Girona vs Getafe Prediction & Match Preview

Steffen Schmidt - August 18, 2023

Girona vs Getafe
Spanish La Liga
Date: 20 August 2023, Sunday
Kick-off at 18:00 UK / 19:00 CET
Venue: Estadi Municipal de Montilivi (Girona).

Girona host Getafe in the second round of the 2023/24 La Liga campaign on Sunday afternoon at Estadi Municipal de Montilivi.

Both teams earned big draws on the opening day of the season against the likes of Real Sociedad and Barcelona respectively.

Girona’s Ukrainian duo combined for the equalizer in San Sebastian as newcomer Artem Dovbyk bagged a goal on the debut for the new team after coming on from the bench in the second half of the affair.

Head coach Michel can generally be satisfied with the rhythm and form his men have shown in the preseason. Girona grabbed some interesting results this summer such as the wins over Sheffield United, Blackburn Rovers, and Lazio as well as a 1-1 draw to Napoli.

The Catalans generally play attractive football under Michel. They will, however, be prevented from creating much in the final third on Sunday given the opposition comes in the likes of Getafe.

Getafe do not have a lot of interest in possession under Jose Bordalas. Instead, they focus on physicality with a lot of duels and fouls.

They wasted so much time last weekend in the season opener against Barcelona and it brought them a great result as Los Azulones managed to keep the reigning champions to a goalless draw seven days ago at Coliseum Alfonso Perez.

Girona vs Getafe Head-to-head

• The home court advantage has played a big role in the short history of this matchup. Girona won three and drew two of the last five home outings against Getafe, conceding four goals in the process.
• Interestingly, we have seen two high-scoring encounters in the H2H clashes between these rivals in the previous term of La Liga.
• Both teams were on target in four of the last five head to head outings between Girona and Getafe.

Girona vs Getafe Prediction

We expect Getafe to try and kill the game from the start, much like they did seven days ago against Barcelona.

This is why the Under 1.5 goals FT pick makes sense at the attractive 2.62 odds. We don’t expect the visitors to get too many looks at Girona’s goal and our second pick will be Girona to keep a clean sheet at the odds of 2.10.

Girona vs Getafe Betting Tips

• Under 1.5 goals FT @ 2.62 (13/8)

• Girona to keep a clean sheet @ 2.10 (11/10) odd.
