Getafe vs FC Barcelona
Getafe currently sit 6th on the standings with 44 points from 32 matches and have been competitive throughout their campaign. They have registered 28 goals going forward while allowing 32 in at the back.
They come into this clash after a 1-0 away triumph over Real Sociedad. Prior to that they suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat to Levante but had recorded a solid 2-0 home victory against Athletic Bilbao the week before.
Barcelona top the table with 82 points from 32 matches and have been the dominant force this season. Their attack has been ruthless, producing 85 goals while only 30 have slipped past them defensively.
They head into this encounter after a 1-0 home success over Celta Vigo, which followed a 4-1 derby win against Espanyol and a 2-1 away victory over Atlético Madrid.
Head-to-Head
Barcelona have dominated this fixture in recent years, winning the reverse meeting 3-0 earlier this season and claiming the majority of recent encounters between the sides.

Getafe 5.25
Draw 4.00
Barcelona 1.67
Verdict
Barcelona have consistently had the upper hand in this matchup and arrive in excellent form, while Getafe despite being competitive may struggle to contain the league leaders attacking threat. I believe Barcelona should have enough quality to secure another victory on the road and am looking for at least 2 goals in the match.

SUNDAY:
Villarreal vs Celta de Vigo
Villarreal occupy 3rd place on the table with 62 points from 32 matches and have been one of the more consistent sides of the season. They have notched up 57 goals while conceding 37, underlining a strong balance between attack and defence.
They come into this fixture after a 1-1 draw away to Real Oviedo. Before that they secured a 2-1 victory over Athletic Bilbao and were narrowly beaten 1-0 by Girona away from home.
Celta Vigo sit 7th on the standings with 44 points from 32 matches and have shown flashes of quality this season. They have scored 44 goals upfront while allowing 41 in at the back.
They head into this match after a 1-0 defeat away to Barcelona, which followed a heavy 3-0 home loss to Oviedo and an entertaining 3-2 away win over Valencia.
Head-to-Head
Villarreal have generally had the edge in this fixture, although recent meetings have been closely contested, including a 1-1 draw earlier this season. The sides also met last season where Celta Vigo won the reverse fixture 3-0 after going down 4-3 on the road in the 1st meeting.

Villarreal 2.10
Draw 3.50
Celta Vigo 3.65
Verdict
Villarreal have been the more consistent side across the campaign and boast a stronger overall structure, particularly at home. Celta Vigo have been unpredictable in recent weeks and Villarreal should take all three points on home soil.
BET: Villarreal to Win at 2.10
MONDAY:
Espanyol vs Levante
Espanyol occupy 12th position on the leaderboard with 38 points from 32 matches and have endured an unstable season. They have managed 37 goals while allowing 49 to breach their defensive system.
They come into this clash after a 1-0 defeat away to Rayo Vallecano, which came after a heavy 4-1 loss to Barcelona and a goalless draw against Real Betis.
Levante are 19th on the standings with 32 points from 32 matches and are battling near the bottom despite finding some momentum in their last few trips to the pitch. They have netted 37 goals while shipping 50 at the other end.
They head into this encounter after an impressive 2-0 home win over Sevilla FC, which followed a 1-0 victory against Getafe and a 2-0 loss away to Real Sociedad.
Head-to-Head
Espanyol have had the better of this matchup historically, winning the majority of recent meetings, although the reverse fixture earlier this season ended in a 1-1 draw.

Espanyol 2.05
Draw 3.50
Levante 3.75
Verdict
This looks set to be a closely contested encounter, with both sides inconsistent and quite tough to read. Espanyol have gone without a win for months and although I think they will be able to hold Levante’s attack out, I am backing the visitors to force a draw.
BET: Draw at 3.50
