Paulo Gazzaniga – Juanpe, Miguel Gutierrez, Ladislav Krejci, Alejandro Frances – Ivan Martin, Yangel Herrera – Donny van de Beek, Viktor Tsygankov, Bryan Gil – Abel Ruiz.
Getafe
The club from the Madrid suburbs is unbeaten in five consecutive league matches. During this run, Pepe Bordalas' side has drawn twice at home and claimed three away victories. It's also worth noting that Getafe has not conceded in their last three La Liga matches. Thanks to this successful series, the team has climbed to 14th place in the standings and is five points clear of the relegation zone.

Girona vs. Getafe: Match Prediction
The Catalans are not as prolific this season as they were last year. The team's attack averages no more than 1.5 goals per match in the current championship. I expect them to struggle in this encounter as well, especially against one of the best defenses in La Liga.
Getafe has conceded only 17 goals. Only Atletico has a better defense in La Liga (15 goals). Meanwhile, Pepe Bordalas' side has scored just 18 goals, the second-lowest tally in the league after Valladolid. It's also worth noting that the club from the Madrid suburbs has won their last three away matches in La Liga. Girona is likely to face significant challenges against this opponent, who excels at playing defensively and will not allow the hosts to score more than one goal. Getafe is also likely to score just once or not at all.
My prediction: Total under 2.5 goals
