Mallorca will be aiming to make it back-to-back wins in Spain’s top flight when they continue their campaign with a clash against Getafe in the Spanish capital on Saturday afternoon.
The visitors are currently sixth in the La Liga tableboasting 27 points from their opening 18 matches of the season, while Getafe sit 16th, just one point outside of the relegation zone.
We say: Getafe 0-0 Mallorca
Getafe are so difficult to score against at home, but they find it tough down the other end of the field; it would not be a surprise to see a narrow win either way here, but we just have a feeling that the points will be shared in a goalless draw.

Ernesto Valverde’s side, who are fourth in the La Liga tablewere held to a goalless draw by Alaves last time out, while eighth-placed Osasuna will enter the clash off the back of a 0-0 draw with Espanyol.
We say: Osasuna 1-2 Athletic Bilbao
Athletic will be aiming to make it back-to-back away successes over Osasuna, but it is a big ask against the hosts, who have lost just once in front of their own fans this term; Athletic are a classy outfit, though, and we are backing them to edge this contest.

Level on points (38) at the top of the La Liga table, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid will lock horns in a huge game on Saturday evening, with any potential winner guaranteeing themselves first position in the division heading into 2025.
Barcelona are at the summit due to their superior goal difference, but Atletico, who have a game in hand on the division leaders, are the form team entering this contest, with Diego Simeone’s side on an incredible 11-game winning run in all competitions.
We say: Barcelona 1-1 Atletico Madrid
This is such a difficult match to call; it would not be a surprise to see a home or indeed an away win on Saturday, but both managers would view a point as a solid result, and a very tight match could end with the points being shared here, opening the door for Real Madrid to finish the year at the top of the division.
