Alaves vs Getafe Prediction 8 February 2026
🔊 Can the "City" side break their unfortunate streak? The opening fixture of Sunday's program in La Liga features a clash between Alavés and Getafe at the Mendizorroza. The congestion in the lower part of the league table is so intense that even though the "Glorious" have climbed to 10th place, their lead over the relegation zone is just 2 points. Therefore, for both the "Bean Destroyers" and the "City" team, every point is invaluable. Bookmakers give a slight edge to Alavés due to their better form and home advantage.
Head-to-Head
📊 Let's note that the clubs have struggled to establish dominance over the last 10 matches: one victory for the "Glorious," six draws, and three wins for the "Citizens." Also consider the average scoring rate for each side over this same period: Alaves at 0.5 and Getafe at 0.8. In the first round of the current championship, the teams played to a 1-1 draw at the "Coliseum Alfonso Perez."
Head-to-head statistics Alaves - Getafe
Deportivo Alaves Team Overview
🔵 The "Glorious" are gradually hitting their stride, securing victories in two consecutive rounds. Currently, the club from Vitoria-Gasteiz has amassed 25 points from 22 matches. It's worth noting that Alaves are quite formidable at home, collecting 18 points from 11 games. Let's also consider the average performance stats of the "Bean Destroyers"-scoring 0.91 goals per game while conceding 1.23. Notably, Eduardo Coudet's side have conceded in each of their last seven La Liga fixtures.
⚪ During the week, Alaves suffered a cup defeat to Real Sociedad (2-3). Despite the setback, they occasionally looked the better side and even led twice. Toni Martinez's missed penalty proved to be a turning point, as it gave the "Royals" the confidence to turn the match around. In their last La Liga outing, the "Bean Destroyers" secured an away win against Espanyol (2-1). Argentine forward Lucas Boye deserves a special mention with a tally of 5 goals and 1 assist in 16 league appearances.

Getafe Team Overview
🔵 Getafe have been unable to secure a victory in regulation time across their last 10 matches in all competitions. This disheartening streak has left the team from the eponymous city languishing in 17th place on the league table. Their average goals scored and conceded are far from ideal, standing at 0.73 and 1.23, respectively. Equally concerning is their away form, where they've managed to collect just 11 points from 11 games, ranking them 12th in the league. The tactical adjustments José Bordalás might deploy to reverse this trend will be something to watch in the upcoming fixtures.
📌 Last weekend, the "City" side couldn't overcome Celta Vigo (0-0) at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez. Bordalás's squad stuck to their usual game plan-keeping the match tight and preventing the "Celts" from increasing the pace. They executed this strategy to perfection, as evidenced by the expected goals ratio: 0.43 to 0.18 in favor of Getafe. However, scoring remains a perennial issue for the team, as they have failed to score more than once in a game across their last nine matches in all competitions.

Latest news
Deportivo Alaves
📰 One of the standout transfers for Alavés in the recent window was the acquisition of Ángel Pérez from Huesca for €1 million. At his unveiling, the Spaniard spoke with journalists: "Thank you for the trust you've placed in me. I want to contribute in many ways. You'll never see a lack of effort from me; I'm here to play wherever the coach needs me. I'm not here to overshadow or diminish anyone's name. I have great respect and appreciation for their careers, but I'll make my own name." Alavés' sporting director Sergio Fernández highlighted the player's immediate commitment to the project during his presentation. "From the first moment, you've shown us so much enthusiasm, desire, and motivation that made it clear you're the right person. You'll make us enjoy the game," he said.
❌ Among the unavailable players for Alavés are Mariano Díaz (coach's decision), Ville Koski (leg injury), and Carlos Protesoni (leg injury).
Getafe
📰 In recent years, Getafe have become synonymous with the name José Bordalás. Despite being the architect of modern anti-football and a gladiatorial style of play, the Spanish tactician is highly respected. Crystal Palace, who are likely to part ways with Oliver Glasner at the end of the season, have shown interest in him. The Eagles were quite active in the final days of the transfer window. Notably, they secured a loan deal for one of Sparta Prague's key players, Veljko Birmančević. The Serbian forward has tallied 5 goals and 2 assists in 16 matches this season. Whether he can become a crucial figure in their attack remains to be seen as the campaign progresses.
❌ Getafe's injury list includes Davinchi (knee injury), Abu Kamara (leg injury), and Borja Mayoral (knee injury).
⚽ Goal Prediction
It's worth noting that both clubs tend to keep the game tight. A slow pace and a high number of aerial duels suit the styles of both "The Glorious" and "The Cityzens". This season, Alavés have averaged 0.9 goals per game compared to their opponents' 0.7. In the last five head-to-head encounters, there have been no more than two goals scored in total. We suggest considering a bet on total goals under 2.
🚩 Corner Prediction
The head-to-head matches between these teams typically feature a low number of corner kicks, averaging around 6.7 per game. Additionally, in 9 out of the last 10 meetings, there were no more than 10 corners. Given the expected slow tempo of the match, our editorial team does not foresee a goal fest. We recommend betting on total corners under 9.5.
Editorial Prediction
In crafting a key bet, it's crucial to consider the teams' performance in home and away games. Alaves are quite productive at Mendizorroza, whereas the Cityzens struggle to secure points on the road. It's also important to note that Eduardo Coudet's side are in much better form than the Dark Blues. We predict a final score of 1-0, with the key bet being Alaves to win with a handicap (0).
