Getafe will be bidding to stretch their unbeaten run in all competitions to six matches when they continue their La Liga campaign with a home fixture against Sevilla on Saturday afternoon.
The home side, who are 14th in the La Liga table, will enter the match off the back of a 3-0 victory over Real Sociedad, while 12th-placed Sevilla picked up a point in a 1-1 draw with Espanyol last time out.
We say: Getafe 1-1 Sevilla
Both sides are in strong form, and we are finding it difficult to separate them here; Sevilla are not the best travellers, but Getafe have only won three times at home in the league this term, drawing six, and we are predicting another stalemate here.

The Yellow Submarine are currently fifth in the La Liga table, six points behind fourth-placed Athletic Bilbao, while Real Valladolid are bottom of the division, picking up only 15 points from their opening 21 matches of the campaign.
We say: Villarreal 2-0 Real Valladolid
Real Valladolid have struggled on their travels this season, and we are finding it incredibly difficult to back anything other than a comfortable success for a Villarreal outfit that need all three points to close the gap on fourth-placed Athletic.

Atletico Madrid will be aiming to return to winning ways in Spain's top flight when they welcome Mallorca to Wanda Metropolitano on Saturday evening.
Diego Simeone's side are second in the La Liga table, four points behind the leaders Real Madrid, while Mallorca occupy sixth position, one point ahead of seventh-placed Rayo Vallecano.
We say: Atletico Madrid 1-0 Mallorca
The last three La Liga matches between these two sides have finished 1-0 to Atletico, and we can see the same scoreline here - Mallorca are capable of making it a tricky game, but Simeone's side should be able to navigate their way to all three points.

Seeking a 16th La Liga victory of the 2024-25 campaign, reigning champions Real Madrid will head to struggling Espanyol on Saturday night, with both teams in need of the points for very different reasons.
Real Madrid are top of the La Liga table, four points ahead of second-placed Atletico Madrid on the same number of matches (21), while Espanyol are 18th in the division, one point from the safety of 17th position.
We say: Espanyol 1-2 Real Madrid
Espanyol are capable of making this a tricky encounter for Real Madrid, and we are expecting the Catalan side to get their name on the scoresheet on Saturday. However, Los Blancos should have enough quality to navigate their way to a vital three points.
