La Liga-Getafe VS Girona: Dark horse vs. vice squad leader

In the 10th round of La Liga, defending champion Barcelona lost to Real Madrid 1:2 away from home and lost the El Clasico. The point difference has widened to 5 points. Is there any suspense about La Liga in the 2025-26 season?

There must be some!

Last season, Barcelona won the first round of the El Clasico and once widened the point difference to 6 points. In the 18th round, they lost to Atletico Madrid at home and lost the top spot. In the 20th round, they were tied with Getafe in an away game. They were already 5 points behind the top spot. In the end, they still won the championship.

In recent times, Barcelona has suffered an unprecedented number of injuries and attrition. In addition, when Lewandowski, Rafinha, and Yamal were healthy, their condition was not as good as last season. Next, as the injured return to the team and the main players regain their form, the results are expected to rebound.

In terms of relegation, the newly promoted Real Oviedo is expected to return to the second division at the end of the season. Girona, which has long been at the bottom, is more dangerous. This small La Liga club, owned by the same owner as Manchester City, was still playing in the Champions League last season. As the strength of the lineup has been greatly weakened, it is normal for it to become a relegation team. This round of La Liga away game against Getafe, which has a dark horse prospect, may also be a disaster.

Getafe VS Girona

Nature of the match: La Liga 11th round

Match time: November 1, 4:00

Getafe is a small club in La Liga. The current total value of the lineup is only 67.8 million euros. With such a lineup configuration, it is only at the level of a relegation team in La Liga. Girona has declined and sold some stars. The current total value of the lineup is still 155 million euros.

But Getafe's current results are quite good, with 14 points from 10 games, 4 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses, ranking tenth in the La Liga standings, only 2 points less than Real Betis, which ranks sixth in the European theater.

Girona currently has 10 games, 1 win, 4 draws, 5 losses and 7 points. It is at the bottom of the La Liga standings. It is the same point as the second-to-last Real Oviedo and 2 points less than the third-to-last Valencia, as well as the three teams outside the relegation zone: 17th Real Sociedad, 16th Mallorca, and 15th Levante. The relegation situation is grim, but if they can get rid of the decline and win one or two games, they can also quickly escape the relegation zone.

Getafe finally ranked 13th in La Liga last season, only 2 points more than the relegated Leganes, which was considered a thrilling success in avoiding relegation. Compared with last season, the current results are quite good. Getafe has currently scored 10 goals and conceded 12 goals in 10 rounds of La Liga. The offensive firepower is mediocre and the defense is relatively good. The number of goals conceded during the same period is the same as that of the defending champion Barcelona, ​​and only 2 goals more than the leader Real Madrid.

Girona scored 9 goals and conceded 22 goals in 10 rounds of La Liga. The offensive firepower is obviously insufficient, and the defense is the worst in the entire La Liga.

Getafe has 4 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses in the past 10 games in all competitions. In the last round of La Liga, they defeated the powerful Athletic Bilbao 1:0 in an away game, ending 5 rounds of La Liga (2 draws and 3 losses) without a win and 2 consecutive losses. In the first round of the King's Cup, they beat the amateur team Valdemoro 11:0 away from home. The recent state has obviously rebounded strongly.

Girona has 1 win, 5 draws and 4 losses in the past 10 games in all competitions. It has lost 1 draw and 1 loss in the past 2 rounds of La Liga. In the Copa del Rey, it eliminated the amateur team Constantia 3:2 in overtime. Its recent state is poor.

In the past 10 meetings between the two sides, Getafe had the upper hand with 4 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses. Last season, they defeated their opponents in away games in La Liga.

In this battle, Getafe is more promising!
