Real Madrid are playing catch-up in the La Liga title race but should cut the gap on Barcelona to just a point when Getafe come to the Bernabeu tonight.
The Madrid giants surrendered top spot last weekend after a shock loss at Osasuna but responded with a midweek Champions League win over Benfica.
That has boosted morale and it's hard to see them slipping up at home to a Getafe side who sit down in 14th place.
Real Madrid vs Getafe
Getafe's recent record against Real Madrid is terrible, losing the last eight meetings while scoring just once in the process.
So it's no surprise to see the Bernabeu giants as 1/3 favourites, although you can boost their odds to evens at StarSports by backing Real Madrid to be winning at half-time and full-time.
Alvaro Arbeloa is still missing a host of key players, with Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham among the absentees.
Turkish kid Arda Guler is enjoying an extended run in the side due to all those injuries and looks decent value at 6/4 with BetMGM for a goal or assist tonight.
Gil Vicente vs Benfica
It will be interesting to see how Benfica respond to their Bernabeu heartache when they return to domestic duty tonight at Gil Vicente.
Jose Mourinho's men made enough chances to beat Real Madrid in midweek so they can take some heart from their display.
But winning the Primeira Liga looks like a tall order, with Benfica sitting in third place, 10 points behind leaders Porto.
The Eagles still have a game in hand and they can't afford to slip up away to fifth-placed Gil Vincente.
BTTS has landed in eight of the last 10 for Gil Vicente so it bodes well for an entertaining game tonight.
Combining both teams to score with over 2.5 goals pays a decent 13/8 with Betfred.

Murilo de Souza has hit a rich vein of scoring form at Gil Vicente, netting six times in his last nine matches. He's a tempting 5/4 at Bet365 just to have an effort on target tonight.
Birmingham City vs Middlesbrough
There's a big game in the EFL Championship tonight as Middlesbrough's promotion push takes them to Birmingham.
Boro's title hopes have suffered a blow after taking just two points from their last three games and they now trail leaders Coventry by eight.
Third-placed Millwall are also just a point behind Middlesbrough so Kim Hellberg needs to get his side back on track tonight.
They're up against a Birmingham team who were mauled 3-0 by the Lions in their last outing but that was City's first league defeat since New Year's Day.
This one should be tight and the half-time draw appeals at 5/4 with 888Sport.
Birmingham's last five games have all hit double figures for corners so I also fancy over 10.5 flag kicks tonight at 15/13 with Unibet.
