- Competition: La Liga

- Venue: Mendizorroza
In a crucial La Liga clash, Getafe heads to Mendizorroza seeking vital points to distance themselves from the relegation battle. The visitors aim to capitalize on their recent defensive stability against a struggling Alaves side.
Alaves’ journey in La Liga has taken an unexpected turn this season. Despite their impressive top-half finish last year, El Glorioso now finds themselves fighting for survival in the bottom three. Eduardo Coudet’s squad sits just two points from safety, making this weekend’s fixture particularly significant for their survival hopes.
Team Form and Recent Performances
Getafe’s campaign has faced its challenges, particularly in the attacking department following Mason Greenwood’s departure to Marseille. Despite being the league’s lowest-scoring team, José Bordalás Jiménez’s side has maintained a comfortable four-position cushion above the relegation zone, largely thanks to their defensive resilience.
The recent Copa del Rey quarter-final against Atletico Madrid saw Getafe’s six-match unbeaten streak end with a 5-0 defeat. However, their league form tells a different story, with remarkable defensive statistics:
- Less than one goal conceded in seven consecutive matches
- Only two games exceeding two total goals
- Consistent defensive organization despite attacking limitations
Match Analysis and Prediction
Alaves has shown defensive improvement in 2025, demonstrating remarkable stability at the back. Their recent record includes:
- Under one goal conceded in all four matches this year
- Three out of four games featuring less than two total goals
- Strong home defensive record despite offensive struggles
The tactical approach of both teams suggests a tight, low-scoring encounter. Given both sides’ recent defensive performances and scoring patterns, expect a closely contested match with limited goalscoring opportunities.
- Key Prediction: Under 2.5 goals
- Expected Score: Alaves 1-1 Getafe
