THE LOWDOWN
GETAFE
In the battle of Bordalas last weekend, Valencia edged past Getafe by a goal to nil to make Getafe’s route back into the top seven and the European qualifying spots that bit more difficult. The Madrid-based club begin the weekend sitting in the bottom-half of the table and not entirely out of contention for that top seven.
They are a very mid-table side, though, as highlighted by Bordalas’ 225 matches as a coach whereby he has won 75, drawn 75 and lost 75. They come into this now on the back of a winless run of form extended to four matches with that aforementioned defeat to Valencia thanks to a 40th minute winning goal scored by Hugo Duro.
GIRONA
Coached by Michel, Girona have maintained some strong form to make it be that a top four finish and UEFA Champions League qualification remains probable for the Catalans as they still try and chase Real Madrid at the top-of-the-table, albeit they are now seven points adrift of Carlo Ancelotti’s Los Blancos in La Liga.
Michel, who was recently linked with a move to Premier League side Chelsea, oversaw his Girona side defeating Osasuna by two goals to nil in Catalonia last weekend with strikes in either half from Portu and then Savio. They have been entertaining to watch throughout the campaign, too, with their 28 matches in La Liga consisting of 92 goals.

THE PREDICTION
Getafe and Jose Bordalas have a habit and have earned a bit of a reputation for making life really difficult for some of the biggest clubs in Spain. Getafe are expected to do so once again as they welcome Girona to the capital. Getafe have actually been a bit more proactive and entertaining to watch this season with 78 goals coming in their 28 matches thus far. Girona, as mentioned, are a thrilling team to watch so a fun game for the neutral is to be expected at the Coliseum.
TIP: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE
