Sky Sports, from 11am Sunday

Leganes v SevillaSky Sports Mix, 11am
Sevilla were convincing 2-1 winners at Manchester United on Tuesday and can cap off a fabulous week by defeating Leganes in a relatively low-key La Liga fixture.

A top-four finish is looking unlikely for Sevilla but they should be full of confidence and could be too strong for Leganes, who are 12 points worse off.

Recommendation
Sevilla
1pt 22-19 188Bet

Key stat
Leganes have failed to score in seven of their last nine matches.

Barcelona v Athletic BilbaoSky Sports Mix, 3.15pm
Barcelona were not at their vintage best in the 3-0 win over Chelsea in the Champions League on Wednesday but they were clinical when they needed to be and must be high on confidence as they approach the last two months of the domestic season.

Athletic Bilbao crashed out of the Europa League with a 5-2 aggregate loss to Marseille and are unlikely to bounce back at Camp Nou.

Recommendation
Barcelona to win 2-0
1pt 11-2 Hills

Key stat
Barcelona have kept clean sheets in nine of their last 11 home matches.

Villarreal v Atletico MadridSky Sports Football, 5.30pm
Atletico Madrid romped to a 5-1 win away to Russian league leaders Lokomotiv Moscow on Thursday, sealing an 8-1 aggregate success, and they can keep up their pursuit of Barcelona with a victory at Villarreal.

It has been a tough season for Villarreal, who started this round of fixtures ten points adrift of the Champions League qualification places.

Recommendation
Atletico Madrid
1pt 8-7 188Bet

Key stat
Atletico Madrid have won six of their last eight away games.

Real Madrid v GironaSky Sports Football, 7.45pm
Girona had their best moment of the season when they defeated Real Madrid 2-1 in October and they might have to suffer at the Bernabeu where Real Madrid will be on a revenge mission.

Real's main objective is to win the Champions League but they are playing to a decent standard in La Liga and have won six of their last seven league games.

Recommendation
Real Madrid to win 3-0
1pt 17-2 bet365

Key stat
Real Madrid have won each of their last five home games by at least two goals.
