Real Sociedad will be bidding to continue their strong run of form in La Liga when they travel to Getafe on Sunday afternoon.
The away side are currently sixth in the table, three points ahead of seventh-placed Valencia, while Getafe occupy 10th, boasting 39 points from their 31 games during a solid campaign.
We say: Getafe 1-1 Real Sociedad
Real Sociedad, on paper at least, are the favourites for this match, but Getafe have only lost three of their 15 home league matches this season. It would not be a surprise to see an away win on Sunday, but we are expecting Getafe to be good enough to secure a share of the spoils in this clash.

Almeria will be bidding to give their incredibly-slim La Liga survival hopes a boost when they welcome Villarreal to the Power Horse Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
The home side are rock bottom of the division, 14 points from the safety of 17th position, while Villarreal occupy ninth, eight points behind seventh-placed Valencia in the race for Europe.
We say: Almeria 1-2 Villarreal
Almeria are seeking a first La Liga success over Villarreal for 14 years, but we are finding it difficult to predict a positive result for the basement side. Villarreal are in excellent form on their travels, and we are backing the Yellow Submarine to navigate their way to all three points.

Atletico Madrid will be bidding to bounce back from their Champions League quarter-final disappointment when they resume their La Liga campaign away to Alaves on Sunday evening.
Diego Simeone's side are currently fourth in the La Liga table, four points ahead of fifth-placed Athletic Bilbao, while Alaves sit 14th, seven points above the relegation zone.
We say: Alaves 1-2 Atletico Madrid
Atletico have won five of the last six La Liga meetings between these two sides, but Alaves did record a 1-0 victory in the corresponding contest during the 2021-22 campaign.
Alaves will certainly be the fresher of the two teams for this match, but we are expecting Atletico to navigate their way to an important three points on Sunday evening.

Real Madrid vs. Barcelona (Sunday, 8.00pm)

Real Madrid will be bidding to move 11 points clear of second-placed Barcelona at the top of the La Liga table when they welcome their bitter rivals to Bernabeu for the latest instalment of El Clasico.
Both sides were in Champions League quarter-final action earlier this week, with Real Madrid overcoming Manchester City to advance to the final four of the competition, but Barcelona were knocked out by Paris Saint-Germain after a difficult second leg on home soil.
We say: Real Madrid 1-1 Barcelona
There has not actually been a league draw between these two sides since December 2019, but we are backing a stalemate this weekend. Both sides were involved in emotional European affairs during the week, and with Real Madrid not needing to win, we believe that the points could be shared at Bernabeu.
