This is a genuine six-pointer in bottom-of-the-table country. Osasuna's positive home record is the exact opposite of Celta's sequence of games without victory and strong propensity to draw games. The importance of the game should provide for a low-scoring, tense game, yet the home defense of Osasuna and small statistical edge should be enough to secure a crucial, tight win.

• Final Score Prediction: Osasuna 1 - 0 Celta Vigo

While Atlético is on the back of a bleak European loss, Real Betis won’t lose in eight and will draw on the home crowd. Both teams are extremely well-drilled and defensively sound. Other than Betis's current form, Atlético's quality in attack, led by Julian Alvarez, should see them avoid a second consecutive defeat. With the history of few draws, one goal should suffice to win the match.

• Final Score Prediction: Atlético Madrid 2 - 1 Real Betis

These Matchday 10 results will be vital in establishing the top of the table and relegation battle. A win for Atlético Madrid will secure their Champions League position, keeping them within touching distance of the leaders Real Madrid and Barcelona. Meanwhile, an Osasuna victory over visiting Celta Vigo would bring relief and increase the crisis for the visiting team, yet to claim a win. Celta Vigo's failure to convert draws into wins continues to leave them in a susceptible position entering the upcoming series of games.
