Form and Line-up Getafe
Getafe are one of the phenomena of this season. Despite having the worst xG in the league (an average of 1.09) and a negative goal difference (-8), the home team are somehow in the European spots. Bordalas's style is unchanged: a tough defence (101 yellow cards over the season), plenty of fouls (15.2 per game) and a reliance on counter-attacks. However, in recent rounds the hosts have stalled, losing three of their last five matches and failing to score in four of those games.
Key numbers Getafe:
In seven of the last eight home games, the bet Under 2.5 goals has landed.
The Madrid club have the third-worst home record in the league (only 21 points from 17 matches).
15.2 fouls per game and 101 yellow cards – the worst disciplinary record in La Liga.
Probable Getafe line-up (5-3-2): David Soria – Juan Iglesias, Domingos Duarte, Sebastian Boselli, Zaid Romero, Davinchi – Luis Milla, Djene, Mauro Arambarri – Mario Martin, Martin Satriano
Absentees: Abdel Abqar (suspension), Kiko Femenia (doubtful)
Form and Line-up Mallorca
Mallorca under Demichelis have started to play more adventurous football, but their away results remain their Achilles heel (only nine points from 17 away games). Nevertheless, the islanders are in an excellent mental state: they recently beat Girona 1:0 and snatched a draw against Villarreal (1:1). Attacking leader Vedat Muriqi is enjoying an outstanding season – with 22 goals he is second in the scoring charts, chasing Kylian Mbappe (24).
Key numbers Mallorca:
Vedat Muriqi has scored 22 goals – more than 50% of the team’s total.
The second-worst away record in the league (just two wins).
Mallorca have won four of the last six head-to-head meetings with Getafe.
Probable Mallorca line-up (4-2-3-1): Leo Roman – Miguel Calatayud, Omar Mascarell, Martin Valjent, Toni Lato – Sergi Darder, Manu Morlanes – Zito Luvumbo, Pablo Torre, Jan Virgili – Vedat Muriqi
Absentees: Mateo Joseph, Antonio Raillo, Jan Salas (injuries), Samu Costa (suspension), Marash Kumbulla (doubtful)
