The Yellow Submarine have won their opening two league fixtures to sit at the top of the La Liga table, while Getafe are bottom, having lost their opening two games against Atletico Madrid and Girona.
We say: Getafe 1-2 Villarreal
Getafe's form early in the season has been disappointing, and we are finding it difficult to back against Villarreal here. The Yellow Submarine have made a huge impression early in the campaign and should have too much quality fo their opponents on Sunday afternoon.

We say: Barcelona 3-1 Real Valladolid
Barcelona need to back up their strong win over Real Sociedad last time out with another victory, and we are fully expecting Xavi's side to triumph here. Real Valladolid have quality and are capable of causing problems, but Barcelona should have too much for their opponents at Camp Nou.

Real Madrid will be bidding to make it three straight wins at the start of the 2022-23 La Liga campaign when they head to RCDE Stadium on Sunday evening to take on Espanyol.
Los Blancos have beaten Almeria and Celta Vigo in their first two games of the season, while Espanyol have picked up only a point from their two fixtures with Celta and Rayo Vallecano.
We say: Espanyol 1-2 Real Madrid
Espanyol are capable of making this a very tough match for Real Madrid, and they beat the champions 2-1 in the reverse game last term. The Catalan side are yet to get going this season, though, and we are expecting Ancelotti's team to collect all three points courtesy of a narrow win.
