Valencia will continue their quest for European qualification when they travel to Mendizorroza for Wednesday’s La Liga fixture against Alaves.
Meanwhile, the visitors are battling to preserve their top-flight status with just a point separating them from the bottom three.
We say: Alaves 0-1 Valencia
Valencia will head into the midweek fixture in a confident mood after putting together a 10-game unbeaten run, and we think that they will extend that run by claiming a narrow victory over an Alaves side that have found goals hard to come by in their recent home games.

Champions League-chasing Villarreal will look to claim a fourth consecutive victory when they welcome relegation-threatened Leganes to the Estadio de la Ceramica on Wednesday.
Leganes, who are languishing in the drop zone, will look to boost their survival hopes by claiming back-to-back victories.
We say: Villarreal 3-1 Leganes
Leganes may be unbeaten in four matches, but we think that promising run of form will come to an end against a Villarreal side that will be in a confident mood after taking maximum points from their last three games, including their previous two home outings.

Real Madrid will attempt to keep the title race alive for at least an extra 24 hours when they welcome Mallorca to the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday.
Los Blancos are seven points adrift of La Liga leaders Barcelona following Sunday’s 4-3 defeat in El Clasico, while the visitors head into matchday 36 in ninth position.
We say: Real Madrid 3-1 Mallorca
Real Madrid will want to delay Barcelona’s title win by at least 24 hours, and they will also be keen to produce a response following Sunday’s disappointing result in El Clasico.
With that in mind, we believe that Los Blancos will showcase their firepower to claim a relatively comfortable victory over a Mallorca side that have lost on their last eight visits to the Santiago Bernabeu in La Liga.
