Winless in 16 consecutive league games, new Elche boss Fran Escriba will hope to make an instant impact at the club with a win over fellow strugglers Eibar at the Estadio Martinez Valero on Saturday.
Jose Luis Mendilibar's embattled Eibar side face their third relegation six-pointer in as many La Liga outings on Saturday. Los Armeros have picked up just two points from their last six league games.
We say: Elche 1-1 Eibar
What we have here is a relegation dogfight between both of La Liga's most out-of-form outfits. Desperation always tends to play a big part in these types of fixtures, but we do not think anything will separate the two sides.

Atletico vs. Levante (Saturday, 3.15pm)

In what has already been a particularly strange La Liga campaign, this Saturday, league leaders Atletico Madrid will play Levante for the second time in less than a week.
Due to La Liga rescheduling in September, Levante managed to hold Diego Simeone's Atleti to a 1-1 draw on Wednesday evening. This weekend, Simeone will aim to get his revenge at the Wanda Metropolitano.
We say: Atletico Madrid 2-0 Levante
Levante were fortunate to come away with a point from the midweek game, and we do not think it is likely that Paco Lopez's side have what it takes to get a similar result this time. We are going for a 2-0 win for Atleti.

This weekend sees a midtable La Liga clash as Valencia host Eduardo Coudet's Celta Vigo at Mestalla on Saturday.
Three points for 14th-placed Los Che could see Javi Gracia's men haul themselves into 12th place, while a win for Celta could put them within touching distance of the league's Europa League spots.
We say: Valencia 2-2 Celta Vigo
This is not exactly a game between La Liga's finest forces, but it does have the potential to be a bit of a fascinating matchup. We are expecting fireworks but no decisive action.

Real Madrid will be looking to make it four La Liga victories in a row when they continue their 2020-21 campaign away to struggling Real Valladolid on Saturday night.
Los Blancos will enter the contest off the back of a 2-0 win over Valencia last weekend, while Valladolid picked up a point at Eibar in their last game but are still inside the relegation zone.
We say: Real Valladolid 0-2 Real Madrid
Madrid are still missing a number of important players, but the same can also be said for Valladolid, who are struggling to retain their spot at this level of football. The home side are capable of making it a difficult evening for the champions, but we are expecting Zidane's side to pick up another three points.
