The Matchday 24 clash in La Liga between Girona and Getafe will take place on February 14 at the Montilivi Stadium. Girona vs. Getafe: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Girona
The Catalans suffered their fourth heavy defeat of the season. In the last round, the team was beaten by Athletic (0-3). This was their third loss in four recent La Liga matches (with a victory over Las Palmas – 2-1). Michel Sanchez's side has dropped to 8th place and is four points behind the European competition zone.
- At least three goals have been scored in 9 of Girona's last 10 league matches.
- The club's uncompromising home streak in La Liga stands at eight games (5 wins and 3 losses).
- The team did not win the second half in 6 of their last 8 La Liga matches (1 draw and 5 losses).
Predicted lineup for Girona (4-2-3-1)
Paulo Gazzaniga – Juanpe, Miguel Gutierrez, Ladislav Krejci, Alejandro Frances – Ivan Martin, Yangel Herrera – Donny van de Beek, Viktor Tsygankov, Bryan Gil – Abel Ruiz.
Getafe
The club from the Madrid suburb is unbeaten in five consecutive league matches. During this stretch, Pepe Bordalas' team drew twice at home and secured three away victories. Notably, Getafe has not conceded in their last three La Liga matches. This successful run has lifted the team to 14th place in the standings, five points clear of the relegation zone.
- At least one team failed to score in 10 of Getafe's last 12 league matches.
- No more than two goals have been scored in 16 of Getafe's last 18 league games.
- The number "1" appeared in the final scoreline in 6 of the team's last 8 La Liga matches.
Predicted lineup for Getafe (5-4-1)
David Soria – Diego Rico, Domingos Duarte, Juan Iglesias, Juan Bernat, Djene – Mauro Arambarri, Omar Alderete, Ramon Terrats, Chukwuma Uche – Juanmi.
Match Prediction: Girona vs. Getafe
The Catalans have not been as prolific this season as last. The team's attack averages less than 1.5 goals per match in the current league. I expect them to face scoring difficulties in this match as they host one of the best defensive lines in La Liga.
Getafe has conceded only 17 goals, with only Atletico boasting a better defense (15 goals). Meanwhile, Pepe Bordalas' side has scored just 18 goals, the second-lowest in the league after Valladolid. Furthermore, the club from the Madrid suburb has won their last three away La Liga matches. Girona will likely struggle against this opponent, who excels in a defensive setup, and will not allow the hosts to score more than one goal. Moreover, Getafe is likely to score just once or not at all.
My prediction – Total under 2.5 goals
Valladolid
Sevilla
Mallorca
Las Palmas
Real Betis
Real Sociedad
Barcelona
Rayo Vallecano
