Getafe vs Girona prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2024-11-09 17:30.
[p]Consistent bottom-half finishers in La Liga, Getafe look set for another season of anxiously looking over their shoulder after making a slow start to the season (W1, D7, L4). Starting this round just a point above the drop zone, Getafe will be looking to turn some of those draws into wins, as no side in this league has been involved in so many stalemates this season. [/p]
[p]The majority of them have come at home, where they’ve drawn five of their six league games this season (W1), which incredibly renders them as one of three La Liga sides yet to lose a home game this season. A four match unbeaten home league run against Girona would hint they’re good value to protect that record here, and with three successive such wins, maybe they could even break their drawing pattern. [/p]
[p]They ought to fancy their chances too against a Girona side who are coming off the back of a 4-0 thumping in midweek UEFA Champions League action against PSV. Last season’s surprise third-place finishers are nowhere near replicating those heady heights this season and start this round in the obscurity of mid-table, in part thanks to a perfectly split record across their last six league outings (W2, D2, L2). [/p]
[p]Tipping the balance in their favour likely won’t be easy for a side with just one away league win to their name this season (D2, L3). A trip to Getafe probably isn’t timely then as Girona haven’t enjoyed travelling to the Madrid region of late, losing on each of their last four La Liga visits, three of which concerningly came without reply.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: DjenĂ© has become accustomed to the referee’s notebook in recent times, as he’s been carded in three of Getafe’s last four home league games and has also been booked in three of the last four La Liga H2Hs. Watch out for a late Cristhian Stuani impact as his last eight club goals have arrived after the hour mark – he’s scored a career-high eight La Liga goals against Getafe. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Only one of Girona’s last eight away games in all competitions saw both teams score.[/p]
