Getafe vs Granada Live Stats & Betting Odds
Getafe Prediction – Can Getafe hold their own at home?
Although the hosts suffered a 2-0 defeat away at Sevilla last time out in the Spanish top flight, Getafe will be in reasonably confident mood this Thursday evening when they return to their Coliseum Alfonso Pérez despite the visit of high-flying Granada.
This is because Getafe have suffered just 1 defeat out of their first 5 home matches of this new La Liga campaign, which was an expected recent 2-0 loss to Barcelona, but otherwise, the hosts have produced some impressive displays and results to date.
Getafe started their campaign at home with back-to-back 1-1 draws with Athletic Bilbao and Deportivo Alaves, and then followed those points up with wins against Mallorca 4-2 and a 2-0 win against Leganes which has helped them into a relatively comfortable mid-table position.
In addition, Getafe have suffered just 2 defeats out of their last 15 matches at home in the Spanish top flight, so this extended solid run of results in their own backyard will give Thursday night’s hosts plenty of confidence of getting something out of this clash.
Granada Prediction – Can Granada go top of La Liga?
The surprise package in this season’s La Liga is undoubtedly 2nd placed Granada as the visitors sit behind only Barcelona and trail the Spanish giants by just 2 points heading into these midweek round of matches, and having won 3 of their last 4 matches overall, Granada will also be in confident mood.
Recent wins against Leganes, Osasuna and Real Betis, all by 1-0 margins were also all registered on home turf at their Estadio Nuevo Los Cármenes where they’ve won 4 of their first 5 home matches so far this campaign.
But Granada’s success so far this season hasn’t only been achieved at home – the visitors possess a very reasonable looking away record of 2-2-1 12/9 which includes wins on the road at Espanyol and Celta Vigo, along with points picked up at Villarreal in a 4-4 draw and a more conventional 1-1 draw at Real Valladolid.
The visitors did taste defeat on their travels for the first time this season though in their last trip which ended in a 4-2 defeat at Real Madrid, but 3 of their 5 away matches to date have seen both teams score.
Key-Facts – Getafe vs Granada
- Getafe have suffered just 2 defeats out of their last 15 matches at home in La Liga
- Granada have won 6 of their 10 matches to date in La Liga
- 5 of the last 6 meetings between these two teams have seen both teams score
Betting Tips Verdict
Both teams have been in pretty good nick lately and both will fancy their chances of grabbing the points here. The value lies in both teams scoring in what could end up a 1-1 draw.
