Getafe will be looking to recover from back-to-back defeats in Spain's top flight when they continue their campaign at home to Real Sociedad on Sunday.

The home side, who occupy 13th spot in the table, will enter the contest off the back of successive losses to Sevilla and Real Madrid, while Sociedad thumped Cadiz 4-1 in their last league game on February 7.

We say: Getafe 1-1 Real Sociedad

Sociedad have shared the points in three of their last five league matches, while Getafe played out a draw with Alaves in their last game on home soil. Both sides will feel that they can hurt the other in the final third, but we are finding it difficult to separate them and have therefore backed a 1-1 draw.

Real Madrid will be aiming to continue their pursuit of La Liga leaders Atletico Madrid when they welcome Valencia to the Spanish capital on Sunday afternoon.

Zinedine Zidane's side are currently second in the table, five points behind Atletico, who also have two games in hand, while Valencia occupy 12th position in Spain's top flight.

We say: Real Madrid 1-0 Valencia

Valencia have had their problems this season but are still a very dangerous side, and Madrid will be aware of the challenge that Los Che could present. The hosts will again be without the services of a number of important players, but are are backing Zidane's side to collect all three points courtesy of a narrow win.

Levante will be looking to stretch their unbeaten run in La Liga to six matches when they welcome Osasuna to Valencia on Sunday evening.

Paco Lopez's side will enter the match off the back of a 1-1 draw with Athletic Bilbao in the first leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final on Thursday night, while Osasuna recorded a 2-1 win over Eibar in their last league match on February 7.

We say: Levante 2-1 Osasuna

Osasuna have had much longer to prepare for this match and will enter the contest off the back of an important win over Eibar. Levante have proved very difficult to beat in recent weeks, though, and we just fancy the home side to edge a tight game on Sunday evening.

One of the most intriguing matches in the latest set of La Liga fixtures will take place at Estadio de la Ceramica on Sunday night as Villarreal host Real Betis.

Villarreal are currently fifth in the table, having picked up 36 points from their 22 matches this season, while Betis occupy seventh position and would move to within three points of the Yellow Submarine with a win.

We say: Villarreal 2-2 Real Betis

Villarreal have not actually won in the league since January 8, but Betis have been victorious in three of their last five in Spain's top flight. This is a difficult game to call as both teams have plenty to play for, and we have ultimately settled on a 2-2 draw at Estadio de la Ceramica.
