Getafe vs Girona Prediction & Betting Tips - LaLiga

Prediction published on 16/03/2024, 04:46  by Sridhar in LaLiga Predictions

Getafe host Girona this weekend with the aim of upsetting the visitors, who have been indifferent in recent matches. The hosts are 12th with 35 points, while the visitors are second with 62 points after 28 matches each. Getafe are comfortably above the relegation zone and could target moving into the top half with a win. They are coming off a 1-0 loss to Valencia, which extended their winless run to four matches. This sequence has seen them lose 4-0 to Barcelona, a top-three side much like Girona. Getafe haven’t kept a clean sheet in seven league matches, and that’s unlikely to change if the free-scoring visitors have their way. Playing at home could give Getafe a much-needed boost, as they have won five of their last eight league matches at this venue.

Girona have stemmed their recent downfall, but they are seven points behind leaders Real Madrid and one above Barcelona. A gritty 2-0 win over Osasuna last time out was their second victory in three matches, a sign of things getting back to normal. They still remain one of the most attacking units in La Liga, as Girona’s tally of 59 goals is second only to Real Madrid. They won the reverse fixture 3-0, which came on matchday two and started a six-game winning sequence. Girona will hope this match will prove to be another positive omen, although they need to change their away form. Girona have lost four of their last five matches in all competitions, including three in a row in the league. Two of those matches were against top-five sides, but the visitors will be guarded in their approach to picking up full points on this trip.
