Getafe vs Girona Prediction & Betting Tips (16 March)

Getafe, 12th overall, almost validated its stay in La Liga with 35 points on the clock and a 13-point lead over the relegation zone. José Bordalas' team is 5-7 points short of achieving this goal. The last 4 days of the championship were very complicated for Borja Mayoral's partners who conceded 9 goals and only took 2 points out of the 12 distributed. Thus, Getafe took 1 point from Villarreal 1-1, lost heavily to Barcelona 4-0, shared the points with Las Palmas 3-3 at home and lost to Valencia 1-0 on March 9. Girona, runner-up to Real Madrid and 2nd best attack with 59 goals in La Liga, should benefit.

Large winner in the first leg 3-0 thanks in particular to a double from Stuani, the Girona club, 7 points behind the Madrid club, wants to win to stay in the title race. Dovbyk's 14-goal teammates took 6 points from their last 4 matches against Rayo Vallecano 3-0 and Osasuna 2-0 last weekend, losing at Bilbao 3-2 and Mallorca 1-0 . Girona have scored 7 goals in their last 4 La Liga outings.

The Getafe coach will therefore be forced to compose his major eleven without the 2nd top scorer in the championship and former Real Madrid resident, Mayoral (15 goals), who is severely injured and who will not play again this season. Note the withdrawal recorded for the season of midfielder Mauro Arambarri. For the rest, the group will probably be complete with in particular the young English talent Greenwood (on loan for the season from Man United), author of great feats for his comeback on the field (6 goals, 5 assists). Opposite, the coach Michel will have to do without the injured Artero, Joel Roca and Toni Villa (cruciate ligament rehabilitation) while the important midfielder Yangel Herrera (4 goals in the league) has relapsed physically and will probably be OUT for this trip to the Madrid suburbs .

Note also the injury to replacement Borja Garcia and the uncertainty surrounding the participation of Ukrainian international Tsygankov (6 goals, 4 assists in La Liga). His compatriot, Dovbyk (14 goals in the league) will be there, like future Man City player Savio (8 goals, 8 goals) and veteran Stuani (7 goals, 2 assists).
