THE PREDICTION
Any game involving Getafe is going to be nasty. None more so than against Eibar who are one of only four teams to have more than one red card so far this season. Eibar, the smallest club in La Liga, have begun the season with a low-scoring, low-conceding grit that is thematic throughout the Primera Division this season. Nine games in and a total of 15 goals in their matches highlights the knife-edge style of play that has allowed them to reach their unlikely seventh straight season in Spain’s top flight. Former Middlesbrough striker Kike is responsible for half of their goals this season as they sit 16th in the table without a win in their five home matches. Getafe, led by the unavoidable marmite that is Jose Bordalas, have begun the season in indifferent form with a 3-2-3 win-draw-loss ratio. This is improvement on post-lockdown form but still a dip in what had been an inevitable slog and, literally, fight towards La Liga’s top 4. This aggressive ideology being no more apparent than in their recent 2-2 draw away at Mestalla as they took a 94th-minute 2-1 lead before Valencia scored a 100th-minute penalty to equalise. An injury time that also consisted of three Getafe yellows and one red. They remain winless away from home but a win against lowly Eibar could see them edge further up the standings.
