Real Betis will be bidding to stretch their unbeaten run in all competitions to eight matches when they resume their La Liga duties at home to Osasuna on Sunday afternoon.
Manuel Pellegrini's side are currently ninth in the table, picking up 14 points from their opening 10 matches of the season, while Osasuna sit 10th, having picked up 13 points from their first 10 games.
We say: Real Betis 1-1 Osasuna
Real Betis have played out 1-1 draws in four of their last five league matches, and we are predicting the same scoreline in this game. Osasuna appear to have turned a corner this month, and Real Betis will not have had much preparation time for the contest, so we are expecting the points to be shared here.

Rayo Vallecano's six-game unbeaten run will be put to the test on Sunday afternoon, with Real Sociedad making the trip to Estadio de Vallecas in Spain's top flight.
The home side are currently seventh in the La Liga table, boasting 16 points from their opening 10 matches, while Real Sociedad are fifth, collecting 18 points from their first 10 games of the season.
We say: Rayo Vallecano 1-1 Real Sociedad
These are the type of matches that Real Sociedad will need to win if they are to finish in the top four this season, but Rayo are not losing games at the moment, and we are struggling to back the visitors considering their exertions in the Champions League. A draw would not be the worst result for Real Sociedad, and we are expecting the points to be shared here.

Athletic Bilbao will be bidding to return to winning ways in Spain's top flight when they welcome Valencia to San Mames on Sunday night.
The Basque outfit will enter the contest off the back of a 1-0 defeat to the reigning champions Barcelona, while Valencia beat Cadiz 2-0 last time out to end a four-game winless run in the league.
We say: Athletic Bilbao 2-1 Valencia
Valencia are certainly good enough to claim a positive result on Sunday, and it would not be a surprise to see a draw here. Athletic have been strong at home this season, though, and we are expecting Valverde's side to navigate their way to what would be an important three points this weekend.

Atletico Madrid will be aiming to make it six straight La Liga victories when they welcome Alaves to Wanda Metropolitano on Sunday night.
Diego Simeone's side are fourth in the La Liga table, picking up 22 points from their opening nine league games, while Alaves are down in 15th, boasting nine points from their first 10 matches of 2023-24.
We say: Atletico Madrid 2-0 Alaves
Alaves will certainly have had longer to prepare for this match, but it is so difficult to back them to pick up a positive result. Atletico's recent form in La Liga is excellent, and we are expecting the capital side to secure another three points in Sunday's contest at Wanda Metropolitano.
