Almeria vs Getafe prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2024-04-26 14:15.
[p]AlmerĂa will have their inevitable relegation immediately confirmed with anything other than a win against Getafe, but current interim manager Pepe Mel has been tremendously impressed with their spirit and determination in such trying circumstances. They were heartbroken by a late red card and then a stoppage time winner from Villarreal’s Alexander Sørloth in a 2-1 home defeat last weekend, with Mel revealing afterwards that Villarreal manager Marcelino told him personally that AlmerĂa deserved to win the match.[/p]
[p]It appears that the team is becoming stronger as the pressure of avoiding relegation begins to wind down, though their loyal home fans still haven’t seen a league victory at Power Horse Stadium this season (D8, L8). It continues to be a tough slog for the embattled Rojiblancos, who in four of their last five La Liga games conceded in both halves despite grinding out two draws alongside their first win of the season at Las Palmas. [/p]
[p]Getafe continue to fall away from the European places after winning just one of their last eight La Liga games (D4, L3), and after last round’s 1-1 draw at home to Sociedad, they finished the round eight points behind seventh-placed Real Betis, who are now in a position to qualify for the play-off round of the UEFA Europa Conference League. The game was again soured by unsavoury chants directed at Mason Greenwood, drawing the ire of his head coach José Bordalás.[/p]
[p]Bordalás must quickly turn his attention back to overseeing Getafe’s first away win in this competition since December 2023 (D4, L3) if they are to have any hope of keeping in touch with the top seven. That’s where they have been especially disappointing in this competition, with their near-winless W1, D8, L7 away record including draws away to relegation candidates such as Granada (1-1), Celta Vigo (2-2), and scoreless stalemates when visiting both Mallorca and Vallecano. [/p]
[p]Players to watch: AlmerĂa defender CĂ©sar Montes will bring with him the experience of winning his only meeting against Getafe, while the visitors themselves have an unbeaten record this La Liga season when Greenwood scores (W3, D3), including the 2-1 win in the reverse H2H.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Only one of the last 12 La Liga games involving either club were decided by a 2+ goal margin. [/p]
