Getafe vs Alaves prediction: Low-scoring draw at the Coliseum
Key stats
- Our Getafe vs Alaves betting tips take into account that the South Madrid side are winless in 12 league games overall.
- Both teams have scored in four of Alaves’ last five matches.
- Getafe fixtures this season in La Liga average 1.29 goals per game overall and just 0.67 at home.
Correct score prediction: Getafe 1-1 Alaves
Alaves have been much the more impressive side so far this season overall and look to have greater options than their opponents in attacking areas. Getafe do have their top scorer from last season Borja Mayoral available again though, following a long injury absence. They’re tough to beat at the Coliseum and this is shaping up to be another even game.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Getafe the slight favourites
- HOME: 8/5 (2.60) – 38.5%
- DRAW: 9/5 (2.80) – 35.7%

*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
The hosts are the very marginal favourites according to the Getafe vs Alaves odds with an implied probability of 38.5% that they win this match.
They come into it after a reasonable showing in midweek, as they only went down 1-0 away to leaders Barcelona.
Alaves also had a tough one on Tuesday night, losing 3-2 at Real Madrid, with Carlos Benavidez and Kike Garcia scoring late goals to nearly spark a stunning comeback.

Alaves preview: Rotation policy to continue
Luis Garcia persists with a policy of big changes from game to game. We could see much of the eleven change again here and he should have a full squad to pick from.

Player to watch – Toni Martinez
It has been an impressive beginning to life in Alaves colours for Toni Martinez. The 27-year-old has scored twice in 148 minutes of league action for his new club and could be rewarded with a second start here.
A threat on the ground and in the air
The former Porto striker looks like a smart signing for this Alaves side. He averages 2.5 shots and 3.5 aerial challenges won per game so far in La Liga, more than any of his teammates have managed.
