Form
While Girona have been a breath of fresh air in the Spanish top flight over the past 2-3 seasons, the signs suggest the Catalan minnows are beginning to run out of steam.
This season has been nothing short of a disaster for the club so far. In 10 matchdays they have managed just a single win, while conceding at an average of 2.2 goals per game. Those numbers simply aren’t good enough to survive in La Liga, and unless the side gets its act together quickly, there is a very real chance they will be playing second-division football next season.
In the previous round, the team missed a huge opportunity, as they got to play at home against newly promoted Oviedo. However, the 3 points never came, with a 97th-minute goal costing them the victory. This could be a major blow for them, as it was a must-win fixture that ultimately slipped through their fingers.
Getafe will have no relegation worries this season either, with the Madrid-based side sitting comfortably in mid-table in 10th place. Last weekend they pulled off a valuable away victory at Bilbao, a result that also ended a four-match winless run.

Missing players
There will be missing players on both sides in this match. From Getafe’s ranks, Allan Nyom is unavailable due to a red card suspension, while Davinchi and Abdel Abqar are unable to take the field due to injury.
In Girona’s squad, Juan Carlos, Donny van de Beek and Alejandro Francés are dealing with injuries, and there is also little chance of seeing David Lopez and goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic in action.
Free pick for today – Getafe vs Girona
The head-to-head meetings between these two sides have produced quite varied results in recent years. Based on the bookmakers’ odds, Getafe are the clear favourites for this match, but there may still be value in Girona’s odds. Sooner or later they will need to start picking up points — this squad is not bad enough to be sitting at the bottom of the table.
For this match, we have picked a bold tip in which we are hoping for goals and a point for the away side.
