The visiting Getafe side should be favourites in this visit to Deportivo Alavés, as the away team holds a 18 point advantage from their 35 league games this season.
Alavés have less rest than Getafe in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a La Liga game only three days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Real Madrid.
Relegation threatens Alavés who should definitely be looking for some points here. Getafe are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.
Deportivo Alavés form and stats

Roberto Jiménez had a busy but productive day in the Real Madrid match. Despite making seven saves the loss could not be prevented.
There will be little rest for Alavés after this match as they are travelling to Real Betis for a La Liga game in only three days.
