Getafe vs FK Krasnodar Predictions

• Getafe currently sit second in Group C, holding the advantage over their opponents due to a superior goal difference.
• Krasnodar have won their last three games after losing their opening two matches and this has thrust them into contention to qualify.
• All of Getafe’s five games in the Europa League this season have been settled by a single goal.
• Krasnodar have concede eight goals in five matches in the Europa League.

Will home advantage be enough for Getafe?

Getafe come into the game knowing that a draw would be enough to see them qualify for the Round of 32 but trying to play for the point would be a dangerous game. They have home advantage and will look to make Coliseum Alfonso Pérez a cauldron of noise.

The Spanish side has seen their games in this season’s Europa League been tight affairs with both their wins and losses only being by one goal as they struggle to assert dominance without being turned over by any teams so far.

Krasnodar have 90 minutes with all to play for

The Russians didn’t look likely to qualify after two games in Group C following a 5-0 loss to Basel and a 2-1 loss to Getafe in the reverse of this fixture but three wins since then have put them in a great position to reach the final 32.

Since those defeats, Krasnodar have averaged two goals a game and looked in really good shape conceding just one goal. Momentum is on the visitors side but will they have enough to find the win they need?

Both teams will be confident but who qualifies?

We see this being a really open game as Krasnodar go all out to try and find the win they need to qualify from the group and this should see Getafe getting plenty of chances on the break. We’re confident that both teams will find the net and are predicting that outcome alongside the 2.5 goal line being beaten.

There should be plenty of goals in this contest as the team qualifying swings back and forth and we think it’s too tricky to pick the two teams apart. A 2-2 draw seems a likely outcome as both sides do all they can to reach the next round.
