Getafe vs Espanyol Predictions

• Getafe have kept just one clean sheet in the last seven attempts in the league
• Nine of Espanyol’s last 11 league outings have seen both teams score
• Getafe have netted in five of their last six home league fixtures

Getafe desperate for points

This is a crunch clash in the relegation battle, with a 2-0 defeat to Real Madrid last time out meaning Getafe are above Espanyol and outside the relegation zone only on goal difference.

José Bordalás’ side have real concerns over their defeats, given they have kept only one clean sheet in their last seven attempts in the league, and even that came in a 2-0 success against bottom club Real Valladolid.

They have, however, only failed to score in one of their last six home fixtures in La Liga, three of which have seen both teams score courtesy of a 1-1 draw.

Espanyol hoping to move out of the bottom three

That gives some hope to opponents Espanyol, who will move out of the bottom three if they can secure a first away league victory of the season.

Given they have lost six of the previous seven, the omens are not good, nor is the fact that they have only kept one clean sheet in the last 15 attempts on the road in La Liga.

12 of those game have seen both teams score, as have nine of their last 11 fixtures in the Spanish top flight.

I predict that both teams will score in this game, with 1-1 my correct score prediction.
