Seeking to cement their position atop the La Liga rankings, Real Sociedad travel to Celta Vigo for Thursday's top-flight battle.
The hosts eased to a 3-0 success over whipping boys Getafe last time out, while Sociedad played out a 2-2 draw with reigning champions Atletico Madrid.
We say: Celta Vigo 0-1 Real Sociedad
Celta's home record makes for bleak reading before the visit of the league leaders, but Coudet will be hoping to see Aspas and Mina pick up where they left off after a confidence-boosting win over Getafe.
However, Sociedad will be out for blood after throwing away two points against Atletico and know how to find the back of the net away from home, so we expect Alguacil's side to remain atop the rankings with a hard-fought success.

With only one win between them from 19 games so far this term, Granada and Getafe prepare for battle in La Liga on Thursday night.
The hosts managed to rescue a 1-1 draw against Osasuna right at the death last time out, while Quique Sanchez Flores's side went down 3-0 to Celta Vigo.
We say: Granada 1-0 Getafe
With leading goalscorer Sandro - who is one of only two players to score for Getafe in the league this season - highly unlikely to be involved, the visitors have lost one of their main sources of attacking inspiration to rub salt into the open wounds.
There is no doubting the talent in Flores's ranks, and Granada have not exactly displayed a cutting edge this season either, but we still expect the hosts to prevail by the narrowest of margins.

Levante vs. Atletico (Thursday, 8.30pm)

Atletico Madrid will seek an immediate return to winning ways in La Liga when they travel to winless Levante on Thursday night.
Diego Simeone's side came from 2-0 down to rescue a point against Real Sociedad last time out, while the hosts were on the wrong end of a 5-3 thriller with Sevilla.
We say: Levante 1-3 Atletico Madrid
It remains to be seen how well Felix, Suarez and Griezmann will gel in this new setup, but given the visitors' abundance of attacking quality and Levante's recent goalscoring exploits against the big sides, this should not be a low-scoring affair.
Levante away has proven to be a bit of a banana skin for Atletico in seasons gone by, but the hosts just cannot keep the back door shut and could get picked off by Simeone's ruthless forwards on Thursday.
