Getafe has been playing all or nothing type of football this season, which their drawless record is also proving. They’ve been merciless at home, suffering their only defeats to Barcelona in the first match and La Coruna in the last one, while they’ve beaten teams like Valencia, Osasuna, Bilbao and Espanyol in the Cup. Getafe will most likely stay in the league this season, seeking for the salvation points at home mostly. They will also be a tough rival on the road, as they’ll be playing without pressure. That also happened last week, when they easily defeated the hosting team Espanyol by 2:0. The optimism is at a very high level after that great win and surviving in the cup as well.
Big war to stay in the elite
There’s no dilemma Xerez is one of the biggest relegation candidates. They’ve been trying to make up for everything bad that happened on the road by playing good at home, winning 5 points in front of their fans, which is insufficient since they only have 2 points away with no goals scored, conceding 8 at the same time, so we really can’t give them many chances against Getafe today. They will be playing very closed football as always, attempting to hold onto a 0:0 as that’s the only way they can win points and they’re aware of it too.
Home pitch will prevail
Getafe surely possesses the more quality playing squad than the visitors, but the key factor at this match could be the home field, where Getafe has been doing quite well. Besides, Xerez can’t pull themselves together away from home, and when added the fact they haven’t scored a single time on the road, I wouldn’t give them any chances here. A home win is very clear to me here.
