16th, one point clear of the relegation zone, demonstrating the importance of this weekend's match for both sides.
We say: Real Sociedad 2-1 Leganes
Leganes have only lost four of their 12 away league games this season, while Real Sociedad have posted just five victories from their 12 home La Liga fixtures - it would not be a surprise to see a draw on Sunday, but we believe that Real Sociedad's extra quality will allow them to secure all three points this weekend.
