Getafe vs Alaves Prediction & Betting tips
No day without football in Spain! In fact, the English weeks with the Copa del Rey are barely one day the La Liga teams are not in action. After Thursday’s round of 16 in the Spanish royal cup were completed, on Friday the prelude to the 20th matchday on the stage. The prelude to the second half of the season will be played in the Madrid suburb of Getafe. On Friday night, Getafe meets Deportivo Alaves!
Surprise teams this season. In tabular terms, this inconspicuous game is really an absolute top game. Getafe has 28 counters on the credit side, making it sixth on the table. The guests from the Basque country collected so far 32 counters and are thus directly in front of Getafe in the table in fourth place. Both teams outdo in this Sasison by a very strong defensive performance.
Getafe:
Seven wins, seven draws and only five defeats, the Getafe CF, in the previous year even newcomers, reached this season. With 28 points, the team from Madrid looks back on a very enjoyable first half and can dream of returning to Europe. Due to the very dense midfield in La Liga, the table sixth but also has not got rid of any relegation worries. The lead on the first relegation place is “only” nine points, a negative run could bring the Bordalas-Elf still quite in the bad mood.
But there are no signs of such a negative run. But the team acts extremely stable. The defensive is the big showpiece and had to take only 16 goals in 19 league games. This means the second best defensive in the whole league. Only in the two city derbies against Real Madrid and Atletico and against FC Barcelona had goalkeeper David Soria concede two goals. In the remaining 16 league games Getafe held the zero or got a maximum goal. Attacking enough also few hits for good results and many points. A Torspektakel is therefore not expected at Getafe. Of the 19 league games ended only four games with over 2.5 (two home games and away games). On average, there were only 1.67 goals in the home games of the Rand-Madrilenes. Accordingly, in the game between Getafe and Alaves the odds on the sub 2.5 are only at 1.46. However, not much speaks against these bets.
The football played by the Bordalas team is certainly not very attractive. Last weekend, against the yellow submarine from Villarreal the Elf took little part in the game and was mainly on the destruction of the opposing game from. With the few chances to score shows Getafe however a coolness before the gate. The best example was the 2: 1 winner. Vertical, fast game after ball conquest and a fantastic Lupfer of Angel made for the seventh trip of the current season. The flight also continued in the Copa del Rey as the table sixth qualified against Real Valladolid for the quarter-finals.
Alaves:
How fast paced football is, the Basques have learned from Alaves in the last twelve months first-hand. When the Spaniard Abelardo was introduced in December 2017 as the new head coach, the team was in acute descent. With a successful spring managed to avoid relegation and this season increased the small club from the Basque again significantly. Not the traditional Athletic Bilbao or Real Sociedad de San Sebastian are the figureheads in the Basque Country but the former UEFA Cup finalist from Alaves. The first round ended with 32 points, making it not only the dream of Europe realistic, but the gap to a Champions League place is just a counter.
Similar to Getafe, the Basque have been able to convince the defensive so far this season. 19 goals average on average one goal per game. In addition to the defensive strength and the home strength is an important point for the excellent result. There has not been a single home defeat at home in Mendizorrotza Stadium (five wins, four draws). In foreign countries, however, the benefits fluctuate significantly. Four wins and one draw are faced with five defeats of the season. In five of the ten away games, betting on the under 2.5 was the right decision, most recently in three out of the last four. In addition, a total of five of the last seven La Liga matches of the Basques ended with a maximum of two goals. Although in the game between Getafe and Alaves, the odds to the sub 2.5 are very low, this tip still offers value.
An advantage before the game on Friday evening is certainly the much lower burden for the Abelardo team. In the Spanish royal cup, there was the already in December against Girona. While Getafe currently only contests English weeks, Alaves can focus on the league. With Rodrigo Ely and Jony two important players will be injured due to injury.
