Football Results

Both teams are positioned around mid-table, it was expected for Celta, while Getafe pleasantly surprised and plays very well in its returnee season to La Liga. Perhaps, it was expected that Celta will do more and reach positions that lead to Europe, which is the objective for this season, but in order to do so it must reduce oscillations in performances. Getafe has won just two points fewer than the team from Viog, but it has five-game unbeaten streak. Their match played in Vigo in the first part of season had ended as draw 1-1.

Getafe

The most important thing for Getafe this season is that they haven’t had longer negative series and practically from the beginning of season this team occupy places around mid-table. Getafe plays very defensively and that can be seen through even nine draws that the team played so far, and the latest five-game unbeaten streak out of which four matches were draws. At the beginning of it they won Malaga but then drew four times in a row, mostly with teams stronger than they.

Getafe drew with Athletico at home 2-2, and then 1-1 with Seville away thanks to goal scored in last seconds of match, while after that they drew with Leganes at home 0-0. Their match from previous round had ended with the same result but that happened at the Camp Nou in Barcelona. It is widely known fact how difficult is to stay undefeated there and it is even harder to come out with a clean sheet. Getafe did all that and now can play without any pressure. Antunes is suspended and Molinero will play on the left flank instead.

Probable lineups Getafe: Guaita – D. Suarez, Djene, Cala, Molinero – Arambarri, Fajr – Ndiaye, Angel, Portillo – J. Molina

Celta Vigo

Celta oscillates too much this season which is why positioned around mid-table with 9 wins and the same number of losses. After being eliminated from the Cup when Barelona outclassed them in the 2nd leg by 5-0, Celta won three matches in a row in La Liga and it seemed that the team will finally make a longer positive series. They won two away matches, against Levante and Real Sociedad, while Betis was defeated at theirs Balaidos stadium by 3-2.

After that came away match with Alaves and it seemed like a good opportunity to continue the positive series, however, Celta received two goals in first 20 minutes and scored consolation goal only in the finish of match. In previous round when it faced Espanyol it also received early goal but had managed to turn the result up-side down thanks to Maxi Gomez who scored both goals for his team, however, they didn’t manage to keep the result and the match ended as draw 2-2. Hugo Mallo and Sisto were back in the team, but that didn’t help much. Celta is one of rare teams that has no problems with injuries. This time no player is suspended and the strongest team goes on the pitch.

Probable lineups Celta Vigo: Ruben – Hugo Mallo, Roncaglia, S. Gomez, Jonny Castro – Wass, Radoja, Lobotka, Sisto – Iago Aspas, Maxi Gomez

Verdict:

Getafe is expert for draws and it is not unrealistic to play this match in that way, especially as Celta is unpredictable and often plays weaker than expected. If the match is to be uncertain that not to many goals are to be scored.
