Eleven Sports and Premier Sports from midday, Saturday

Sevilla v Real Betis

Eleven Sports and Premier Sports, 7.45pm

Sevilla have recovered from their shock Europa League exit at the hands of Slavia Prague and they can come out on top in this derby battle.

Los Rojiblancos have won three matches to nil against Espanyol, Alaves and Valladolid either side of an undeserving defeat to Valencia.

They can take maximum points against rivals Betis, who have faltered against stronger opposition in Valencia, Getafe and Barcelona since the turn of the year.

Atletico Madrid v Celta Vigo

Eleven Sports, 5.30pm

Celta Vigo were thankful for an Iago Aspas brace which helped them to come from behind against Real Sociedad and earn three valuable points in their battle against the drop.

That win coincided with a defeat for Villarreal and, although their survival hopes were handed a much-needed boost, they could struggle to get anything at the Wanda Metropolitano.

Diego Simeone's men have won 12 of their 16 home league fixtures while Vigo have won only two matches away from home all campaign.

Recommendation
Atletico Madrid to win to nil
1pt 11-10 general

Key stat
Atletico's last ten wins in La Liga have been to nil.

Espanyol v Alaves

Eleven Sports, midday

Defeats to Atletico Madrid and Sevilla have dented Alaves's Champions League hopes but they are still in the hunt to secure some kind of European football next season.

They have won as many matches on the road as at home (both six) this term and look overpriced to unsettle Espanyol.

An 89th-minute own goal handed the hosts maximum points away to Girona last time out but that was only their second win in eight games and, locked in mid-table obscurity, they have little to play for as the season draws to a close.

Recommendation
Alaves
1pt 4-1 bet365

Key stat
Alaves have lost only one of their last four away matches.
