Girona full of confidence ahead of Getafe clash

4 Min Read

Girona come into this fixture in excellent form, having won four of their last five La Liga matches, including three straight victories over Mallorca, Osasuna and Espanyol. Michel’s side, once dragged into relegation trouble, now sit 12th and five points clear of the drop zone occupied by Oviedo, Levante and Alaves.

Softfootball reported This resurgence mirrors memories of their incredible 2023-24 campaign when they finished third and secured Champions League qualification. At home, the White and Reds have collected 12 points from 10 matches, while Getafe have managed just 10 points from 10 away games.

Girona have also shown they can compete with the league’s giants this season, earning an impressive draw against Real Madrid recently. However, they also experienced the other side of elite competition after suffering defeat to Barcelona, exposing some of their defensive vulnerabilities.

Meanwhile, Getafe are going through a rough patch. A 1-0 defeat to Valencia last time out means Jose Bordalas’s men have not won in La Liga since late November, picking up just one point from their last six games. They sit 16th, only two points above the relegation zone.

Head-to-head history is evenly balanced, with both sides winning six of their 15 meetings and three ending in draws. Earlier this season, Getafe claimed a 2-1 win over Girona, repeating the same scoreline from last season’s corresponding fixture, which could give them a psychological edge.
