Sky Sports Football, from 3.15pm Sunday

Celta Vigo v Athletic Bilbao3.15pm
Athletic Bilbao are back in Europa League contention after a 1-0 success at home to Swedish side Ostersunds on Thursday but they are having an ordinary season and may struggle at Celta Vigo.

Both teams are on 11 points but the advantage is with Celta. They are the highest scorers of the teams who started the weekend in the bottom half and have had a free midweek.

Dan Childs's recommendation
Celta Vigo
1pt 23-20 Betway

Key stat
Athletic Bilbao have not won any of their last seven away fixtures.

Sociedad v Eibar5.30pm
Sociedad have scored 21 league goals this season – two more than Real Madrid – and are likely to have too much firepower for struggling Eibar.

The Basques were comfortable 3-0 winners at home to Europa League opponents Vardar on Thursday and should have enough energy in the tank to see off the poor visitors.

Dan Childs's recommendation
Real Sociedad
1pt 8-13 bet365, BetBright

Key stat
Sociedad have scored in each of their last nine fixtures.

Real Madrid v Las Palmas7.45pm
The Spanish and European champions are hurting after a terrible week which saw them lose at Girona and Tottenham but Las Palmas could be on the end of a Real Madrid backlash.

Las Palmas are horrendous defensively and could allow Madrid the space they need to do serious damage, which they did not have at Wembley on Wednesday. Expect Real to win and hit the front early.

Mark Langdon's recommendation
Real Madrid to be leading after 30 minutes
2pts 4-6 Coral, Ladbrokes

Key stat
Las Palmas have not kept an away clean sheet since March 2016.
