Girona will be bidding to return to winning ways in La Liga when they travel to Cadiz on Saturday afternoon.
The visitors have made a brilliant start to the campaign, sitting third in the table, boasting 19 points from their opening eight matches, but they were beaten 3-0 at home by Real Madrid last time out, while Cadiz will enter the match off the back of a 3-2 loss at Atletico Madrid.
We say: Cadiz 1-1 Girona
This is a test of Girona's credentials following the defeat to Real Madrid, but Cadiz are not a soft touch, and we are actually backing a draw here. Girona only picked up one point from their two league games with Cadiz last season and might have to accept a share of the spoils in Saturday's encounter.

Real Madrid will be aiming to make it four wins in a row in all competitions when they welcome Osasuna to Bernabeu in Spain's top flight on Saturday afternoon.
Los Blancos are currently top of the La Liga table, boasting 21 points from their opening eight matches, while Osasuna sit in 10th position, collecting 10 points from their first eight games of 2023-24.
We say: Real Madrid 2-0 Osasuna
Osasuna are certainly capable of making this a tricky match for Real Madrid, who had an energy-zapping contest in Italy on Tuesday. Los Blancos have been very consistent this season, though, and we are expecting Ancelotti's side to secure another three points in this encounter.

Valencia will be bidding to return to winning ways in La Liga when they head to Mallorca on Saturday.
Los Che will enter this match off the back of successive league defeats to Real Sociedad and Real Betis, while Mallorca have drawn their last two against Barcelona and Rayo Vallecano.
We say: Mallorca 1-1 Valencia
Mallorca have been the draw specialists in La Liga this season, and we can see the points being shared in this weekend's clash. Valencia will be wary of suffering another defeat, which could mean that it is a cagey affair, and we believe that both managers could ultimately settle for a share of the spoils.

Sevilla will be bidding to return to winning ways in Spain's top flight when they welcome Rayo Vallecano to Estadio Ramon on Saturday evening.
The home side have made an underwhelming start to the season, only picking up seven points from seven matches to sit down in 15th position in the La Liga table, while Rayo are up in eighth position, collecting 12 points from their first eight games of 2023-24.
We say: Sevilla 2-1 Rayo Vallecano
Sevilla are struggling to win at the moment, but they are not losing many, and there is certainly enough quality in the squad for the team to rise up the table in the coming weeks. Rayo will be the fresher of the two sides, but we are expecting the hosts to navigate their way to an important win here.
