La Liga Sunday
Sunday gets going nice and early as Deportivo take on Athletic Bilbao in the 11am (UK Time) kick off. Both the league table and our independently generated ratings (based solely on shot data) make Deportivo much shorter than the 17/10 available on the hosts.
Deportivo aren't enjoying the best of season's of course - they have won just three of their opening 12 matches, but Bilbao are just a point better off and have collected just four points from six away matches so far.
With Bilbao having a quick turnaround from a grueling 3-2 win over Hertha Berlin on Thursday night, Deportivo will benefit from a longer rest period. This season Bilbao have struggled to perform directly following Europa League match nights:
D - A Bilbao 0-0 Getafe
W - Eibar 0-1 A Bilbao
L - Las Palmas 1-0 A Bilbao
L - Valencia 3-2 A Bilbao
L - Leganes 1-0 A Bilbao
L - Celta Vigo 3-1 A Bilbao
1pt Deportivo to beat Ath Bilbao at 17/10 (Betfair)
In the 3:15pm (UK time) Kick Off, we really fancy Real Sociedad to continue their superb form against Las Palmas who simply can't plug the gaping holes at the back.
The hosts have lost seven of their last eight matches by at least two goals, including a 2-0 home defeat to Levante last time out, a 4-0 capitulation at Villarreal, and a 5-2 home thrashing at the hands of Celta Vigo, in a match that saw Las Palmas score twice in injury time, so was perhaps even worse than the scoreline suggests.
Sociedad have lost just once in their last 10 matches, so come into this with plenty of confidence. With eight goals in 13 appearances this season, and goals in five of his seven away matches, also try a point on Mikel Oyarzabal to score in this one at 6/4.
1pt Sociedad (-1) on the handicap at 23/20
