Getafe are aiming to blank out the league table ahead of this fixture against Espanyol. Here's all you need to know before the game!

Insights:
  • Getafe have the fewest scored goals (4) in La Liga
  • Espanyol have yet to win a game away.

Getafe have less rest than Espanyol in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a La Liga game only three days ago. That game was an away game at Granada, so at least Getafe are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Getafe form and stats

0-1-4 (win-draw-lost) are the La Liga numbers at home for Getafe, who have the fewest scored goals (4) in La Liga, so far this season. All in all it has been a very rough period for Getafe who hasn’t won a league-game in their last eleven attempts. Their previous win was against Valencia, 78 days ago.

Getafe travelled for their previous game, a trip to Granada that ended 1-1. The attacker Enes Ünal was named "man of the match" for Getafe with the rating of 7.24/10. Ünal scored one goal and dribled past the opponent 3 of 3 times.

Ahead of that match, Getafe lost 0-3 at home to Celta de Vigo.

This is expected to be a close game, with Getafe perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Getafe as a small favourite), we find six games. Getafe has won three of these, drawn zero and lost three.

Getafe have scored 2 goals here in 5 league matches, a depressing statistic. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 8 goals have been conceded.

Espanyol form and stats

0 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses. That’s the product of Espanyol playing as the away team in the La Liga this season.

There were no winners in Espanyol's previous match, a La Liga home game that ended 1-1 vs Athletic Club (placed 8th). Raúl de Tomás, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 7.7. Tomás scored one goal, hit the woodwork once and hit two key passes.

A 2-2 draw at Elche's stadium before that.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found six similar matches played by Espanyol in our archives, and the results are: zero wins for Espanyol, two draws and four defeats.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Espanyol as they have only managed to score 4 times from 5 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Espanyol have seen the ball go into their own net 7 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Getafe won four games, three matches ended with a tie and Espanyol got three wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: three / seven
