LIGA BBVA: Predictions for Round 13 Fixtures of La Liga

Rayo Vallecano vs. Valencia

Valencia will feel hard done by their loss against Real Madrid last week, but they should be able to recover well against Rayo Vallecano.

Prediction: Valencia 2-0

Real Madrid vs. Atletico Madrid

Real Madrid faces another stern test in the form of in-town rivals Atletico Madrid. Will they be able to prevail as they did against Valencia?

Prediction: Draw 1-1

Getafe vs. Barcelona

There is no reason for Barcelona to lose this game. Getafe has under-performed and have one of the worst defensive records in the league.

Prediction: Barcelona win 3-0

Real Betis vs. Sociedad

Real Betis lost again last week and continue to slide down the table. Sociedad may just provide the right opposition for them to get out of their malaise.

Prediction: Real Betis win 1-0

Levante vs. Sporting Gijon

Levante lost some more ground to the top two, but they are still above expectations right now. A home game against a Sporting Gijon team on the rise may be tough.

Prediction: Levante win 2-1

Espanyol vs. Osasuna

There is not much separating these teams in terms of points. Home advantage and the major difference in goal differential may make a difference in this game.

Prediction: Draw 1-1

Mallorca vs. Racing Santander

Mallorca's last game ended prematurely so they will be keen to make up the points this weekend.

Prediction: Mallorca 1-0

Athletic Bilbao vs. Granada CF

Athletic Bilbao continue to climb up the table after beating another top five team in the form of Sevilla.

Prediction: Athletic Bilbao win 3-0

Zaragoza vs. Sevilla

Both teams lost their respective games last weekend. Zaragoza need to stay of the relegation pack and Sevilla need to keep up with the top dogs. Sevilla has yet to pick up an away win and this weekend would be a good time. 

Prediction: Sevilla 2-1

Malaga vs. Villarreal

Malaga has been good at home and Villarreal hasn't been to great in away games. Despite their position, Villarreal is still a quality team and will provide another test for Malaga.

Prediction: Draw 2-2
