Girona vs. Getafe (Sunday, 6.00pm)
Girona and Getafe will both be looking to build on solid draws in their opening matches of the new La Liga season when they lock horns at Estadi Montilivi on Sunday evening.
The home side claimed a point in a 1-1 draw with Real Sociedad last time out, while Getafe started their 2023-24 campaign with a goalless draw at home to the champions Barcelona.
We say: Girona 1-1 Getafe
Both teams would have taken confidence from their results against strong teams on the opening weekend of the new season, and we are expecting a close match on Sunday. A case can be made for both sides to win it, but we are struggling to separate them on this occasion.

Barcelona vs. Cadiz (Sunday, 6.30pm)
Barcelona will be bidding to record their first victory of the 2023-24 La Liga campaign when they welcome Cadiz to Camp Nou on Sunday evening.
The Catalan outfit were held to a goalless draw by Getafe in their season opener last weekend, while Cadiz got off to a winning start by beating Alaves 1-0 on home soil.
We say: Barcelona 2-1 Cadiz
Cadiz, as mentioned, know what it takes to win at Camp Nou, and this is not a classic Barcelona side by any means, as Getafe demonstrated last weekend. This has the potential to be a tricky game for Xavi's team, but we are expecting them to navigate their way to all three points in their second match of the campaign.

Betis vs. Atletico (Sunday, 8.30pm)
Arguably the pick of the fixtures in the second gameweek of the 2023-24 La Liga campaign will take place in Seville on Sunday evening, with Real Betis welcoming Atletico Madrid.
Real Betis opened their season with a 2-1 success at Villarreal last weekend, while Atletico were in action on Monday evening, running out 3-1 winners over Granada at Wanda Metropolitano.
We say: Real Betis 1-2 Atletico Madrid
Atletico have won seven of their last eight league games against Real Betis, remaining unbeaten in the process, which is a difficult record to ignore. Real Betis deserve huge respect, but Atletico's away form last season was very strong, and we are backing Simeone's side to navigate their way to all three points here.
