Villarreal will be bidding to return to winning ways in La Liga when they resume their top-flight campaign at home to Osasuna on Sunday afternoon.
An underwhelming campaign to date has left the Yellow Submarine down in 14th position in the table, while Osasuna have also struggled for consistency this term, occupying 12th spot.
We say: Villarreal 2-1 Osasuna
This is a really interesting match, as both sides will feel that they should be higher up the table. All eyes will be on Marcelino in his first league game since returning as Villarreal boss, and we are expecting the Yellow Submarine to edge a close and competitive contest this weekend.

Real Sociedad will be aiming to make it three wins in a row in all competitions when they welcome Sevilla in Spain's top flight on Sunday afternoon.
The home side are currently sixth in the La Liga table, picking up 22 points from their opening 13 matches of the campaign, while Sevilla are down in 12th position on 12 points, but they have a game in hand on the vast majority of the other sides in the division.
We say: Real Sociedad 2-1 Sevilla
This has all of the makings of an entertaining match, especially with Sevilla not losing games at the moment. Real Sociedad will be without Oyarzabal, which is a huge blow, but the home side should have enough quality to navigate their way to all three points this weekend.

An injury-hit Real Madrid will be bidding to record their 11th La Liga victory of the 2023-24 campaign when they take on Cadiz at Nuevo Mirandilla on Sunday evening.
The visitors are currently second in the table, two points behind surprise leaders Girona, while an out-of-form Cadiz occupy 16th position, three points outside of the relegation zone.
We say: Cadiz 1-2 Real Madrid
Real Madrid's fitness problems are piling up, and Cadiz will fancy their chances of making this a difficult match for Ancelotti's side. Los Blancos still have more than enough quality to secure all three points, though, and we are expecting them to edge a close contest on Sunday evening.

Real Betis will be bidding to stretch their unbeaten run of form in all competitions to 13 matches when they resume their La Liga campaign at home to Las Palmas on Sunday night.
Manuel Pellegrini's side are currently seventh in the La Liga table, picking up 21 points from their 13 league games this term, while Las Palmas sit up in eighth on 18 points.
We say: Real Betis 1-0 Las Palmas
Matches involving Las Palmas are often very tight, and we are again expecting that to be the case this weekend. The visitors are certainly good enough to pick up a positive result, but Real Betis are in excellent form, and we are backing them to secure a narrow victory on Sunday.
