In the eighth round of La Liga, Getafe will face Alavés. Here’s the match prediction from the experts at Sportsmacro.
Getafe
Getafe has struggled at the start of the season, with 4 draws and 3 defeats, leaving them second from the bottom in the standings. However, it’s not all bleak; the team averages less than a goal conceded per game, indicating potential for improvement. They need to focus on their attack, as scoring just three goals in seven matches is insufficient.
In their last match, they lost 0-1 to Barcelona, with the only goal resulting from a significant error by the goalkeeper. Getafe desperately needs a win, and while their upcoming opponent is beatable, it will certainly be a challenge.
Alaves
Alavés has had a promising start to the championship, with three wins, three defeats, and one draw, placing them eighth in the standings. For a team of their caliber, a mid-table position would be a solid result, especially as they aim to avoid a relegation battle.
