Getafe come into the match having lost 1-0 at Sevilla in their most recent outing which was on the 9th of January. It was a narrow defeat with the only goal of the game coming in the 22nd minute and the loss came on the back of two important wins for Getafe.
They defeated Osasuna at home 1-0 and followed that with a tremendous 1-0 victory at home over Real Madrid.
The defeat against Sevilla is the only loss for Getafe in their last 7 La Liga fixtures. In fact, Getafe have lost only 2 of their 10 most recent league games, which shows they are difficult to beat.
However, Getafe have been finding wins difficult to come by and they have recorded only 4 victories from their last 21 La Liga matches.
Trends show Getafe have succeeded in keeping a clean sheet in their 4 most recent home games in La Liga. However, they have managed to score just a single goal in their last 3 home league matches and will want to improve on that record.
Granada make the trip to the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez on the back of a 1-1 draw at home against Barcelona in La Liga on the 8th of January.
Having conceded the opening goal in the 57th minute, Granada continued pressing for an equaliser and with Barcelona down to 10 men, they scored in the 89th minute to take a point.
That result means Granada have remained undefeated in their last 4 matches in all competitions and in each of their last 7 in La Liga.
Their away record in the league shows Granada have been tough to beat away from home in the league recently and they have lost only one of their last 6 away La Liga fixtures.
Granada have drawn each of their last 3 away league games and have failed to score more than a single goal in 3 of their last 4 on the road.
Team news and Getafe have doubts over the fitness of José Juan Macías and Sabit Abdulai. They are the only two players who could be missing for the hosts.
Granada have doubts over the fitness of Santiago Arias but every other player should be available for the away team.
This is a going to be a tight game, with both teams coming into the match in decent home and away form respectively. Therefore, we expect to see this one end level, with under 2.5 goals scored.
