Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
After failing to spoil Barcelona’s party at Camp Nou, Almeria will look to extend their winning run at home to four games when they take on Getafe in the La Liga round 14. The Andalusians look unstoppable in front of home fans, and is it no surprise the odds for home win have been dropping. All Rodrigo Ely, Ivan Martos, and Juanjo Nieto miss out with injuries, while Carlos Rojas faces race against clock to be fit for Wednesday’s clash.
Los Azulones, on the other hand, head into the match following a goalless draw with Cadiz. Getafe are eyeing their third consecutive clean sheet in La Liga, and seeing that Almeria are tough to beat at home, we are tempted to put our money on under 2.5 goals. Both Gaston Alvarez and Portu are banned for the capital club, while Djene Dakonam and Mauro Arambarri remain in the recovery room.
