Bruised Barca to batter Madrid minnows

Sky Sports, from 11am Sunday

Real Sociedad v VillarrealSky Sports 2, 11am
Sociedad hold a five-point advantage over Villarreal in their tussle for European football and they can extend that gap with victory at the Anoeta Stadium.

Only title-chasing duo Seville and Real Madrid have prevailed at Sociedad and it's unlikely the Yellow Submarine, who have won just twice on their travels this term and were hammered by Roma on Thursday, can match their heroics.

Key stat
Villarreal have scored in just one of their last five away league matches

Valencia v Athletic BilbaoSky Sports Mix, 3.15pm
Athletic Bilbao are troubled on their travels and their woes could continue on their trip to Valencia.

The visitors have failed to score in four of their last five matches on the road and draws with Espanyol and Leganes suggest they are a different side away from their Bilbao base.

Athletic are winless in seven away La Liga matches

Celta Vigo v OsasunaSky Sports 3, 5.30pm
Osasuna's fate is all but sealed and they may struggle to contain a Celta Vigo side who have lost just one of their last six La Liga matches at the Balaidos.

The relegation-bound visitors are on a 14-game winless streak but they carry a potent attacking threat and can be supported to notch a consolation.

Aaron Ashley's recommendation
Celta Vigo to win and both teams to score

Barcelona v LeganesSky Sports 3, 7.45pm
Barcelona left Paris with their Champions League bid in tatters on Tuesday night but lowly Leganes will have to brace themselves for a reaction.

The Madrid minnows have not won since November and Barca could pick them apart if they're in the mood to bounce back from their 4-0 gubbing at the hands of Paris St-Germain.
