We say: Real Valladolid 1-1 Mallorca
There is not an awful lot between these two teams in terms of quality, so we are expecting a close match on Sunday. Both are in need of all three points to boost their survival battles, but we are finding it difficult to separate them on this occasion.

Two teams battling for their lives towards the bottom of the La Liga table will lock horns on Sunday evening, with 19th-placed Almeria hosting 17th-placed Valencia.
The hosts will enter the contest off the back of a 2-2 draw with Celta Vigo last Sunday, while Los Che drew 1-1 with Rayo Vallecano on Monday night.
We say: Almeria 1-1 Valencia
Valencia have the third-worst away record in the league this season, so we are finding it tough to back them to secure all three points. Almeria's impressive home form this term makes them the favourites, but we just have a feeling that the points will be shared in this contest.

Atletico Madrid will be bidding to make it five La Liga victories in a row when they head to Estadio de Vallecas on Sunday evening to take on Rayo Vallecano.
Diego Simeone's side are currently third in the table, nine points clear of fifth-placed Real Betis, while Rayo occupy eighth, level on points with seventh-placed Athletic Bilbao.
We say: Rayo Vallecano 1-2 Atletico Madrid
Atletico's recent form has been excellent, and it would be fair to say that confidence in the camp is very high. Rayo are not losing many games at the moment, but Atletico's results over the last few months are difficult to ignore, and we are predicting a narrow away success in this contest.
