Fuenlabrada vs Getafe tips and predictions

Home soil outsiders to put up a fight

Getafe may be a level above Fuenlabrada but this is not as straightforward as it might look at face value.

There's very little on offer in the 1X2 and the short price for Getafe makes them a terrible bet. Fuenlabrada don't look likely to upset the odds but they might cause the visitors plenty of problems. Building on the strong rearguard performances of both sides, a goalless stalemate is the pick and the draw odds available in the match winner market look like pretty good value.

Both of these sides have looked strong in defence. In their last 3 matches Fuenlabrada have only conceded 0.7 goals and Getafe have been impressive defensively on the road. They've let in an average of 0.5 goals per game over their last 4 matches away from home.

The sportsbooks expect goals at both ends of the park despite the favouritism for Los Azulones. Whatever happens, with the odds-against price on BTTS No that looks like a good way to extract some value this time around.

Fuenlabrada have drawn 13 of their last 20 matches on their own soil, most recently when they drew 0-0 with Gijon at home in May. Getafe have drawn 5 of their last 12 matches and while any draw will do, a scoreline of 0-0 shouldn't be dismissed here. The feeling is it will be a tightly contested match-up but without finding reason to justify a home or away win in the match odds, the guidance has to be with the value you can get onside with the draw price.

Of course, Getafe are a top tier side so it remains to be seen how Fuenlabrada adapt pull up to this stiff test.
