Alaves will be bidding to continue their strong start to the 2024-25 campaign when they head to Madrid on Saturday afternoon to tackle a struggling Getafe outfit.
The visitors will enter the contest off the back of a 3-2 loss at Real Madrid, while Getafe's winless start to the campaign continued with a 1-0 defeat to Barcelona last time out.
We say: Getafe 1-1 Alaves
As mentioned, six of the last eight La Liga meetings between these two sides have finished level, and we are expecting another stalemate here. It would not be a shock to see a narrow win either way, but we have had to settle on a low-scoring draw at Estadio Coliseum.

Rayo Vallecano will be looking to stretch their unbeaten run in La Liga to four matches when they continue their 2024-25 campaign at home to Leganes on Saturday afternoon.
Inigo Perez's side will enter the game off the back of a 0-0 draw with Girona, while Leganes ended a three-game losing run in Spain's top flight with a 1-1 draw at Getafe in their last match.
We say: Rayo Vallecano 2-1 Leganes
Leganes will certainly have taken confidence from their draw with Getafe, but Rayo were impressive in their last home fixture, holding Atletico to a 1-1 draw, and we are backing Perez's team to navigate their way to a narrow victory in Saturday's contest.

Real Sociedad will be aiming to record just their second La Liga win of the season when they welcome Valencia to Anoeta Stadium on Saturday evening.
The hosts have only picked up five points from their opening seven matches of the campaign, which has left them down in 16th spot in the table, one position above Valencia, who have also struggled this term.
We say: Real Sociedad 1-1 Valencia
Four of the last seven La Liga meetings between these two sides have finished level, and we can see another draw here. Real Sociedad have home advantage, but the Basque outfit have found it difficult this season, and we are expecting a low-scoring draw on Saturday evening.

Barcelona will be aiming to make it eight straight wins at the start of a La Liga campaign for just the second time in their history when they head to El Sadar on Saturday night to tackle Osasuna.
The Catalan giants have been perfect in Spain's top flight this season, securing 21 points from seven matches to top the table, while a solid start for Osasuna has left Los Rojillos in seventh position.
We say: Osasuna 1-2 Barcelona
Due to Barcelona's substantial injury problems, it would not be a surprise to see Osasuna claim a point here, especially considering their strong home record this season. That said, we are backing Barcelona to navigate their way to yet another three points at the start of the campaign.
