Tip 1 � A clean sheet for Malaga

This weeks Friday fixture sees Getafe travel to Malaga, although Javi Gracia's men have only recorded four home wins this season they have only conceded seven goals � the second lowest in the league. Getafe have had a very inconsistent season, once they string a few wins together and find some form they then go onto lose their next three games. Away from home they have been very poor (W1, D2, L7) and scoring only nine goals, for this reason we are backing the home side to keep a clean sheet. Goalkeeper Carlos Kameni (MO:, FB:5.5m) is a great shot stopper and should rack up a high points tally, elsewhere Roberto Rosales (MO:, FB:5.5m) offers an attacking threat from right back and has three assists this season, one of which came in the 2-1 win at Eibar.

Tip 2 � Barcelona to turn over Levante.

The Copa del Rey has certainly been an interesting watch this season, but the most impressive result came this week when Barcelona overturned Valencia 7-0 in the first leg of the Semi Final. Luis Suarez (MO:, FB:13.5m) grabbed four goals in the game, whilst Lionel Messi (MO:, FB:16.0m) only got the three. This weekend Luis Enrique's side travel to bottom of the table Levante, a side that have conceded 41 goals this season. Uruguayan Suarez has 19 goals this season whilst Messi sits on 12 goals. It's hard to look beyond these two running riot against Levante.

Tip 3 � A home win for Rayo Vallecano.

Rayo Vallecano are one of the teams in La Liga that everyone just loves watching, that may sound strange to some as they sit 18th in the league, but Paco Jemez's side take the game to everyone they play and throw men forwards no matter what the score. This Saturday they welcome Las Palmas to the Campo de Fútbol de Vallecas in what can be described as a ‘6 pointer'. Quique Setién has had mixed fortunes since taking over from Paco Herrera in October, one area Las Palmas have disappointed in is their away form with the Canary Island side yet to win an away game this season, conceding 23 goals. It's striker Miku (MO:, FB:6.0m), the Venezuelan striker has only scored two goals this season but looked impressive in the draw away to Deportivo, this should be enough to retain his place from Javi Guerra. Jozabed (MO:, FB:5.5m) also offers good points potential, the midfielder has eight goals this season and has scored in his last three La Liga games.

Tip 4 � Tony Sanabria to be amongst the goals.

19-year-old striker Tony Sanabria (MO:, FB:6.5m) has been a revelation for Sporting Gijon this season, despite his young age the Paraguayan has shown great maturity scoring 10 goals in 15 La Liga games. He's a very accomplished finisher and has changed the way Sporting play. Sanabria has scored four goals in his last two games including a hat trick against Real Sociedad. This weekend Abelardo's side welcome Deportivo La Coruna to El Molinón, their guests have conceded 11 goals in their last five games. So although Sporting may not win the game we expect Sanabria to feature on the scoresheet.

Tip 5 � The Atletico Madrid defence to bounce back.

Diego Simeone's fell to a 2-1 defeat to title rivals Barcelona last weekend and will be eager to set that straight when they face Eibar at home this weekend. The Vicente Calderón has been a fortress for Atletico Madrid, and they have only conceded five goals in their own stadium. Eibar have been very enjoyable this season, Keko and Borja Baston have made the small Basque side one of the surprises of the season. The latter Baston is on loan from Atletico Madrid, there are some rumours that he will only be able to play this weekend if Eibar pay Atletico 150K, even if he does play we still expect Eibar to record a clean sheet with Giménez (MO:, FB:6.0m) and Jan Oblak (MO:, FB:6.5m) two consistent players in the Atletico defence. It's expected that Jesús Gámez (MO:, FB:5.0m) will come into the back line and Stefan Savic (MO:, FB:5.5m) taking the place of Diego Godin. Thanks for reading.
