Getafe is one of the two clubs that have not yet won this season, but they want to change that at their stadium, while Celta de Vigo is looking to get a new victory, to move further away from the relegation places.
Both go with similar expectations, so there is no advantage in motivation.
With the worst start in its history, Getafe is logically in last place in the standings. In fact, this team has only been able to add only two points in the first 9 games, and is already 4 points away from salvation. The azulones lost their first 7 games of the season before finally taking a point against Real Sociedad (1-1), just before the international break. Despite this relative improvement, ex OM coach, Michel, was fired and replaced on the bench by Quique Sánchez Flores. In his first game, the ex former Atlético manager was able to recover a point from his trip to Levante (0-0).
For their part, Celta de Vigo did not have a thunderous start to the season, but they are still in a much better situation than their rival of the day. Indeed, with 7 points added so far, the Celtics occupy 15th place in the standings and have 2 small points of advantage over the relegation zone. After getting their first two victories of the season against Levante (0-2) and Granada (1-0), the Galicians resumed their bad habits by losing to Elche (1-0) and then to Sevilla (0-1 ) the last weekend.
Getafe recruited Jankto, Atlético de Madrid midfielder Vitolo and striker Mata in the market, but the signings did not quite fit. They are just as inefficient offensively, this team has scored just 3 goals since the start of the season, including 2 thanks to striker Sandro Ramírez. They also has one of the worst defensive records in La Liga with 13 goals conceded.
If we leave aside the usual starter Tapia, this entire Celta de Vigo team is on deck for this match. In addition, we should find in attack the formidable Iago Aspas and Santi Mina who have already scored twice in the competition. In addition to man by man, Celta de Vigo looks far superior.
Here obviously I will give the advantage to the visitors.
Getafe is in a very bad dynamic and Celta de Vigo, who seems stronger on paper, could take advantage of this trip to revive, in addition to the fact that despite this as a local, the Madrilenians did not have full capacity, so their fans will not play in their favor.
For this match I see a victory for Celta de Vigo, although the match will be close.
