Alaves vs Getafe Prediction & Betting tips
On the sixth round of the Spanish La Liga, the surprise team Deportivo Alaves meets Getafe. Alaves is in third place in the league and only has a three-point gap to Real Madrid in second place. Getafe is currently in solid midfield in tenth place. A win could move them towards Europa League places, while a defeat would certainly lead to a drop in the bottom third of the table.
Alaves:
Alaves did not have to worry about relegation last year, but in the end it was only enough for a place in the lower third. Coach Abelardo’s team ended the season in 14th place. The analysis immediately reveals that “El Glorioso” was the lowest in the category with only two draws. This could be pure coincidence. Or Abelardo’s philosophy is “victory or defeat, we do not play a draw. We want to win. “One can truly imagine his cabin approach with such statistics.
The season started very well this season. After the opening defeat against the Spanish champions FC Barcelona (0: 3) was not lost. This was followed by a 0-0 draw against Betis Sevilla, a 2-1 win over Espanyol Barcelona (it was Espanyol’s first defeat since 18/04/2018), a 1-0 win against Real Valladolid and a stalwart 5-1 win against Rayo Vallecano.
Speaking for Alaves also means that they have consistently scored at least two goals against Getafe in the last four home matches against Getafe. Abelardo has to do without Rodrigo Ely, Borja Baston and Thomas Pina.
Getafe:
Getafe finished eighth last season. Three points were missing in the end to seventh place and the Europa League opportunity. Although Pepe Bordalas may have been annoyed, he now has at least the advantage of not having to burden his players this season.
The current season was similar to that of today’s opponents. First, the opponent was called Real Madrid. Getafe also lost the opening match 2-0. After that, they managed to beat Eibar (2: 0), draw against Valladolid (0: 0) and beat Sevilla CF (2: 0). Only on the last game day Getafe had to take his second defeat of the season. Against rebuilt Rojiblancos they lost 0: 2. For that had to be played against two top teams, reads a gate balance of 4: 4 for Getafe well. Even seven points from five games are a good result, since two of the first five opponents came from Madrid. All the more impressive is the fact that less than three goals have been scored in Getafe’s last ten games. This underlines the decent defense performance. Only against Atletico and Real had Getafe take goals. This explains, among other things, why Getafe won five of their last six away games.
Coach Bordalas will be without midfielder Ivan Alejo, who saw his opponents red at the last game against Atletico Madrid.
