Eleven Sports from midday

Atletico Madrid v Barcelona

7.45pm

Big games are often won by the team who make the fewest mistakes and that could be good news for Atletico Madrid, who can triumph over Barcelona in the capital.

Atletico have the best defensive record in La Liga having conceded just eight goals – ten fewer than Barca, whose dodgy rearguard may let them down.

Recommendation
Atletico Madrid
1pt 21-10 Betway, Hills

Key stat
Barcelona have not kept a clean sheet in their last ten La Liga matches.

Huesca v Levante

5.30pm

Levante have accumulated ten of their 17 points on their travels and look overpriced to topple basement boys Huesca, who haven't won since the opening weekend of the season.

Huesca have scored just four goals in their last nine fixtures and look likely to struggle against Levante, who won at Real Madrid (2-1) and drew at Villarreal (1-1) on their most recent road trips.

Recommendation
Levante
1pt 21-10 general

Key stat
Levante are unbeaten in their last four away fixtures.

Eibar v Real Madrid

Midday

Real Madrid were turning their fortunes around before the international break and can make it five wins in a row by beating mid-table Eibar at Ipurua Municipal Stadium.

Los Blancos are responding well to manager Santiago Solari and that is bad news for Eibar, who have failed to score in three of their last four games.

Recommendation
Real Madrid-Real Madrid double result
1pt 11-8 Betfair

Key stat
Real have led at half-time and full-time on each of their last four visits to Eibar.
