La Liga Preview: Getafe Struggles in the Relegation Zone with Weak Attack, Alavés Shows Positive Form with Multiple Scorers

On September 28th at 20:00, La Liga’s eighth round will see Getafe host Alavés. Getafe remains winless and is in the relegation zone, while Alavés maintains stability in the mid-table. The clash between these two teams is highly anticipated.

In the La Liga standings, Getafe has 4 draws and 3 losses, accumulating 4 points and ranking 19th; Alavés has 3 wins, 1 draw, and 3 losses, accumulating 10 points and ranking 8th.

Getafe has yet to taste victory this season, marking the third time in their history that they have gone winless in the first seven rounds of a La Liga season (the previous instances were in the 2007-08 and 2020-21 seasons). Before the international break in October, Getafe faces consecutive home games against Alavés and Osasuna, striving to break their winless streak.

Getafe’s weak attack is a significant factor, having scored only 3 goals in the first 7 rounds, tying them for the fewest goals in La Liga. However, their defense has shown a high level, conceding only 6 goals in 7 rounds. In their last match away against league leaders Barcelona, they lost by a narrow margin of 0-1. In Getafe’s squad, Arambarri, Uche, and Majoral each scored one goal, making them the team’s joint top scorers and players with the most goal contributions.

Alavés has demonstrated impressive fighting spirit, currently sitting in the mid-table. Eight different players have scored for the team, showing a diverse scoring threat. After an initial two-game winless start to the season, Alavés quickly found its footing, winning 3 out of the last 5 matches.

In their last match away against reigning champions Real Madrid, packed with superstars, they narrowly lost 2-3. In Alavés’ squad, Jike, Carlos Vincente, and Martinez each scored 2 goals, making them the team’s joint top scorers; Carlos Benavides and Tenaria contributed 1 goal and 1 assist each, becoming the players with the most goal contributions in the team.

In this match, Getafe’s Álvaro and Nabil are sidelined due to injuries; Alavés’ Tenabiya is also out due to injury.

In previous encounters, Getafe has 6 wins, 10 draws, and 10 losses, placing them at a disadvantage; in home games, Getafe has 5 wins, 5 draws, and 3 losses, giving them an advantage.
