Villarreal will be aiming to record just their third La Liga win of the campaign when they head to the Spanish capital on Saturday afternoon to face Getafe.
The Yellow Submarine have only picked up seven points from their opening seven league games this season, which has left them in 14th position in the table, while Getafe are in 10th spot with eight points.
We say: Getafe 1-1 Villarreal
Villarreal are a difficult team to back at the moment, with the Yellow Submarine finding it difficult to get going this season. Getafe have also been inconsistent, but they have been strong at home, picking up seven points from an available nine, and we are backing a draw in this contest.

Rayo Vallecano will be bidding to stretch their unbeaten run in La Liga to four matches when they welcome Mallorca to Estadio de Vallecas on Saturday afternoon.
Francisco's side will enter the contest off the back of a goalless draw with Cadiz, while Mallorca held the champions Barcelona to a 2-2 draw in their last match.
We say: Rayo Vallecano 2-1 Mallorca
Rayo's start to the season has been impressive, picking up 11 points from seven matches, and we are backing the home side to secure another win here. Mallorca conceded five in their last away game against Girona, and they might be left disappointed once again on the road.

Real Madrid will be aiming to move onto 21 points from their opening eight matches of the 2023-24 La Liga campaign when they head to an in-form Girona on Saturday night.
Los Blancos will enter the match off the back of a 2-0 victory over Las Palmas on Wednesday, while Girona continued their excellent form by beating Villarreal 2-1 on the same night.
We say: Girona 2-2 Real Madrid
This is a very, very difficult match to call, and we changed our minds a couple of times before settling on a draw. Real Madrid are the favourites, but Girona's form has been excellent this season, and the Catalan side have also enjoyed their recent meetings with the capital giants, so the spoils could be shared here.

One of the biggest matches on the La Liga calendar will take place at Anoeta Stadium on Saturday evening, with Real Sociedad welcoming Athletic Bilbao for the Basque derby.
The home side have picked up 12 points from their seven league games this season to sit fifth in the table, while Athletic are fourth, boasting 14 points from their opening seven matches.
We say: Real Sociedad 1-1 Athletic Bilbao
This has all of the makings of a very interesting match, with both sides in strong form in the early stages of the season. It would not be a surprise to see a winner here either way, but we just have a feeling that the two teams will share the points on Saturday.
