High-flying Rayo Vallecano will be bidding to make it three La Liga victories in a row when they travel to Coliseum Alfonso Perez on Sunday afternoon to tackle Getafe.
Rayo are currently fifth in the table, only three points behind fourth-placed Atletico Madrid, while Getafe sit 19th in Spain's top flight, having collected just 18 points from 20 games in 2022-23.
We say: Getafe 1-2 Rayo Vallecano
Rayo are on a roll at the moment, and we can see the surprise top-four challengers picking up another three points here. Getafe's home form this season is the second-worst in the league, and although they were much improved against Atletico, Rayo have enough quality to secure another three points on Sunday.

Atletico Madrid will be bidding to return to winning ways in Spain's top flight when they travel to an in-form Celta Vigo on Sunday afternoon.
The visitors will enter the contest off the back of a 1-1 home draw with struggling Getafe, while Celta were on the right end of a seven-goal thriller with Real Betis in Seville last time out.
We say: Celta Vigo 1-1 Atletico Madrid
Atletico are difficult to back with any real confidence at the moment, with the Red and Whites finding it difficult to show their best form. We are not expecting Simeone's side to lose, but Celta are not being beaten at the moment, so we have had to settle on a low-scoring draw in Vigo.

Real Valladolid will be looking to make it three La Liga wins in a row when they welcome Osasuna to Estadio Municipal Jose Zorrilla on Sunday night.
The home side, who have risen into 12th spot in the table, will enter the contest off the back of a 1-0 victory over Real Sociedad, while Osasuna played out a 1-1 draw with Espanyol last time out.
We say: Real Valladolid 1-1 Osasuna
Four of the last six La Liga meetings between these two teams have finished level, and we can see a low-scoring draw in this match. Real Valladolid's recent form has been impressive, but Osasuna usually do not give much away, so we are predicting a stalemate on Sunday evening.

Barcelona will be aiming to make it six La Liga victories in a row and open up a 11-point lead at the top of the table when they head to Villarreal on Sunday night.
The Catalan giants are currently in pole position to reclaim the title, while Villarreal are sixth in the division, four points behind fourth-placed Atletico Madrid in the battle for a Champions League spot.
We say: Villarreal 1-2 Barcelona
Barcelona's long winning run is going to end at some point, but we are backing them to pick up another victory here. Villarreal are more than capable of making this an uncomfortable match for the league leaders, but Barcelona have enough quality to navigate their way to an important three points.
