Getafe vs Elche

Getafe host Elche in a Friday night Spanish La Liga fixture, with both teams looking to bounce back from recent struggles.

The hosts have found things difficult lately and will be keen to get things going in front of their fans. They can show their quality over the visitors, who are poor on their travels.

Getafe News

Getafe head into this clash off the back of successive 1-0 defeats in their last two matches. First, they were beaten at Mallorca before losing at home to Atletico Madrid last time out in La Liga.

The good news for Getafe is that they had earned three straight victories across all competitions prior to that run and will be keen to get back to winning ways. Jose Bordalas' team are also unbeaten in four of their last six home matches, winning at least one half in three of those fixtures.

Getafe will be keen to make a fast start and have scored first in three of their last five matches across all competitions. Four of their last six home matches have also produced over 1.5 goals.

Elche News

Things have also been difficult for Elche lately, having failed to win their last six La Liga matches. However, Eder Sarabia's team will take plenty of positives from the 2-2 home draw with leaders Real Madrid last time out.

The major problem for Elche is a poor away record as they are winless on their travels in the league this season. They are currently on a three-match losing run on the road, suffering a 3-1 defeat to Barcelona in their previous away fixture.

Elche are often shaky at the back but tend to show some quality going forward as evidenced in the draw with Real Madrid. Five of their last six away matches across all competitions have produced over 1.5 goals.

Head to Head

Getafe and Elche have five wins each, with seven draws in the last 17 matches. The hosts were unbeaten last season, earning a 1-0 away victory in the first meeting before holding out for a 1-1 home draw in the reverse fixture.

Verdict

Getafe v Elche

Seven of the last 10 matches between Getafe and Elche have produced over 1.5 goals, and a similar outcome is expected here. Having won at least one half in the last two La Liga meetings, a repeat could also be on the cards.

Getafe have scored first in three of their last five matches and could be backed to grab the opening goal here.
