Experience a Thrilling Adventure
In a remarkable comparison, Getafe and Girona showcase contrasting experiences in La Liga. As Halloween approaches, both teams prepare to compete in a critical match that could impact their standings.
Getafe’s Strong Performance
Under coach José Bordalás, Getafe has found stability despite a shaky start this season. Currently, they sit in tenth place. They hold the same points as the seventh-placed team, only two points shy of European qualification.
Recent Victories
- Getafe recently secured a victory against Athletic Bilbao at San Mamés, a challenging venue.
- The team also triumphed over Inter Valdemoro in the Copa del Rey, winning 11-0.
However, the team will be without injured player Davinchi and the suspended Nyom in the upcoming match. Bordalás might include younger players like Joselu, Laso, and Vilaplana, who recently debuted in the Copa.
Challenges for Girona
On the other hand, Girona finds themselves in a precarious position, sitting at the bottom of the league table. Coach Míchel acknowledges the struggles, especially after a narrow 3-2 victory against Constància in the Copa del Rey that required extra time.
Defensive Woes
Girona’s defense has been a significant issue, having conceded 22 goals this season. Despite the challenges, goalkeeper Gazzaniga has been a reliable presence, while Livakovic returns from injury just in time for this crucial match.
Looking Ahead
Should Girona win against Getafe, they could escape the relegation zone and leapfrog five teams temporarily. Such an outcome would be vital as they seek to turn their fortunes around.
Key Players
- Getafe: Witsel, Lemar, Bryan Gil, Tsygankov.
- Girona: Stuani, Livakovic, Krapyvtsov.
Their differing fortunes highlight the unpredictability of football, where strong squad names do not always translate to performance on the pitch. As the match approaches, both clubs have much at stake, making for a thrilling adventure in La Liga.
