Girona vs Getafe prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2025-02-13 20:00.
[p]It’s been a miserable time to be a Girona supporter lately, with last season’s third-place finishers winning just one of their last six games in all competitions (L5). Having already been knocked out of the Copa del Rey, this latest disappointing run has seen them exit the UEFA Champions League at the league phase as well as fall out of La Liga’s top six, making this clash with Getafe a vital one in the context of their season. [/p]
[p]Off the back of a comprehensive 3-0 defeat at Athletic Bilbao, even a return to home comforts doesn’t guarantee an upturn in form. The only top-half side to have lost more La Liga games on their own patch this term than Girona’s four are Real Sociedad (five), and considering that the Catalan club have scored more than one goal just once in their last seven outings, there’s been little for the Estadi Montilivi faithful to cheer of late. [/p]
[p]Getafe have hit something of a purple patch of late, with their five-match unbeaten league streak currently the third-best in the division behind Athletic Club and Rayo Vallecano. Netting the opener could hold the key to extending that impressive run given 15 of Getafe’s last 16 games in which there was an eventual winner saw the victors keep a clean sheet. [/p]
[p]Their focus will now be sharpened into turning this positive form into a surge up the table, especially considering they are only one point better off, but two places worse off, at this stage relative to the last top-flight campaign (2015/16) in which they suffered relegation! There’s every chance they could pull out another result here too, as Getafe’s three straight league clean sheets is their joint-best such run since February 2020. [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Miguel GutiĂ©rrez has recently returned from injury, and considering that no one has more assists for Girona than the left-back this season, they will be hoping that he can inspire an improvement in form. Mauro Arambarri has scored six goals in 21 league appearances for Getafe this term – as many as in his seven previous Spanish top-flight campaigns combined![/p]
[p]Hot stat: Getafe are yet to score in both halves of a La Liga away game this season. [/p]
