Sky Sports, from midday Saturday

Girona v LevanteSky Sports Football, midday
Levante have eased their relegation worries with back-to-back wins over Getafe and Eibar and now set their sights on another mid-table outfit.

Girona are still chasing a Europa League place and have had five wins to nil in their last eight – and conceded 13 in the other three. Levante specialise in first-half draws and this could be another.

Recommendation
Half-time draw
1pt 6-5 bet365, Betway

Key stat
Levante have been level at half-time in a La Liga-high 17 of 29 matches.

Las Palmas v Real MadridSky Sports Mix, 5.30pm
The Canary Islanders’ recent barren run doesn’t quite tell the whole story – Las Palmas have taken four points in a seven-match winless sequence but it included a fine 1-1 draw against Barcelona.

They run into a Real Madrid side who have rediscovered their scoring touch - Zinedine Zidane's side hit six last time out - although Los Blancos are unlikely to be at full-strength with Juventus to visit on Tuesday.

Recommendation
Under 3.5 goals
2pts 11-10 Hills

Key stat
Las Palmas are without a win in their last seven La Liga matches.

Sevilla v Barcelona7.45pm
This is a tricky fixture for Sevilla, who have dropped to sixth in La Liga after a pair of defeats so could do with the points, but they play Bayern in the Champions League on Tuesday.

Barca have an extra 24 hours before they line up against Roma, but they could shuffle their side with the title all but won. The last 11 league meetings between these teams have produced 43 goals.

Recommendation
Both teams to score
1pt 4-6 bet365

Key stat
Barcelona are unbeaten in away league games since April 2017.
