Espanyol vs Getafe Prediction & Tips
Espanyol have 35 points and are 15th in the La Liga table. The gap with Getafe, who are above them, is only 4 points, and the Catalans also have a game in hand. At the same time, the advantage over the relegation zone is 6 points, which does not allow the team to relax with 7 games left in the season.
Espanyol’s form deserves a positive assessment: in the last 7 matchdays, the team has collected 12 points. In the last two games, Manolo Gonzalez’s men have won convincing victories without conceding a single goal. Also noteworthy is the stable home record: the ‘periquitos’ have not lost at their home stadium for 9 consecutive matches. This period includes a draw with Atlético (1-1) and a win over Real Madrid (1-0).
Getafe have shown unstable results lately, alternating wins with defeats. In the last 10 matchdays, the team has not drawn a single match, scoring 15 points thanks to 5 victories. It is remarkable that 4 of these victories were achieved in away matches, which makes the ‘Blues’ a very dangerous opponent away from their stadium.
Getafe’s defence deserves special attention: the team has conceded only 28 goals, the third best figure in La Liga. Furthermore, in away games, José Bordalás’ side have conceded just 14 goals, second only to Diego Simeone and his Atlético.
Only four points separate the club from the European competition zone, which is a great incentive. The team’s last participation in European competitions was in the 2019/20 season, when the ‘Blues’ took part in the Europa League. On that occasion, Getafe reached the round of 16, where they were eliminated by Inter Milan.
