Match Analysis

Espanyol comes into this match with a commendable recent form, having secured two consecutive away victories against Celta and Vallecano, with clean sheets in both matches. Their last outing at home resulted in a 1-1 draw against Atlético Madrid. Espanyol's recent performances showcase a solid defensive setup, reflected by their average of 0.8 goals conceded in the last five games. Despite their solidity at the back, their offensive output has been modest, with an average of 1.2 goals scored per game. On the other hand, Getafe's recent performances have been a mixed bag, with a notable away victory over Valladolid, where they netted four goals without reply. However, their home form has been less impressive, suffering defeats to both Las Palmas and Villarreal. Getafe's attack has been more productive than Espanyol's, averaging 1.8 goals per game in their last five matches. Defensively, they've shown resilience, conceding just 0.6 goals on average over the same period.

Final Prediction

Getafe's higher probability of winning stems from their better recent goal-scoring form and league standing advantage. Their ability to score multiple goals, particularly in games like the one against Valladolid, gives them an edge over Espanyol. A key factor to watch in this game will be Getafe's attacking prowess, which could be decisive if Espanyol cannot replicate their recent defensive performances.
