GRANADA v GETAFE – Pick: 2 AH+0.5 – 21 December 2014

Getafe good for at least a point

Football – Spain – La Liga

Sunday 21st December 2014 – Kickoff: 1600hrs

Third from bottom club Granada will be looking to break an unenviable eleven-match run without a win when they host bottom half dwellers Getafe on Sunday afternoon in La Liga.

Granada’s last (and only home win this season) came towards the end of August in a 2-1 win over Deportivo la Coruna but since then they’ve managed just one further victory in the Spanish top flight which was a rather unlikely 1-0 win at Athletic Bilbao from their next fourteen league matches.

Their home record has been littered with draws and defeats, and currently stands at  1-3-3  3/8 with the obvious problem being their lack of goals – in fact they have failed to score in five of their seven home matches to date and this could again be a factor in today’s clash with Getafe.

 

Onto the visitors Getafe, and they have also gone a few matches without a win in La Liga having now gone five without all three points, although three of these matchs have ended in draws. Defeats against Villarreal and Athletic Bilbao were slightly tempered by draws with Elche and Levante, but the point at home with Barcelona in last weekend’s 0-0 draw will have definitely given them a lift for today’s visit to Granada.

Despite some recent mixed results away from home where Getafe suffered defeats at Espanyol and Villarreal, they did manage wins on the road at Real Sociedad and Deportivo la Coruna along with a point at Levante, so I reckon they’re worth a shout at getting something at Granada this afternoon.

Getafe’s away record stands at  2-1-4  7/12 and they’ve failed to score just twice on their travels so far this season.

 

Whilst Granada find it difficult to score goals, I’ll back Getafe to perhaps grind out a point here this afternoon in what could be a dull 0-0 or even a 1-0 win for the visitors, but take the handicap on offer.
