Notably, in the current championship, the club was among the bottom three only in the first round. They are two points behind the safe 17th place.

Getafe
The club from the suburbs of Madrid has kept a clean sheet in two consecutive La Liga matches for the second time this season. They first sensationally defeated Real Sociedad 3-0 away and then drew 0-0 with Sevilla at home. Getafe is unbeaten in four consecutive league matches (2 wins and 2 draws).

Match Prediction: Alaves vs. Getafe
It's unlikely that the upcoming match will be high-scoring. In Alaves' last five home games in La Liga, no more than two goals have been scored. Additionally, the Basques have conceded more than one goal in only two matches this season. Moreover, Getafe's games this season have been the least productive in La Liga, with an average of 1.55 goals scored. It's also worth noting that the club from the Madrid suburbs has the second-best defense in La Liga, conceding fewer goals than only Atletico.
I give a slight edge to the hosts. Alaves has suffered only three defeats in their last 14 home league matches (6 wins and 5 draws). While Getafe has won their last two away games, they had not won in 10 previous away league matches (2 draws and 8 losses). Additionally, the Basques have not lost to this opponent in their last six home encounters in La Liga (2 wins and 4 draws).
My prediction – 1X and Total under 2.5 goals
