Girona vs Getafe Prediction 14 February 2025
🔊 Will José Bordalás' team be able to challenge the "Girona" side? The opening match of the 24th round of La Liga will be a clash between Girona and Getafe at the "Montilivi Municipal Stadium". The visitors are in excellent form, having earned 11 points in the last 5 rounds, which is the 3rd best result in the league. Let's take note of the bookmakers' preliminary predictions: a win for the "red and whites" - 1.97, a victory for the "dark blues" - 4.2.
Head-to-Head
Getafe has never managed to defeat Girona at the "Estadi Montilivi" in the history of the elite Spanish division - 1 draw and 3 losses. In the first round of the current championship, Girona achieved a hard-fought victory at the "Coliseum Alfonso Pérez" (1:0).
Head-to-head statistics Girona - Getafe
Girona Team Overview
In the last round of the Spanish championship, the "Girona" suffered another humiliating defeat - from Athletic (0:3). Surprisingly, Girona's total xG in the match at "San Mamés" was 0.03. For comparison, the "Basques" had an xG of 3.56 goals. This failure was the 5th in the last 6 matches for Michel's team. Now the club is content with the 8th position in the standings, trailing the European competition zone by 4 points. Defending with a low block is far from the strongest aspect in Michel's stylistic model. This was quite evident in the last round of La Liga, when "Girona", using 7 players focused on defensive functions, acted disjointedly and lacked compactness. The lack of proper attacking power also directly affects the average number of points "the red-and-whites" have earned this season. Nominally, the team's main forward Abel Ruiz has scored only 4 goals in all competitions. Among the unavailable players for the upcoming game are Arnaut Danjuma and Bojan Miovski (both due to injuries).

Getafe Team Overview
Getafe's unbeaten streak in La Liga has reached 5 matches. This has allowed the club to distance itself from the danger zone, settling in 14th place in the standings. It is no longer surprising that José Bordalás's team boasts one of the most reliable defensive lines in the league - conceding an average of 0.74 goals per match (2nd best). The secret to their success lies in the fantastic physical fitness of Getafe's players, as well as their strict adherence to the coach's instructions. Fans of the Spanish La Liga associate the "city" team with the use of a classic 4-4-2 formation, characterized by active counter-pressing and absolute elimination of free spaces when defending. During the winter transfer window, Getafe made several quite interesting deals. Among them are loan agreements for Juanmi (from Betis) and Ramón Terrats (from Villarreal), as well as signing Juan Bernat as a free agent (from Villarreal). Interestingly, each newcomer immediately made it into the club's starting lineup. Luis Milla's participation in the upcoming round remains in question, as he continues to recover from an injury.
Match Results: Getafe
⚽️ GOALS PREDICTION
Both teams are experiencing several difficulties during their attacking phases. For instance, the "Gironistes" score about 1.3 times per game, while the "Dark Blues" only 0.8. It is noteworthy that in 6 out of 9 head-to-head encounters in La Liga, no more than two goals were scored. Additionally, it's important to remember that José Bordalás's team is extremely convincing in defense and sometimes provides remarkable resistance to powerful attacking structures. It is highly unlikely that we will witness a high-scoring match - total under 2.5 goals.
🚩 CORNERS PREDICTION
In each of the 9 head-to-head matches between the teams, there were no more than 10 corner kicks observed. A rather narrow positioning of players is characteristic of the tactical setups of both clubs. Based on this, the "Gironistes" and the "City" are often characterized by vertical football, lacking a special idea in the opponent's half of the field. We note the extremely low number of corners conceded by the teams at their own goals: the "Red and Whites" - 3.7, the "Dark Blues" - 4. Our choice is - total under 9 corners.
Editorial Prediction
Getafe, despite its rather "slippery" position in the standings, is characterized by having the second-best defense in the league. High intensity and aggressive counter-pressing allow the "city team" to operate smoothly in positional defense. It is noteworthy that the strong point of the "dark blues" is finding and exploiting free spaces effectively. Interestingly, maintaining compactness in lines is the main issue for Girona this season. Our editorial team believes that the visitors are capable of leaving the Catalan city with points in hand. For example, a final score of 1:1 quite fits the current scenario. The key bet is Getafe will not lose.
