Getafe vs Leganes Prediction and Betting Tips | September 22nd 2024

Getafe and Leganes return to action in La Liga when they go head-to-head at the Estadio Coliseum Alfonso Pérez on Sunday. This will be the first league meeting between the two teams since January 2020, when Jose Bordalas’ men picked up a comfortable 3-0 victory at the Estadio Municipal de Butarque.

Getafe were denied their first win of the new La Liga campaign as they fell to a 2-1 loss against Real Betis at the Benito Villamarin Stadium. Before that, Bordalas’ side kicked off the season with three consecutive stalemates before suffering a 1-0 loss against 10-man Sevilla on September 14.

While Getafe will be looking to get their season up and running this weekend, they have struggled for results on home turf, where they are on a run of seven league games without a win, claiming just three points from a possible 21 since March’s 1-0 victory over Girona.

Leganes, on the other hand, were left empty-handed once again as they suffered a 2-0 defeat against Athletic Club at the Estadio Municipal de Butarque last Thursday.

Having picked up one win and two draws from their first three league games, Borja Jimenez’s side have now lost three consecutive matches, conceding five goals and failing to find the back of the net in that time.

With five points from the first 18 available, Leganes are currently 15th in the La Liga standings, two points and four places above Sunday’s hosts.
