Eleven Sports from 11am, Sunday

Real Betis v Rayo Vallecano

7.45pm

Rayo Vallecano’s only away win this season came at bottom club Huesca so they should fear the worst at Betis.

The Seville club have won three games in a row – all at home and in different competitions – without conceding a goal. Their home form has been solid all season.

Steve Davies's recommendation
Betis to win to nil
1pt 15-8 Coral, Ladbrokes, Sky Bet

Key stat
Betis have lost only one of their last ten home matches.

Real Sociedad v Real Valladolid

5.30pm

Real Valladolid are on the slide following four winless La Liga games and a trip to San Sebastian to face Real Sociedad is unlikely to provide them with the tonic they need.

The hosts are unbeaten in four games at home, winning the last two - both against Celta Vigo in the league and cup - and the signs point to Asier Garitano starting to turn things around at Anoeta.

Joe Champion's recommendation
Real Sociedad to win & under 3.5 goals
1pt 6-5 Betway

Key stat
Six of Real Sociedad's seven home games this season have featured under 3.5 goals.

Huesca v Real Madrid

3.15pm

Huesca are without a win in 15 league and cup matches since the opening day and Tuesday’s 4-0 home humbling by Athletic in the Copa has to be setting alarm bells ringing.

Real Madrid have won seven out of their last eight since that battering at Barcelona and can win this in a leisurely fashion.

Steve Davies's recommendation
Real Madrid & over 2.5 goals
2pts 4-6 general

Key stat
Huesca have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their 15 top-flight matches.

Eibar v Levante

11am

Eibar don't appear to have recovered from the euphoria of beating Real Madrid – they’ve subsequently lost 1-0 at Valladolid and been knocked out of the Copa by Sporting Gijon.

Levante are one of this season’s surprise packages who are flying after a poor start and are worth supporting to extend their run to just one loss in 11.

Steve Davies's recommendation
Levante draw no bet
1pt 9-4 general

Key stat
Levante have lost one of their last ten matches
