This is the 20th round of the Spanish division and also the only match scheduled for today (Friday). The Host, Getafe will be facing Alaves today at the Alfonso Pérez Coliseum Stadium, in what seems to be the second match to be played between this two this season. The last time both teams met was on 27-09-2018, with the game ending in a 1-1 draw. The guest is considered the slight favorite as they have managed to dominate their opponent, Getafe, in terms of results, in recent years. Both teams had played nine matches between them so far, with Alaves winning four times, drawing three and with just two defeats.

GETAFE

Getafe is currently holding the sixth spot in the Spanish division standings having managed to accumulate 28 points so far since the start of the 2018/19 campaign. The Azulones are coming to this game with a very positive journey, after securing 7 league wins, 7 draws and 5 losses, in which place them in a rather comfortable zone for the Europa league access next season. Regarding the moment, the team is in a very positive phase, with only one defeat since the beginning of November, against the Catalan Giant, Barcelona. They are a team with one of the best defense this season, with 16 goals conceded so far in the league. In their previous Liga match, they won 1-2 away from home against the Yellow Submarine, Villarreal.

ALAVES

The Visitors, Alaves are currently in the 5th position with 32 points, and also they are four points adrift their opponent, Getafe who are sitting behind them on the league standings with 28 points. The El Glorioso are also part of the team that is performing surprisingly well this season, considering the fact that they are a team who are usually used to being in the middle of the table, but now, they are having a good season after having managed to record 9 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses, so far this season. The El Glorioso is a true team that reflects what a coach wants on the pitch and that, despite not being the most striking at the stylistic level, they are a team that executes their plans perfectly well. As a visitor, Alaves has quite an interesting numbers of 10 matches played in which they have won five, tied one and lost five for a total of 13 points.

PRE-MATCH FACT

  • Alaves are on a 3 match unbeaten run against the Deep blues at present.
  • Alaves had won 3 and lost only once in the last 5 head to head matches against Getafe in all competitions.
  • Less than 2.5 goals were scored in 3 of those 5 matches in all competitions.

PREDICTION

This is a match between two of the most surprising team in La Liga so far this season. Taking into account what has been the journey between both Getafe and Alavés in the league, in which both teams have interesting marks in defense, I expect to see a very tough game here, no doubts so I think we will have an under 2.5 goals, and also, a match where it will be difficult for both teams to score.
