Correct score prediction: Leganes 0-1 Getafe
These sides looked quite evenly matched in the first half of the season, but with Borja Mayoral fit again, and following some decent January additions, Getafe look much the stronger side currently.

Player to watch – Borja Mayoral
Despite only starting once in La Liga, it’s telling that only one player from either of these sides can better Borja Mayoral’s return of four goals. The striker, who netted 15 in the league last term, is looking much sharper now following injury problems.
Mayoral striking late
All of the forward’s five competitive goals this term have come after the hour mark. He has stepped up with some key late interventions, with three goals in the final 10 minutes of La Liga matches.
