Getafe hosts Ajax in the first leg of the Europa League 1/16 finals. The match will be played on Thursday, February 20th at Coliseum Alfonso Perez (Getafe)
Getafe is holding a great season. The team is steadily adding, which ultimately resulted in quite good results. The Blues held a good group stage of the EL very well - the team scored 12 points in Quartet C, which was enough for 2nd place. The Spaniards stumbled only in games with Basel, having lost to the Swiss in both meetings. In the last match, the Blues defeated Russian Krasnodar (3-0) in their home arena, thanks to goals scored by Cambrai, Molina, and Kenedy. Jose Bordalas’s men are showing good football. Getafe climbed to 3rd place in the LaLiga standings, and though it lost to Barcelona in the last away round (2-1), this certainly doesn’t diminish the merit of the Blues.

Ajax got into the Europa League through the Champions League group, and this is not that result that the semi-finalist of the last elite European championship counted on. However, it happened just like that - the Sons of the Gods lost to Valencia in the decisive home match (0:1). The Spaniards opened the scoring in the first half, after which the Dutch unsuccessfully tried to breach the defense of the Bats. This defeat pushed the men of Eric ten Hag to third place in the group, thereby sending them in the 1/16 finals of the EL. Ajax is also in great shape - the team leads in the national championship, and it beat Waalwijk at home in the last round (3-0).
Both teams approach the upcoming meeting in optimal conditions. Getafe is a member of one of the strongest world championships, while Ajax is rightfully considered the best club in the Netherlands. But I think the Blues will not lose at home since they show very powerful football in front of their native stands. Therefore, Getafe will surely not miss its chance in the first leg. Bet: Getafe will not lose - 1X.
Prediction for the match: Getafe to win with +0.5 handicap
