Command Analysis

Getafe

Current Form
Getafe continues its winless start to the La Liga season without its suspended coach due to a red card, although they managed to avoid embarrassment in a close 0-1 defeat against Barcelona. The club can find some comfort knowing they avoided relegation in the 2021/22 season despite losing their first seven matches. However, such assurances are unlikely for Jose Bordalas, given that they dismissed their previous coach, Michel, after eight rounds. The defense (0.86 goals conceded per game) is doing its best to cover for an attack that has only netted three goals this La Liga season.
Injuries and Suspensions
Aberdin (injury) and Rodriguez (ankle injury) will be unavailable for the match.
Interesting Betting Trends
The last nine matches for Getafe have ended in a draw or with a one-goal margin, paralleling the last eight head-to-head encounters.
Getafe has not lost any home league games to Alaves under Jose Bordalas.
Projected Lineup: Soria – Alderete, Djene, Iglesias Sanchez – Sola, Santiago, Mila, Rivera, Alena - Gomez, Uche.

Deportivo Alaves

Current Form
Alaves has scored more than three goals in five out of seven league matches this season and will aim to improve their defense to ensure their potent offensive line can fully capitalize on their efforts. Despite netting 11 goals, one of the highest totals in the league so far, Alaves has only managed three victories, two of which came at home, from seven La Liga games. They nearly staged a remarkable comeback, scoring two late goals in a 2-3 loss against Real Madrid, which left head coach Luis Garcia particularly frustrated over what he believed should have resulted in a dismissal of Endrick.
Disciplinary Actions and Injuries
Tenaglia will miss out due to a muscle injury.
Notable Betting Trends
All three of Alaves's victories in this league campaign have come against current opponents from the lower half of the standings.
Two of their three wins this season have been achieved at home.
Projected Lineup: Sivera – Ortiz, Villalibre, Pika, Jey – Gevara, Blanco, Benavides, Romero, Rioja – Garcia.

2.55Tip and bets
We believe that both clubs will continue their series of high-scoring matches today, showcasing plenty of attacks and goal-scoring opportunities. While the competitive spirit is strong, fatigue may impact the reliability of their defenses. In two of the last four head-to-head encounters, both teams found the net, and we anticipate a similar outcome today.
Our prediction is that both teams will score, and we are placing our bet with odds of 2.38
Betting on the Outcome
The away team has low chances of winning as Getafe puts on a strong performance at their home ground, the Coliseum, where they will enjoy significant fan support. Moreover, although the guests started well, their inconsistency makes it unlikely that they will be able to hold off the Blues, who have shown impressive form in their recent matches.
Prediction – Getafe to win with odds of 2.55
Betting on Penalties
It is likely that VAR will play a crucial role in determining the outcome by identifying a foul in the penalty area. In fact, two out of the last five head-to-head matches have resulted in a penalty kick being awarded.
Prediction – Yes to penalties at odds of 2.55
