Espanyol v Getafe: LaLiga Match-day 27

LaLiga action on Saturday as Espanyol and Getafe meet at Rcde Stadium – 4:15pm GMT.

Fifteenth placed Getafe, are away to fourteenth placed Espanyol on Saturday.

Espanyol go into this fixture with 29 points secured

Espanyol need a positive result from this game, if they are to move their season forward. Their last match resulted in a loss to Villarreal, before that they drew away to Seville, 1-1.

Also, draw, lose, repeat, it’s a recurring pattern for Espanyol this season, as Budgerigars have failed to secure a win now in seven fixtures. Now they have 8 matches won, 11 games lost and 8 duels drawn; that’s why they currently sit in fourteenth place, with a total of 29 points having won eight matches, drawn eight meetings, and lost 11 matches.

Espanyol have won six fixtures, drawn four games, and lost three matches of their 13 League matches at home this season.

A win in this fixture, would take Espanyol’s points from 29 to 32, so far this season.

It is likely that two key players will miss Saturday’s fixture, which is something of a concern for Vicente Moreno and his Espanyol team.

This season’s LaLiga campaign, has so far seen Getafe achieve 27 points

Getafe have 90 minutes to break their recent habit of poor, or disappointing results, following a dissapointing home draw to Alaves and Cádiz.

Also, Getafe seem unable to get over the line on a consistent basis, with two draws in two matches. With a fifteenth position in the league and 6 wins, 12 losses and 9 draws, they currently have 27 points in the League having won six fixtures, drawn nine games, and lost 12 matches.

It must be a worrying prospect for Getafe to go back on the road, with a bud run of away performances under their belt this season. So far they have only secured six draws and seven defeats to the home team.

A win in this fixture would take Getafe’s points to 30 in the League.

Getafe’s squad will likely be depleted of four of their key players when they start on Saturday, due to injury or illness.
