Getafe will be bidding to stretch their unbeaten run in La Liga to five matches when they head to Alaves on Sunday afternoon.
The visitors have moved up into 14th spot in the La Liga table due to their recent strong run of form, while Alaves sit in 18th spot, two points behind 17th-placed Espanyol in the battle to remain in the division.
We say: Alaves 0-0 Getafe
Unfortunately, we are not expecting this match to be a classic; six of the last nine La Liga meetings between these two sides have finished level, including three goalless draws, and we are predicting another stalemate on Sunday afternoon.

Two teams bidding to bounce back from Copa del Rey quarter-final defeats will lock horns in Spain's top flight on Sunday afternoon, with Valencia welcoming Leganes to Mestalla.
Valencia suffered a 5-0 defeat to Barcelona in the final eight of the competition on Thursday, while Leganes' journey was ended by Real Madrid on Wednesday, with Los Blancos scoring a last-gasp winner in the five-goal thriller.
We say: Valencia 1-1 Leganes
Four of the last five La Liga meetings between these two sides have finished level, including three 1-1 draws, and we are predicting that scoreline here. Valencia have home advantage, but Leganes have proven to be very difficult to beat on their travels this season, and we are expecting them to be good enough to avoid defeat at Mestalla.

Espanyol will be bidding to stretch their unbeaten run of form in all competitions to six matches when they make the trip to Anoeta Stadium on Sunday evening to tackle Real Sociedad.
The visitors are currently 17th in the La Liga table, two points above 18th-placed Alaves, while an underwhelming campaign has left Real Sociedad in 11th spot, boasting only 28 points from their 22 matches.
We say: Real Sociedad 2-1 Espanyol
Real Sociedad have won each of their last four home league games against Espanyol, and we are backing a narrow success for the Basque outfit this weekend, but it would not be a surprise to see the points shared.

Barcelona will be aiming to post a third straight victory in Spain's top flight when they continue their campaign with a contest against Sevilla at Estadio Ramon on Sunday evening.
The visitors are third in the La Liga table, four points behind leaders Real Madrid, while Sevilla sit 12th, but Los Nervionenses are only four points off sixth in the race to secure European football for next season.
We say: Sevilla 1-2 Barcelona
Sevilla are certainly capable of picking up a positive result here, and it has been a solid start to 2025 for the team. That said, it is difficult to ignore Barcelona's record against Sevilla, and despite the quick turnaround from the Copa del Rey clash with Valencia, we are expecting Flick's side to navigate their way to an important three points on Sunday night.
