Game Preview
On Saturday night, Getafe will host Elche, a team that has already been demoted, hoping to give themselves a big boost in their La Liga survival aspirations. Elche sits at the bottom of the standings with 19 points, having been demoted to the Segunda Division. The home team is now in 18th place, one point behind Real Valladolid in 17th.
Getafe has only played outside of La Liga since the 2004 season, although they face a real threat of being relegated to the Segunda Division for the 2023–24 season. The Deep Blue Ones are now ranked 18th in the table, with a record of eight victories, ten draws, and sixteen losses from their 34 league games this season. However, they are just one point behind Real Valladolid, who are in action on Friday night against 16th-placed Cadiz, and are currently in a tie for 17th place.
It’s going to be an exciting finale to the season with only three points separating Getafe in 18th place and Valencia in 14th, and Celta Vigo still in the running for relegation. On May 3, Jose Bordalas’ team defeated Celta 1-0 at home, but they are coming off a 1-0 loss to Real Madrid going into this match.
Let’s check the latest picks, La Liga news, stats and La Liga expert picks for Getafe vs Elche. We’ve plenty of La Liga predictions for you to consider.
Getafe has struggled to be consistent at home this season, picking up just 23 points from their 17 league games played in front of home supporters. However, they will be hosting an Elche team that has the worst away record in the division with just six points earned from 17 games played.
Elche’s relegation from Spain’s top division was officially announced after their 2-1 loss to Almeria on May 2. However, they will enter this game after an unexpected 1-0 win over Atletico Madrid. Elche has had a terrible season—there is no denying that—and they will play in the Segunda Division for the first time since the 2019–20 season next term.
Because they will also play Cadiz on the final weekend of the season and because of their performance against Atletico Madrid last time out, Los Franjiverdes can still have a significant impact on which teams join them in the second division. Elche defeated Getafe 3-1 in their encounter during the 2021–22 season, although Getafe won the earlier meeting this season by a score of 1-0.
