Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-1
Alaves
Getafe will be aiming to bounce back from a heavy 5-1 loss to Athletic Club when they host Deportivo Alaves at their Coliseum Alfonso Perez on Matchday 21. Los Azulones defeated Huesca in their last home game in La Liga, which is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the visit of Alaves. Getafe boss Joseph Bordalas should have a full squad to choose from in Sunday’s clash.
The Basques, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 4-1 loss to Real Madrid. Alaves have been having a tough fixture list of late, but they are surely capable of matching Getafe, who are not enjoying a season to remember. A close encounter is on the cards at Coliseum Alfonso Perez, and we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Rodrigo Ely remains in the recovery room with a ligament injury.
Highlighted Player (Djené):
A central defender who can equally be deployed as a right-back, Djene Dakonam has emerged as one of the most influential Getafe players in the 2017/18 season. His road to prominence was a long one, however, and Djene had to bide his time in order to be recognized for quality he undoubtedly possesses. Dapaong-born Togolese international, Djene Dakonam made his first football steps as a youth member of Etoile Filante.
Spells in Benin and Cameroon with Tonnerre d’Abomey and Coton Sport, respectively, saw Djene Dakonam grab attention of Alcoron, who moved in to bring him to Spain in 2014. During two years in Spain Djene Dakonam made 59 league appearances before moving to Sint-Truidense. It was in Belgium that Djene Dakonam proved his defensive versatility and Getafe came calling the very next year, in 2017.
Djene proved to be an instant hit with the Azulones and is hoping a move to one of Europe’s biggest clubs will not be too far away for him. The likes of Arsenal and Tottenham have been sniffing around him during the summer transfer window in 2018 but were ultimately scared off by his £31 million release clause.
Highlighted Team (Alaves):
Alaves is a Spanish football club located in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Alava. The club were founded in 1921 and they play their home games at Estadio Mendizorrotza. The capacity of the stadium is 19,840 and it has to be noted that it is the third oldest stadium in Spanish football. After spending several years in the Spanish Segunda Division, los Babazorros returned to the top flight in 2016.
The color of Alaves’ home kit is blue and white and the club’s local rivals are fellow Basque sides Real Sociedad, Athletic Club, Osasuna and Eibar. Alaves made it to the UEFA CUP final in 2001, but they were beaten by Liverpool 5-4 in a thrilling football clash. Anyhow, that is still regarded as the club’s biggest success. Los Babazorros booked their place in the Copa del Rey quarter-finals on four occasions and they have yet to win the Primera Division trophy.
