Atletico Madrid unlikely to have it easy at Granada

Sky Sports, from midday Saturday

Valencia v Sporting Gijon
Sky Sports 5, midday
Valencia were well beaten at Atletico Madrid last time out but they remain on the up and a home game against lowly Sporting looks a great opportunity for another three points.

Gijon are poor travellers, losing nine of their 13 away matches this term, but Los Che are grinding out results rather than battering opponents and a narrow home win looks the best bet.

Recommendation
Valencia to win by one goal

Valencia have won four of their last five home league games.

Granada v Atletico Madrid
Sky Sports 2, 7.45pm
Atletico Madrid have lacked ruthlessness away from home this season, winning only three of their last nine road matches, and they are short enough for the trip to Granada.

The hosts were beaten 7-1 in October's reverse fixture but they are solid at home, winning their last three league matches and beating high-flying Seville 2-1 in December.

Recommendation
Granada or draw double chance
