Red-hot Girona may make light work of lowly Leganes

Eleven Sports 1 from midday, Saturday

Girona v Leganes

Eleven Sports 1, 7.45pm

Mid-table Girona are having another solid campaign and can extend their unbeaten sequence to five by beating Leganes at Montilivi.

All of Girona's three defeats have come at home but they should fancy their chances against lowly Leganes, who have collected one point from a possible 18 on their travels.

Dan Childs's recommendation
Girona
1pt 23-20 general

Key stat
Leganes have kept one clean sheet in their last 16 matches.

Atletico Madrid v Athletic Bilbao

Eleven Sports 1, 5.30pm

No team drew more La Liga matches than Athletic Bilbao's 13 last season and the Lions seem intent on taking that up a notch after drawing seven of their first 11 games of 2018-19.

Achieving another stalemate at fourth-placed Atletico is a tough ask, though. The hosts haven't quite hit top gear this season, losing only once but drawing five of their 11 La Liga outings, but while they don't always impress Atleti generally get the job done on home soil.

Dan Sait's recommendation
Atletico to win by one goal
1pt 9-4 Sky Bet

Key stat
Atletico have won five of the last six meetings, three by a single goal.

Real Valladolid v Eibar

Eleven Sports 1, Midday

Ninth-placed Valladolid have adapted impressively to the step up to La Liga but they are struggling for goals, scoring just nine in 11 games, and may be outgunned by Eibar, who are just two points below them.

Eibar have recovered well from a slow start and can build on last Sunday's 2-1 success at home to highflying Alaves.

Dan Childs's recommendation
Eibar
1pt 23-10 Betfair, Coral

Key stat
Valladolid have scored one or no goals in nine of their 11 league games this season.
