Bilbao – Espanyol: Bilbao looks to be in great form lately, evident from the fact that it is coming from a 5-1 home win against Partizan in the middle of the week for the Europa League competition which was its 5th win in its last 6 games in all competitions, scoring at least 2 goals per game in all of these games. Espanyol has managed just 1 win in its last 5 games and it holds the second worst defensive record in the league with 21 conceded goals in 10 games.

Barcelona – Villareal: Barcelona tends to concede goals with relative ease this year. In its 0-2 away win against Getafe for its last game in the league it has kept a clean sheet after a long time in the league. Villareal is capable of scoring a goal in this game, a possibility which is supported by the fact that 5 of the last 6 games between the 2 teams ended in a goal-goal/over 2.5 goals outcome.
Atletico – Sporting Gijon: Atletico’s draw against Astana in its last game for the Champions League competition has put the team into serious trouble in terms of its qualification prospects into the next round of the competition. In the league, it is doing just enough to get the 3 points from most of its games and stay close to the top of the table but sooner than later it will have to improve its performances too.
Seville – Real Madrid: Seville was coming from an undefeated run in the league which lasted for 4 games (2 wins and 2 draws) before suffering an away defeat from Villareal in its last game. Real’s ultimate advantage this season is that it can win its games even with average performances as it was the one in its last game for the Champions League competition against Paris SG. It should be noted that Seville has beaten Barcelona at home with 2-1.
