Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
As Alavés prepares to host Getafe, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Getafe’s recent away form shows promise, with a record of 2-1-2 in their last five outings. While both teams have struggled for goals, averaging just 0.8 xG in recent matches, Getafe's defensive solidity stands out. They've managed to restrict opponents to a mere 0.6 goals during that stretch, showcasing their tactical discipline. Moreover, Getafe's ability to create opportunities, averaging 10.4 shots per game, suggests they are due for a breakout performance. Alavés, on the other hand, has been inconsistent at home.
