The Matchday 23 La Liga fixture between Alaves and Getafe will take place on 8 February at the Mendizorroza Stadium in Vitoria-Gasteiz. Alaves vs Getafe: prediction, betting odds and statistics.
Alaves
A week ago, despite being clear underdogs, Alaves beat Espanyol (2:1) in Barcelona. That result saw Alaves win two consecutive Primera Division matches for the first time this season, having previously recorded just one victory in their last nine games in the competition. Thanks to a successful end to January, the Basque side have significantly improved their position in the standings: they are now 10th, having been 18th not so long ago. However, the relegation zone is still close by, with only a three-point gap.
- Alaves have scored in seven of their last nine games in the Spanish league.
- The club have avoided defeat in six of their last eight home matches in the competition (four wins, two draws).
- The team have conceded in seven consecutive La Liga matches.
Potential Alaves Lineup (4-4-2)*
Antonio Sivera – Jon Pacheco, Victor Parada, Jonny, Carlos Benavidez – Antonio Blanco, Carles Alena, Pablo Ibanez, Kalebe – Toni Martinez, Lucas Boye.
Carlos Benavidez is unavailable due to injury.
Getafe
The club's prolonged rough patch is still not over. Getafe have now gone eight La Liga matches without a win, collecting only three points from a possible 24 in that spell. In the last two rounds, the team have at least managed to draw, having previously lost five of their last six matches in the competition. After a goalless draw against Celta in their previous outing, the club moved up from 17th to 16th in the table. Even so, Getafe remain just one point above the relegation zone. It is also worth noting that since the start of the current Primera Division season, the team have scored only 16 goals, with only Oviedo worse by that metric (12).
- Getafe have won with a (+1.5) handicap in five consecutive Spanish league matches.
- The club's winless away run in the competition stands at five matches (two draws, three losses).
- Getafe have conceded in seven of their last eight La Liga matches.
Potential Getafe Lineup (5-3-2)*
David Soria – Kiko Femenia, Juan Iglesias, Djene, Said Romero, Domingos Duarte – Mauro Arambarri, Luis Milla, Mario Martin – Luis Vazquez, Martin Satriano.
Defender Davinchi, as well as forwards Borja Mayoral and Abu Kamara, are not ready for the match due to injuries.

Alaves vs Getafe: Match Prediction
Even if the opponents rarely produce genuinely spectacular matches, we are unlikely to see their head-to-head meeting turn out dull. Alaves have failed to keep a clean sheet for seven La Liga rounds, but more often than not they manage to respond, with both teams scoring in five of those seven matches. Moreover, five of the seven games in that run have gone over the total. It is also worth adding that at least two goals have been scored in nine of Alaves' last 12 home matches in the Spanish league.
Getafe are traditionally cautious at home, but their away fixtures are usually noticeably livelier. While the club show the same lacklustre attacking output on the road as they do in front of their own fans, the number of defensive mistakes increases significantly away from home. As a result, the two-goal mark has been reached in 11 of Getafe's last 13 away matches in the Primera Division.
Prediction: Over 1.5 goals
