### **Friday, October 23, 2026 / Saturday, October 24, 2026 (KST)**
#### **Deportivo Alavés vs. Málaga CF**
* **Kickoff (KST):** Sat, Oct 24, 04:00 KST *(Fri, Oct 23, 21:00 CEST)*
* **Venue:** Mendizorrotza Stadium, Vitoria-Gasteiz
* **Predicted Score:** **2–1**
* **Analysis:** Deportivo Alavés aim to rebound at home after dropping a 2–1 decision to Celta Vigo on Matchday 9.

### **Saturday, October 24, 2026**
#### **Rayo Vallecano vs. Elche CF**
* **Kickoff (KST):** Sat, Oct 24, 21:00 KST *(14:00 CEST)*
* **Venue:** Vallecas Stadium, Madrid
* **Predicted Score:** **1–0**
* **Analysis:** Rayo Vallecano earned a hard-fought 1–1 draw away at Getafe on Matchday 9. Elche CF played out a goalless 0–0 draw against Villarreal, relying heavily on a deep block. Rayo's high-pressing tempo and direct wing play in front of the tight Vallecas crowd should allow them to break down Elche's structure and claim a narrow victory.
#### **Real Racing Club vs. RCD Espanyol**
* **Kickoff (KST):** Sat, Oct 24, 23:15 KST *(16:15 CEST)*
* **Venue:** Estadio El Sardinero, Santander
* **Predicted Score:** **1–1**
* **Analysis:** Racing Santander come off a 2–0 loss away at Osasuna, while Espanyol suffered a 1–0 home defeat to Atlético Madrid. Both teams are desperate for offensive stabilization to stop their current slide in form. Expect a tightly fought, cautious contest with limited clear-cut chances ending in a share of the points.

### **Sunday, October 25, 2026**
#### **Valencia CF vs. Villarreal CF**
* **Kickoff (KST):** Sun, Oct 25, 01:30 KST *(Sat, Oct 24, 18:30 CEST)*
* **Venue:** Mestalla Stadium, Valencia
* **Predicted Score:** **1–2**
* **Analysis:** Valencia CF played out a goalless 0–0 draw with Athletic Bilbao on Matchday 9. Villarreal CF were held to a 0–0 draw by Elche but possess far more central midfield depth and ball-progression quality. In this regional derby at Mestalla, Villarreal's technical frontline should exploit Valencia's defensive line in transition to take all three points away.
#### **Atlético Madrid vs. Deportivo La Coruña**
* **Kickoff (KST):** Sun, Oct 25, 04:00 KST *(Sat, Oct 24, 21:00 CEST)*
* **Venue:** Riyadh Air Metropolitano Stadium, Madrid
* **Predicted Score:** **2–0**
* **Analysis:** Diego Simeone's squad continues to build momentum near the top of the table after a 1–0 away win over Espanyol. Promoted Deportivo La Coruña drew 1–1 with Levante on Matchday 9. Atlético's elite defensive structure and transition efficiency at the Metropolitano point toward a comfortable clean-sheet home victory.
#### **Athletic Club vs. Getafe CF**
* **Kickoff (KST):** Sun, Oct 25, 22:00 KST *(14:00 CET)*
* **Venue:** San Mamés Stadium, Bilbao
* **Predicted Score:** **2–0**
* **Analysis:** Athletic Club enter off a 3–1 setback against Levante in their rescheduled fixture. Getafe CF drew 1–1 against Rayo Vallecano and will set up their customary low defensive block. Athletic's physical dominance and vertical wing play at San Mamés usually wear down deep defensive lines, setting up a clear multi-goal home result.

### **Monday, October 26, 2026**
#### **RC Celta de Vigo vs. Real Betis**
* **Kickoff (KST):** Mon, Oct 26, 00:15 KST *(Sun, Oct 25, 16:15 CET)*
* **Venue:** Estadio de Balaídos, Vigo
* **Predicted Score:** **2–2**
* **Analysis:** Celta Vigo carry confidence from a 2–1 victory over Deportivo Alavés on Matchday 9. Real Betis aim to bounce back after a jarring 5–2 home defeat to league leaders Barcelona. Both squads feature expansive attacking setups that favor quick ball movement through the half-spaces, pointing toward an entertaining, high-scoring draw.
#### **Real Sociedad vs. Levante UD**
* **Kickoff (KST):** Mon, Oct 26, 02:30 KST *(Sun, Oct 25, 18:30 CET)*
* **Venue:** Anoeta Stadium, San Sebastián
* **Predicted Score:** **3–1**
* **Analysis:** Real Sociedad are flying high following a 5–2 away blowout of Málaga. Levante UD showed resilience in a 3–1 win over Athletic Club, but their defensive backline remains susceptible when pressed heavily. Real Sociedad’s dominant possession style and home environment at Anoeta should allow them to take control early and pull away.
#### **FC Barcelona vs. Real Madrid (El Clásico)**
* **Kickoff (KST):** Mon, Oct 26, 05:00 KST *(Sun, Oct 25, 21:00 CET)*
* **Venue:** Spotify Camp Nou, Barcelona
* **Predicted Score:** **3–2**
* **Analysis:** The biggest match of the season headlines Matchday 10. Barcelona sit top of the table on a perfect 9-match winning streak after putting 5 goals past Real Betis. Real Madrid enter following a 4–1 home win over Sevilla. While Real Madrid possess lethal counter-attacking power through Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior, Barça's staggering attacking form (averaging over 4 goals per game) gives them the slight advantage to edge out a high-scoring Clásico spectacle at Camp Nou.

### **Tuesday, October 27, 2026**
#### **Sevilla FC vs. CA Osasuna**
* **Kickoff (KST):** Tue, Oct 27, 05:00 KST *(Mon, Oct 26, 21:00 CET)*
* **Venue:** Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán Stadium, Seville
* **Predicted Score:** **2–1**
* **Analysis:** Sevilla FC look to recover after their 4–1 road loss against Real Madrid. CA Osasuna arrive with momentum following a 2–0 clean-sheet win over Racing Santander. Sevilla’s home support at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán typically provides a strong lift, and their superior midfield rotation should earn them a hard-fought victory to close out Matchday 10.
