Getafe hosts Malaga in an early Sunday afternoon. Getafe really needs points here so it will be a tense match.
With one of the worst squads in La Liga (maybe the worst if you make a careful roster analysis), Getafe lost 4 of the first 5 matches but have 3 points after a win vs. Almeria in second round. With no money for transfers or wages, Getafe must put huge effort into these home games to get some points and fight with chances to avoid relegation. Hosts scored only 2 goals so far but did not play too good defensive football either … conceding 10 goals (2 per match). Lacen is the only missing player for Getafe today (and of course Pedro Leon).
Malaga comes after a very good home draw with Barcelona …. a 0-0 result in which Malaga denied Barcelona almost any chances or shots on goal and it was a correct score for what happened on the pitch. It was the 3rd consecutive draw for Malaga who sits on the 10th place in La Liga and that is a position that is correct for their abilities. Only unavailable player for Malaga is Tissone.
This is a very simple bet in my opinion with a straightforward analysis. Getafe is an inferior team and in poor form but they will make some huge efforts to take points today at home … they will be desperate not to lose and need at least one point badly! Malaga is not a spectacular team either, they play rather defensive like Getafe … and are very prone to draws. Can’t see any team having what it takes to get the win so a draw looks very possible so that will be my tip. I see defensive football from both teams … G and maybe even a 0-0 draw. Correct score prediction: Getafe – Malaga 0-0.
