Girona: Declining Form and Drop in Standings
Girona had a historic success last season, finishing third in La Liga, but they have struggled to maintain the same level of performance this year. They are currently in eighth place with 31 points, four points behind sixth-placed Rayo Vallecano.
Their recent form is concerning—three losses and only one win in their last four league matches. They have particularly struggled in away games, suffering six defeats already. Their most recent match ended in a 3-0 loss against Athletic Bilbao, further exposing their weaknesses.
While their defense is not the biggest issue, their offensive output has been disappointing. Girona has scored only 10 goals in their last eight league matches, a stark contrast to their attacking efficiency last season. However, they have won two of their last three encounters against Getafe, including a narrow 1-0 victory earlier this season.
At home, they have a positive record, and a win against Getafe would improve their chances of finishing in the top six.
Getafe: Defensive Stability but Attacking Struggles
Getafe comes into this match in excellent form, with three wins and two draws in their last five league games. This strong run has lifted them to 14th place with 26 points, five points above the relegation zone but just four behind seventh-placed Real Sociedad.
The key to Getafe’s success this season has been their defense—they have conceded only 17 goals in 23 matches, the second-best defensive record in the league, behind only Atlético Madrid. However, their attacking output remains a major issue, with just 18 goals scored, making them one of the least efficient teams in La Liga.
Despite their scoring struggles, Getafe has improved on the road, netting six goals in their last three away matches and winning all three (against Las Palmas, Real Sociedad, and Alavés). Their latest victory was a 1-0 win over Alavés, secured by an Arambarri penalty.
Coach José Bordalás has no major squad issues, and Borja Mayoral, returning from injury, might be given a chance in the starting lineup.
Betting Suggestions
✅ Both teams NOT to score (NG) – Girona struggles with scoring, while Getafe plays defensively and often sees low-scoring matches.
✅ Under 2.5 goals in the match – Getafe has a solid defense, and Girona is not as effective in attack as last season. A tight match with few chances is expected.
✅ X2 – Getafe to win or draw – Although Girona is playing at home, Getafe is in great form and has improved in away matches. This bet has good value considering both teams’ current momentum.
✅ Getafe to score under 1.5 goals – Getafe has one of the weakest attacks in the league but might score a goal from a set piece or counterattack.
Girona is the favorite, but given their recent form and Getafe’s defensive strength, the visitors could take at least a point. A tactical and disciplined match with few goals is expected.
