Getafe vs Espanyol: Getafe is not the favorite

There’s a clear feeling that Getafe could end the season with zero wins. At least, everything goes to it. Espanyol seems to be another insurmountable step for Getafe.

Bookmakers are very fond of highlighting home teams, and I don't understand why. Well, there is a bottom team that can't beat anyone. Why should the home advantage make it a favorite? This is nonsense, and Getafe should not be a favorite anywhere. At most, against some Levante.

Getafe, of course, started to play draws, and that is already better than the constant losses. But in any case, 3 points in 11 rounds is a very upsetting result. Getafe makes Espanyol look like Barcelona.

Of the last seven matches, Espanyol lost only one, to the powerful Sevilla. During this period, they managed to beat Real Madrid and take points from Betis and Athletic. What about Getafe? There are no options for the home team today. Espanyol is a steady middling of La Liga, while Getafe is a hopeless underdog. No matter what the bookies say, they are not on the same level.

A zero handicap for Espanyol is the best option for the upcoming meeting. It is possible to allow a draw, but not a defeat. And in general, of course, we expect Getafe to fail again. There are a couple of months ahead to continue this bad streak.
