Alaves vs Getafe Prediction & Betting Tips (18 May)

Back in La Liga this year after a short stint at the lower level, Deportivo Alaves has completely fulfilled its objectives by taking a very comfortable lead with the relegation zone. 11th at the start of this 37th day with a clear lead of 10 points on the first relegation, the Basques will therefore be able to repeat a 2nd consecutive season in the elite. The Babazorros had also won 3 great victories in a row against Atlético 2-0, Celta Vigo 2-0 and Valencia 0-1 before taking a good point against Girona 2-2. But this week, they suffered a real correction from the champion, Real Madrid 5-0.

Getafe, for its part, is one of the great satisfactions of this championship. Often confined to having to maintain in previous seasons, the club from the suburbs of Madrid this time did not need to worry and it finds itself, before the last 2 days, at a very good 10th position in the ranking, with a small point lead over his opponent of the day. However, since their last success against the red lantern Almeria 1-3, the Azulones have relaxed their efforts a little and they have just had 3 defeats in a row against Bilbao 0-2, Cadiz 1-0 and Atlético Madrid, Wednesday evening 0-3.

At Alaves, central defender Sedlar (ruptured cruciate ligaments) could be the only element of this team to have to forfeit this poster. Otherwise, Deportivo could therefore count on all of its strengths. Among them, we find the young prospect Samu Omorodion who, at 20 years old, has scored 8 times in La Liga this season. The more experienced Rioja is also doing great things this year with 5 goals and 4 assists to his credit this year. The visitors will travel without their top scorer Mayoral.

Author of 15 pawns in 27 appearances, he was seriously injured several weeks ago and his return is not expected for a while yet. Uruguayan midfielder Mauro Arambarri (cruciate ligaments) and defender Iglesias (recently operated on a shoulder) will not make the trip to the Basque Country either, nor will important defender Duarte. Back at a good level this year, Mason Greenwood displays interesting statistics with 8 goals and 6 assists decisive in La Liga.
