Data provided by

Two sides in need of a lift meet at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez on Sunday, with Getafe and Malaga both struggling for goals in the early weeks of the La Liga season. The hosts sit 16th and have found the net just three times, while Malaga are still without a win, so a cagey, low-scoring afternoon looks on the cards.

Anthony Eadson’s Getafe vs Malaga predictions, best bets and score prediction are below.

Premium Tips

Anthony Eadson expects a cagey, low-scoring home win.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Getafe to win11/10 (William Hill)Getafe rarely blow teams away, but their resolute home displays should be enough against a Malaga side still searching for a first win of the season. The visitors have conceded eleven goals already and offer little going forward, while Getafe have kept it tight at the Coliseum with a win and two draws. In a game likely to be decided by a single moment, the hosts have the edge and look overpriced at 11/10 with William Hill to take all three points.
Getafe to win 1-0 (correct score)9/2 (bet365)Both these sides are among the lowest scorers in the division, with Getafe managing just three goals and Malaga only three of their own, so a tight, low-scoring game is the obvious script. Getafe grind out results at home rather than run riot, and a single goal has often been enough for them. A 1-0 home win fits the pattern perfectly and, at a healthy 9/2 with bet365, backing that exact scoreline offers real value in a cagey contest.

How Getafe go into the game

Getafe have made a typically stubborn but low-scoring start, sitting 16th with just three goals in six games. The Coliseum has been a fortress of sorts, with a 1-0 win over Racing and draws against Deportivo and Celta, but goals have been hard to come by.

Well drilled and hard to beat on home soil, Getafe will back themselves to grind out another tight result.

How Malaga go into the game

Malaga are still searching for a first win of the season after a run of three draws and three defeats, and they have conceded eleven goals along the way. A 3-1 home loss to Villarreal last time out summed up their struggles.

Winless and leaky, the visitors face another tough afternoon on the road at a resolute Getafe.
