Eleven Sports 2 from 11am Sunday

Rayo Vallecano v Getafe11am
Rayo have found it tough since winning promotion last season and could remain entrenched in the bottom three after taking on Getafe.

Michel's lowly hosts have shipped 11 goals in three home games and look ideal opponents for Getafe, who are unbeaten in their last three away matches.

Recommendation
Getafe
1pt 13-8 Betfair

Key stat
Rayo have kept one clean sheet in their last 14 top-flight matches.

Eibar v Athletico Bilbao3.15pm
Struggling Athletic Bilbao have scope to climb the table and can make a start by beating Basque rivals Eibar at Ipurua Municipal Stadium.

Athletic have played four of last season's top six and have drawn at home to Real Madrid (1-1) and away to Barcelona (1-1) so they can topple mid-table Eibar, who have suffered seven home defeats this year.

Recommendation
Athletic Bilbao
1pt 7-4 Betfair, BoyleSports

Key stat
Athletic have won four of their last five fixtures against Eibar.

Huesca v EspanyolEleven Sports 2, 5.30pm
Newly-promoted Huesca have been brought crashing down to earth with five losses in their last six games but they have competed well most of the time and can match Espanyol at El Alcoraz.

Espanyol will be targeting three points against the basement boys but they haven't won in four away games this season.

Recommendation
Draw
1pt 5-2 Betfair, Betway

Key stat
Huesca have not won any of their last five home games.

Real Betis v Real ValladolidEleven Sports 2, 7.45pm
Valladolid climbed into the top half after three successive victories but their hot streak could end at Estadio Benito Vilamarin, where Betis are very tough to beat.

Betis had gone eight games unbeaten before a 1-0 loss at Atletico Madrid last time out but they look solid odds-on favourites to respond with a win.

Recommendation
Betis
2pts 13-20 Betway

Key stat
Betis have lost one of their last 11 home fixtures.
