Latest football commentary Espanyol vs Getafe
Espanyol have somewhat dispelled relegation fears thanks to an impressive run of form following the March international break, picking up seven points from their last three games, including back-to-back wins over Rayo Vallecano and Celta Vigo.
Manolo Gonzalez's side drew 1-1 with Atletico Madrid late last month, then scored six goals in a row against Rayo and Celta. This result helped them rise to 15th place in the rankings, creating a gap of six points from the relegation zone.
Espanyol are now just three points behind 12th-placed Osasuna, and should be aiming to improve their position rather than just stay in the league. Having just secured promotion via the Segunda Division play-offs for the 2023-24 season, staying in La Liga would be a huge success.
Espanyol have won three of their last four La Liga meetings with Getafe, including a 1-0 win in the second leg last season. However, in the first leg this season in Madrid, Getafe won by the same scoreline thanks to an Alvaro Rodriguez goal in the eighth minute.
On the other side, Getafe just suffered a 1-3 home defeat to Las Palmas, marking their second loss in the last three rounds, after also losing to Villarreal at the end of March.
Coach Jose Bordalas' team currently has a record of 10 wins, 9 draws and 12 losses after 31 rounds, earning 39 points and ranking 11th - 4 points more than Espanyol.
Getafe stand out thanks to their solid defense, conceding just 28 goals – the third best defensive record in La Liga this season, behind only Atletico Madrid (26 goals) and Athletic Bilbao (25 goals).
Despite being one of the lowest scorers in the league, Getafe have shown their ability to score goals away from home, scoring four times against Real Valladolid on April 6. In fact, they have won six of their last seven away games in La Liga, including a memorable 3-0 win over Real Sociedad earlier this year.
