Fresh from their Champions League group-stage opener against Inter Milan, Real Sociedad will switch their attention back to La Liga on Sunday, welcoming Getafe to the Reale Arena.
The home side sit down in 11th position in the table, boasting six points from their opening five matches, while Getafe are ninth, having picked up seven points from their first five games of 2023-24.
We say: Real Sociedad 2-1 Getafe
Real Sociedad have been tough to beat this season, but there have been too many draws early on. It would not be a surprise to see another stalemate here, as Getafe are playing well at the moment, but we are backing the hosts to navigate their way to an important three points.

Villarreal will be looking to bounce back from European disappointment when they continue their La Liga campaign away to Rayo Vallecano on Sunday afternoon.
The Yellow Submarine suffered a 2-0 defeat to Panathinaikos in the Europa League on Thursday, while Rayo will enter the match off the back of a 2-0 victory over Alaves in the league.
We say: Rayo Vallecano 1-1 Villarreal
Rayo will certainly be the fresher outfit, but the majority of the players that started for Villarreal on Thursday will not be in their XI for this match. We actually fancy a low-scoring draw in this contest, which would not be the worst result in the world for either team.

Real Betis will be bidding to bounce back from successive defeats when they welcome Cadiz to Estadio Benito Villamarin in La Liga on Sunday evening.
The home side are currently 10th in the table, picking up seven points from their first five matches of the season, while Cadiz are eighth, also on seven points from their opening five games of 2023-24.
We say: Real Betis 2-1 Cadiz
Real Betis are due a big result, as it has been a difficult week for the club. Cadiz are more than capable of picking up a positive result on Sunday, but we just have a feeling that Pellegrini's side will navigate their way to an important three points in this contest.

Two newly promoted sides will face off at the Estadio de Gran Canaria on Sunday when Las Palmas play host to Granada.
The home side are still searching for their first victory of the La Liga season, while Granada are hoping to bounce back from consecutive defeats by claiming their second win of the campaign.
We say: Las Palmas 2-1 Granada
Las Palmas have proven to be goal-shy in the early stages of the season, but we believe a vulnerable Granada backline could present the hosts with enough chances to end their barren spell.
At the other end of the pitch, Las Palmas have conceded no more than one goal in any of their five games, and we think that a solid defensive base will lay the foundations for a victory on Sunday.

Real Madrid will be bidding to extend their perfect start to the season to seven matches when they head to Wanda Metropolitano on Sunday for the Madrid derby with rivals Atletico Madrid.
Los Blancos currently top the La Liga table, boasting 15 points from their opening five matches, while Atletico are down in seventh, collecting seven points from their opening four games.
We say: Atletico Madrid 1-1 Real Madrid
The form book points to an away victory here, and it would not be a surprise to see Real Madrid secure another three points. Ancelotti's side have not exactly been blowing teams away, though, and Simeone will have a plan for this match, so we are backing the points to be shared in Sunday's Madrid derby.
