Sky Sports, from 11am Sunday

Sporting Gijon v Deportivo La CorunaSky Sports 3, 11am
Lowly Deportivo worked hard for their 1-1 draw at home to Atletico Madrid on Thursday and may not have much more left to give when they face Sporting three days later.

Sporting were stuffed 6-1 at Barcelona on Wednesday but they would have been targeting the Depor game all week and can collect a precious three points to aid their survival push.

Dan Childs's recommendation
Sporting Gijon
1pt 13-8 Betfair, Betway, Hills

Bet on this game at Soccerbase.com

Key stat
Deportivo have not won any of their 15 away games this season


Atletico Madrid v ValenciaSky Sports 5, 3.15pm
Improving Valencia won 2-1 at home to Real Madrid last month and have every chance of holding Atletico Madrid to a draw at the Vicente Calderon.

Atletico's push for a top-four finish has stalled with one point secured from the last two games and they may not find it easy against Los Che, who are chasing a fourth win in five.

Dan Childs's recommendation
Draw
1pt 7-2 general

Bet on this game at Soccerbase.com

Key stat
Atletico have not kept a clean sheet in their last six fixtures


Las Palmas v OsasunaSky Sports 5, 5.30pm
Las Palmas blew a 3-1 lead to draw 3-3 at ten-man Real Madrid on Wednesday but they should have no such problems landing the points against bottom club Osasuna.

The visitors have lost their last five league games, conceding at least three goals on every occasion, and that defensive vulnerability should mean Las Palmas enhance their solid home record.

James Milton's recommendation
Las Palmas to win & over 2.5 goals
1pt 6-4 Ladbrokes

Bet on this game at Soccerbase.com

Key stat
Las Palmas have won seven league games this season - six of them at home


Athletic Bilbao v MalagaSky Sports 1, 7.45pm
Malaga are having a difficult season but they might be more competitive than the markets expect in their clash at Athletic Bilbao.

The Andalusians have earned surprise draws at Barcelona (0-0) and Villarreal (2-2) this season and can hold their own against Athletic, who have lost three of their last four matches, including a 1-0 defeat at Seville on Thursday.

Dan Childs's recommendation
Draw
1pt 11-4 Betfair

Key stat
Athletic have not kept a clean sheet in their last nine matches
