Thursday's La Liga predictions including Espanyol vs. Barcelona

Sports Mole provides score predictions and previews for all of today's La Liga fixtures, including Espanyol vs. Barcelona.


Osasuna vs. Atletico (Thursday, 6.00pm)

Atletico Madrid will attempt to extend their three-game unbeaten run when they travel to El Sadar for Thursday's La Liga clash against Osasuna.

Meanwhile, the hosts will be looking to return to winning ways after taking just a point from their last two matches.

We say: Osasuna 0-2 Atletico Madrid


Atletico have won each of their last six away meetings with Osasuna, keeping clean sheets in five of those victories.

With that in mind, we believe that the visitors will enjoy another successful trip to El Sadar, especially as they will be buoyed by Saturday's dominant win over Real Sociedad.

Rayo Vallecano vs. Betis (Thursday, 6.00pm)

After dropping two points at the weekend, Real Betis will attempt to get their Champions League qualification bid back on track when they travel to Vallecas for Thursday's meeting with Rayo Vallecano.

Los Verdiblancos are currently sitting in sixth place in La Liga, while Rayo are just inside the European places in eighth position.

We say: Rayo Vallecano 1-2 Real Betis


Betis may have been held in Sunday's home game against Osasuna, but they have travelled well in recent times to win four of their last five La Liga away matches, and with that in mind, we think that the visitors will do enough to see off Rayo on Thursday.

Espanyol vs. Barcelona (Thursday, 8.30pm)

After beating Real Madrid in El Clasico, La Liga leaders Barcelona are now preparing to face local rivals Espanyol in Thursday's clash at the RCDE Stadium.

The Blaugrana will enter the game as champions if Real Madrid drop points against Mallorca on Wednesday, and they will still have the chance to win the title against Espanyol even if Los Blancos pick up all three points.

We say: Espanyol 1-3 Barcelona


Barcelona usually fare well when they face their local rivals, and after winning 14 of their last 15 league matches, we believe the confident visitors will showcase their firepower once again to claim a commanding victory in Thursday's derby clash.

Athletic Bilbao will continue their bid to secure Champions League qualification when they travel to the Coliseum for Thursday's meeting with Getafe.

The visitors are looking to claim back-to-back victories, while the Azulones are hoping to end a run of five consecutive defeats.

We say: Getafe 1-2 Athletic Bilbao


Athletic would have been buoyed by Sunday's narrow win over Alaves, and while their recent home form has not been great, we think a game against an out-of-form Getafe side could prove to be the perfect opportunity for the visitors to clinch all three points.
