Getafe vs Espanyol Prediction & Betting Tips (9 December)

After 5 days of the championship without a victory, Getafe managed to win a match after the break against probably the weakest team in the elite: Real Valladolid 2-0. But last Sunday, traveling to the Bernabéu, the Azulones conceded the 3 points by taking 2 goals in the first period 2-0, but the score could have been saltier. Just first relegated at the start of this day, the locals have only lost one small match this season at home, during the visit of Girona before the international break in November 0-1. Opposite, the formation of Espanyol Barcelona is evolving with a promoted label and will try to stay in the elite in order not to take the elevator again. Indeed, as a reminder, the Catalans fell two years ago and rose again within the elite just as early.

After having stopped a hemorrhage of 4 consecutive defeats in the league by beating Celta Vigo last weekend 3-1, the Pericos fell last Tuesday in the 1/32 final of the Copa del Rey against the modest formation of Barbastro 2-0, club playing in the 3rd Spanish division... 

Unhappy when he hit the post with a nice pivoting shot during the 2nd act against Real Madrid, midfielder Uché felt discomfort at that moment and had to leave his partners after he had just returned. The latter seems to be suffering from a thigh injury and he could stay with the medical staff this evening. He thus joins the major offensive asset of this El Geta formation, Mayoral (15 pawns last year), injured, like Carles Alena. Suspended for the derby against Real, the important Djené will a priori be back on the scoresheet or even in the major eleven.

Same case for the Rennes striker Yildirim (only 1 goal this season in the league). On the other side of the median, the defender Catala, and the substitutes Calero and Gragera are out (injured) while the returning cruciate ligaments, Exposito, could get his first minutes of the season this evening. Author of his very first goal in La Liga during the victory against Celta Vigo, Cardona (AS Saint-Étienne player last year) will be on the scoresheet again, as will the crack Javi Puado (5 goals in La Liga), preserved last Tuesday in the Copa del Rey.
