Getafe - Granada CF predictions and free betting tips [29/01/2024]

On Monday, 29th January, as part of the 22nd round of the Spanish Primera, Getafe will host Granada on their home field. While the hosts are positioned at the very equator of the league table, the red-and-whites are entrenched in the relegation zone and trail the safe 17th spot by five points.

Predicted Lineups

Getafe: Soria; Iglesias, Alderete, Alvarez, Rico; Mata, Djene, Maksimovic, Greenwood; Unal, Mayoral.
Granada: Batalla; Ricard, Mendez, Miquel, Neva; Gumbau, Ruiz, Villar; Zaragoza, Uzuni, Callejon.

Stadium

The match will be held at the Coliseum in Getafe.

Getafe

Starting the season considered as a candidate for relegation, Getafe has confounded skeptics and currently occupies a respectable tenth position in La Liga standings. With 26 points collected, the team trails the European cup zone by 10 points, whereas the relegation zone is 11 points away. After a fairly successful autumn, in January, the Azulones slowed down, losing two matches in a row to Rayo Vallecano (0:2) and Osasuna last weekend (3:2).

Mayoral and Nemanja Maximovic restored parity on the scoreboard in the second half, but Jesus Areso clinched victory for Pamplona with 10 minutes remaining. Moreover, the capital club had not lost in any of the previous 11 matches on its home field, winning seven of them, so head coach Pepe Bordalas aims to steer his charges back on course.

Granada

The reigning Segunda champion finds itself in a tough tournament situation, currently second from the bottom in the overall standings and trailing Sevilla, who occupies the saving 17th spot, by five points. Granada has only won one of the last 18 matches in the championship, losing 12 of them. Last weekend, the Andalusians almost held a draw against Atletico, but the craft of the Morata-Griezmann duo shattered their hopes (a 0:1 defeat); this was preceded by a loss to Betis by the same score.

Throughout the season, the guests have only collected 10 points, with only one earned on the road; in ten matches away from home, they scored eight goals while conceding 22. Even a change of head coach hasn't helped yet: Alexander Medina suffered defeat in each of his three away encounters as Granada's manager in La Liga.

Head to Head

In the first round of the current Primera draw, the teams drew 1:1. In the five previous confrontations in Madrid, both teams managed to triumph twice.

Match Prediction: Getafe vs Granada

Granada has only won one of their last 18 matches in the championship, and for the red-and-whites to clinch a victory away at Getafe would be miraculous. At home, the blue-and-greens rarely falter, averaging 2 points per game. Taking into account a series of six consecutive away losses, it is hard to imagine a triumph for the visitors here – my venture is a home victory for the favourite.

Goals Prediction

Granada on the road scores fewer than one goal per game, while conceding more than two. We can safely put our money on the individual total of Getafe for over 1.5 scored goals.

Corners Prediction

With the support of their home crowd, Getafe will play the leading role and will try to dictate their style of play to the opponent, full of fight and set-pieces. I believe that the Madrilenians will take at least five corners.

Yellow Cards Prediction

Getafe is the roughest team in La Liga (averaging 4 yellow cards per game). The hosts will not deviate from their style of play and will outdo the opposition on warnings this Monday.

Score Prediction

I'll bet on an exact scoreline of 2:0 in favour of Getafe.
