Getafe vs Basel Predictions

Getafe won 2-0 at home against Leganes at the weekend and Basel secured a 3-1 victory in their own backyard against Thun, so the confidence in both camps is bound to be high heading into Thursday’s clash.

All of the stats suggest that we will see goals being scored at both ends of the pitch this Thursday and we have backed Getafe to claim a 2-1 win in front of their own fans.

These two teams have never met before but their performances in recent weeks suggest that Thursday’s clash will be competitive, as both teams scored in four of Getafe’s and three of Basel’s last six matches, while over 2.5 goals were produced in four of Getafe’s and four of Basel’s last six matches, so you can see why we’ve backed a final scoreline of 2-1 this Thursday.

The hosts have only failed to score in one of their last six matches, as have their guests, providing even more reason to back both teams to score this Thursday. Getafe have won three of their last six matches, two of which were at home, and Basel have failed to win any of their last three away games, which is why we’re backing a home win for the Spanish club.

Getafe have a 100% record in the Europa League this season after they secured back to back wins against Krasnodar and Trabzonspor, while Basel could only draw with the Turkish club but easily beat Krasnodar in their opening two matches. With neither side losing in Group C so far we are expecting a close and competitive ninety minutes but Getafe have only lost at home to Barcelona in recent matches and look very strong in their own backyard, which is why we have backed the Spanish club to pinch a 2-1 win against Basel.

We’re confident that both teams will score in Thursday’s match and have predicted a final scoreline of 2-1 in favour of the hosts. Getafe have won four of their last six matches, only losing once during that period against Barcelona, while Basel have failed to win any of their last three away games. We’re predicting a tight and tense match between two very competitive teams that like to play attacking football but believe the home advantage will see Getafe claim all three points.
