Getafe manager J. González Martín del Campo looking for three points in Elche showdown

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Getafe form and stats

The home fans saw their team lose the first La Liga game of the season here at Coliseum Alfonso Pérez. Last season these fans witnessed 6 wins, 6 draws and 7 losses from Getafe's 19 home games. Getafe has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager J. González Martín del Campo and the players.

The fans are hoping that Getafe will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the La Liga game against Barcelona (placed 4th). Midfielder Mauro Arambarri was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.63 (out of ten) in that game. Arambarri dribled passed the opponent 4 of 4 times.

Preceding that match was the home game against Sevilla that was lost 0-1.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Getafe have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 17 games) they have won six times, drawn seven and lost four.

At Coliseum Alfonso Pérez, Getafe has the goal stats of 0-1 (for/against) from 1 league fixture.

Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Atlético Madrid's place.
