Getafe vs Alaves Prediction and Betting Tips | August 28th 2023
The Spanish La Liga returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Getafe and Alaves go head-to-head at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez on Monday.
With each of their last six meetings since August 2019 ending in stalemates, both sides will head into this one looking to get one over the other.
Getafe were denied their first win of the season as they suffered a 3-0 thrashing against Girona at the Estadi Montilivi last Sunday.
Prior to that, José Bordalas’ men played out a goalless draw against Barcelona in the La Liga curtain-raiser on August 13 after a solid pre-season campaign, where they picked up four wins in their six friendly matches.
Getafe now return home, where they are unbeaten in their last four league matches, claiming eight points from a possible 12 since a 2-1 loss against Almeria on April 26.
Alaves, on the other hand, got their 2023-24 campaign up and running in style as they picked up a resounding 4-1 win over Sevilla last Monday.
This followed a 1-0 defeat against Cadiz in the league opener on August 14, when Fede San Emeterio netted in the seventh minute to give the Yellow Submarine an opening-day victory.
While Luis Garcia’s side will be looking to build on the win over Sevilla, Monday’s game sees them journey to the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez, where they have failed to win their last five visits, losing twice and claiming three draws since a 1-0 victory in October 2017.
