Getafe vs. Granada CF – Prediction (La Liga – 31.10.2019)

Preview and Teams Comparison.

Getafe are winless in their last five LaLiga games against Granada (D2 L3) and both sides scored at least one goal in these five matches. Getafe’s last three La Liga (LL) home games have all been decided by a two-goal margin (W2, L1), but this could be a much tighter match against the league’s surprise package Granada. The hosts have managed just one clean sheet so far this term, despite conceding a joint league-low 7.4 shots per game, and they have converted just two of five opening goals into victory (D3). All four of Ángel Rodríguez’s (GET) goals this LL campaign have arrived after the 60th minute. Whilst they haven’t faced Granada since 2015/16, it is worth noting – given Granada’s incredible start to the season – that Getafe haven’t won any of their previous four home meetings with Granada (D2, L2) dating back to 2011/12.

Four of Getafe’s five LL home games have featured exactly two goals. Referee José Luis González González has awarded three penalties and two red cards in his five LL assignments. Both teams have scored in each of the last five H2Hs, with four of those producing over 2.5 goals (two over 4.5).

The high-flying visitors have already matched their entire haul from 2016/17 (20 points), and are just the third newly promoted side in LL history to top the table after ten weeks. With six wins and six clean sheets in their last eight league matches, Granada have carried on the defensive form that saw them concede just 28 goals in 42 Segunda División matches last season. Granada have seen nine separate goalscorers on the road, but Carlos Fernández is one of just two players to score in two LL away appearances. Notably, five of those six league victories saw them leading at half-time, with a goal difference of +5 after the 60th minute ensuring that Granada maintain a perfect record when opening the scoring (W6) this term.
