Cordoba vs Getafe Prediction & Betting tips
Córdoba CF has already spent nine seasons in La Liga. Currently, however, the Andalusian club can only be found in Segunda División B and is therefore bobbing around in the third division. A cup game against an ambitious first division team is just the right time to show off again on a national level on a larger stage.
Really promising is the bet that the third division team will bow the current 16th of La Liga from the Copa del Rey but not.
However, it can be stated that Getafe is having a hard time scoring goals these days. In 16 games in La Liga, the club from the Madrid area scored only twelve goals, making it the second weakest offensive in the top division. The Andalusian third division team, who won their last three competitive games to zero, faces this.
Cordoba :
The Córdoba Club de Fútbol has existed since 1906 and spent a total of nine years in the top Spanish league. The last time the Andalusians were able to play a year in La Liga in the 2014/15 season, however, after the surprising rise, they were the last to be relegated immediately.
After 21st place in La Liga 2, the Blanquiverdes (in German: the White-Greens) currently even have to make do with the third-class Segunda División B, in which at least a solid start succeeded.
The relegated team won 14 of 24 possible points in the league, which is currently enough for second place in the table. The association, which is also nicknamed “Los Califas” (in English: the caliphs), would then be eligible for participation in the promotion groups.
This is exactly the declared goal of the Andalusians, who parted from their coach Sabas early in November after only two out of twelve possible points. Pablo Alfaro took over and promptly put the club back on the road to success. The Blanquiverdes played three competitive games in December and each one could be won to zero.
Among other things, Córdoba CF bought the ticket for the second round of the Copa del Rey on December 16 with a 1-0 home win over second division club Albacete Balompié. A result that underlines that the Califas are not a typical third division, but rather have quality in their squad.
Getafe :
The Getafe Club de Fùtbol plays in La Liga without a break of one year (2016/17) and has mostly knocked at the top under successful coach Pepe Bordalás in the last three years. In 2018/19, the kickers from the Madrid area even finished a season in fifth place and qualified for the Europa League.
Currently, however, the dark blues are going through a phase of weakness. For the first time since the direct rise four years ago, everyday life in La Liga includes relegation battle for the club founded in 1983.
Pepe Bordalás’s squad was only able to win four of the 16 league games played, which is why the current table is only 16th. The cushion on the first relegation place is just two points, which could be used up quickly.
The trigger for the current lull is found very quickly: The offensive simply stings too rarely. Getafe has only scored twelve league goals in their 16 league games to date. With the newcomer Cadiz, only another first division team presented itself even tamer. In particular, Cucho Hernández, who was borrowed from Watford with a lot of praise, fell well short of expectations with just two goals from 14 games.
What makes the tip on the clear away win of the dark blues even more difficult at Cordoba against Getafe is the fact that the Madrilenians are currently in their third English week in a row. The Bordalás team has been waiting for another victory for three games. In the last six days there were even two 0-1 defeats, in which the offensive failed again.
All of this increases the value for the bet on a game with a maximum of two goals, although the kickers from the Madrid area prefer to come to Andalusia. After all, the match against an opponent who, under a new coach with a new system, did not concede a goal in three games will certainly not be a sure-fire success.
