Badalona vs Getafe Prediction & Betting tips
In the third round of the Copa del Rey, first-class Getafe will visit third-class Badalona on Saturday evening. Visitors are of course obliged to their stand to reach the next round of the Spanish cup tournament, but the home club has been in excellent shape in recent weeks.
Badalona:
The Catalan Badalona has traditionally been a true basketball city, with the local football club as a poor child. The blue shirts never reached the highest level in their 117-year history, and played in recent years in the Segunda B, in the third class of the Spanish football pyramid. With a series of five undefeated competition duels, the men of coach Manolo Gonzalez are working on a nice series, although they still have to fear relegation with a provisional sixteenth place.
In the cup match against Getafe, Badalona can leave its relegation worries behind for a while. The following is in the mood, because with more than 4,100 tickets sold, the Estadi Municipal is stiffly sold out. Gonzalez is therefore hopeful: ‘We are in top form both mentally and physically. If the fans stand behind us, anything is possible. ” Last season the coach with third division Ebro almost eliminated the big Valencia. Starting this season, the fight for a place in the next round is decided in just one game, which is of course in favor of the small clubs. The Catalans can therefore dream of a cup stunt.
Getafe:
Getafe is emerging at lightning speed from anonymous extras to protagonists on the Spanish and international football scene. With a provisional seventh place in La Liga and hibernation in the Europa League, the Madrilenians show that fifth place last season was no incident. Ajax, the opponent of Getafe in the sixteenth finals of the Europa League, can wet her chest next month!
However, Getafe has to put things right in and against Badalona on Saturday evening. Success team Jose Bordalas’ team lost its last two games, including last weekend’s city derby in-house against Real Madrid (0-3). It was the first time since April 2016 that Los Azulones lost more than two goals, so Getafe wants to nip this potential mini-crisis in the bud. In addition, Getafe has more than six days to recover before the derby against Leganes is scheduled for Friday, January 17. Nevertheless, the expectation is that Bordalas will mainly rely on its reserves, although they are certainly not bakers. In the group stage of the Europa League, Getafe mainly played with a B-team, but managed to grab twelve points in a tough group with Basel and Krasnodar, among others.
