Girona
The Catalans suffered their fourth heavy defeat of the season. In the last round, the team was beaten by Athletic (0-3). This was their third loss in the last four La Liga matches (with a win against Las Palmas – 2-1). Michel Sanchez's side has dropped to 8th place and is four points behind the European competition zone.
- At least three goals have been scored in 9 of Girona's last 10 league games.
- The club's uncompromising home streak in La Liga stands at eight matches (5 wins and 3 losses).
- The team has not won the second half in 6 of their last 8 matches in La Liga (1 draw and 5 losses).
Predicted lineup for Girona (4-2-3-1)
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.
- At least one team failed to score in 10 of Getafe's last 12 La Liga matches.
- No more than two goals have been scored in 16 of Getafe's last 18 league games.

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
