La Liga will feature a midweek round of football for matchday No. 18. The title race is shaping up to be a two-horse race between Girona and Real Madrid.
Meanwhile, Almeria and Granada are desperate for points to improve their chances of survival.
Sevilla won four of their last six games versus Granada in all competitions. Granada posted two wins during that same time. These clubs last played in the 2021-22 season, with Granada winning at home and Sevilla picking up a victory in Seville.
Granada failed to win their last six games in the league. They took two points from the last 18 points on offer and sit in 19th place after 17 games.
Sevilla are not in good shape. Los Rojiblancos cannot seem to find form and move away from the relegation zone. The team is coming off a disappointing 3-0 loss to Getafe at home.
Athletic Club and Las Palmas last met during the 2017-18 season. There have been no recent trends between the clubs. Athletic Club are in fantastic form thanks to being unbeaten in seven straight La Liga matches.
Las Palmas are having a strong season after returning from the second division. The Canaries won their last two La Liga matches and are eight points off the top five.
Athletic Club are knocking on the top four. Just two points separate them from the Champions League qualification places. Athletic Club took 14 points from the last six games, scoring 15 goals and conceding seven.
Villarreal posted a record of 3W-2D-1L against Celta Vigo in their last six head-to-head matches. These teams drew 1-1 last season in Celta Vigo and Villarreal claimed a 3-1 win at the Estadio de la Ceramica.
Celta Vigo are out of the relegation zone after 17 matches. An upturn in form, three draws and a win in the last four games, has the Sky Blues looking likely to move up the table. Still, Celta Vigo won just two of their opening 17 games.
The Yellow Submarine are not in great form, and sit 14th in the division. Villarreal took the second-fewest points at home this season. They conceded 19 goals in their nine home fixtures.
Three of Mallorca and Osasuna’s last six meetings finished in draws. The last three meetings between them saw under 2.5 goals.
Osasuna go into the midweek away fixture unbeaten in their last three fixtures in La Liga. Los Rojillos scored only 19 goals in their 17 league games.
Mallorca went unbeaten in their last four league games, taking six points from 12 on offer. The Islanders scored a mere 14 goals in their 17 league games. This is a relegation six-pointer affair. The loser could be sucked into a relegation fight.
