Alaves v EspanyolTEleven Sports 1, 3.15pm

Alaves picked up nine home wins last season and they may be just too strong for Espanyol, who tend to struggle on the road.

It has been a tough start for Alaves, who lost 3-0 at Barcelona and drew 0-0 at home to Betis, but they should be backed to register their first goals and points of the campaign.

Dan Childs's recommendation
Alaves
1pt 2-1 Betway, 188Bet

Key stat
Alaves have won four of their last six home league matches against Espanyol.

Barcelona v HuescaEleven Sports 1, 5.30pm

Barcelona have already recorded two wins to nil as normal service has been resumed at Camp Nou and they can make it three against promoted Huesca.

Leo Franco’s newcomers have started brightly enough with a 2-1 win at Eibar followed by a 2-2 draw, from 2-0 down, at Athletic Bilbao but this is a step up again.

Steve Davies' recommendation
Barcelona to win to nil
2pts 7-10 Coral, Ladbrokes

Real Betis v SevillaEleven Sports 1, 7.45pm

Betis are searching for their first goals of the season but a home match against rivals Sevilla could be what they need to get their campaign up and running.

Sevilla lost 11 of 19 away league games last season and may struggle to cope with such a big match at the end of a busy week in which they won 3-0 at home Sigma Olomouc in the Europa League.

Dan Childs's recommendation
Real Betis
1pt 9-5 general

Key stat
Sevilla have won one of their last six La Liga away fixtures.
