On Saturday evening, Getafe and Girona will face off at the Coliseum. The visitors will be looking to keep their title hopes alive in La Liga.
Getafe need a lift to boost flagging European hopesThe home team’s chances of making a late break for the league’s top-six this season have been hindered by a four-game winless run in the Spanish top-flight. Last time out, they suffered a 1-0 defeat at Valencia.
The defeat leaves Getafe eight points adrift of the European spots in La Liga, and they now look unlikely to challenge for top six finish this season.
Jose Bordalas’ team has had an inconsistent recent home record, having recorded two wins, suffered two defeats, and picked up just one draw from their last five outings in La Liga.
Getafe's recent defensive record on home soil in La Liga is poor. They have conceded at least two goals in four of their last five matches in front of their own supporters.
Girona back on track against OsasunaThe Catalan team has recently experienced highly inconsistent form in La Liga, as their title challenge has faltered.
A 2-0 home win over Osasuna last time out in the Spanish top-flight was only their second in six La Liga outings. Michel’s team has at least stayed relatively prolific in front of goal of late, scoring at least two goals in three of their last four matches.
Despite a mixed recent run of form in La Liga, Girona are still outsiders for the Spanish top-flight title. However, they are seven points behind league leaders Real Madrid.
Girona has a poor recent away record in La Liga, winning just once in their last six matches on their travels. They have also suffered three straight defeats on their travels.
What am I backing?This is a hard game to judge. However, I do believe this will be a high-scoring encounter, so the bet I am backing is over 2.5 goals scored.
