Getafe take on the visitors Girona in the round 11 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Friday, October 31st at Coliseum (Getafe).
Getafe have already experienced success under José Bordalás in the past. Back then, they made a remarkable leap from the Segunda División all the way to the Europa League playoffs. Now that Pepe has returned, his main task seems to be simply keeping the team in La Liga. That was the case last season too, when Getafe finished with only two points more than relegated Leganés. On the other hand, their 42 points and 13th place were a solid outcome for a modest club. They began the new campaign brightly, winning three of their first four matches, and fans started recalling the glory days. However, the team then hit a wall — only managing draws against Alavés and Levante in recent rounds. In the previous matchday, they pulled off a pleasant surprise by beating Athletic Bilbao 1-0 away. Later, they demolished a lower-division side 11-0 in the cup, but that victory carried little meaning given the weak opposition. Getafe’s main issue has been consistency, as strong defensive play alternates with long scoring droughts. Still, their home form gives them confidence heading into this fixture.

Girona are trying to rise from the bottom. The Girona side stunned everyone two seasons ago when they sensationally led the league table for a long time before finishing third. A regression was expected, but the subsequent decline turned out far worse than anticipated. Their debut in the Champions League ended quickly, and the added European schedule clearly took its toll. After crashing out of both continental and domestic cups, Girona barely avoided relegation, finishing just a single point above Leganés. The new season started poorly with three straight defeats, raising fears of another struggle. However, the team has gradually improved since the autumn, earning draws against Celta, Athletic Bilbao, and Espanyol, while beating Valencia and narrowly losing to Barcelona after conceding in stoppage time. In the last round, they played a rollercoaster 2-2 draw with Oviedo, and in the cup they managed to overcome a lower-tier opponent in extra time. Girona are showing signs of recovery, displaying more attacking initiative and fighting spirit. But they still lack the defensive solidity needed to secure consistent results.
In the last seven meetings between these clubs, their victories have alternated strictly one after another. Both sides have reasons to go for the win here — the best bet is on both teams to score.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes.
