Match Prediction: Alaves vs. Getafe
It is unlikely that the upcoming match will feature high-scoring football. In Alaves' last five home games in La Liga, no more than two goals were scored. The Basques have also conceded more than one goal in only two matches this season. Furthermore, Getafe's matches this season have been the lowest-scoring in La Liga, averaging 1.55 goals per game. Additionally, the club from the Madrid suburbs boasts the second-best defense in La Liga, with only Atletico conceding fewer goals.
I give a slight edge to the hosts. Alaves have suffered only three defeats in their last 14 home league matches (6 wins and 5 draws). While Getafe has won their last two away games, they had not won away in La Liga for ten matches before that (2 draws and 8 losses). It's also worth noting that the Basques have not lost to this opponent in their last six home meetings in La Liga (2 wins and 4 draws).
My prediction – 1X and Total under 2.5 goals
