As Alavés welcomes Getafe to Mendizorrotza, the stakes are high, and recent trends point favorably towards the visitors. Getafe's away form, while not explosive, showcases resilience—drawing two of their last five while maintaining a solid xG balance. In fact, their defensive record has kept opponents to just 0.6 goals per match, indicating a sturdy backline. Comparatively, Alavés has struggled to find the net consistently, and their recent form suggests they could be in for a tough afternoon. With Getafe averaging a modest but effective 10.4 shots per game, they’re poised to capitalize on any defensive lapses from Alavés.
