Celta Vigo v Getafe

Celta Vigo vs Getafe Preview

Celta Vigo will head into this upcoming La Liga clash at home against Getafe on the back of a heavy 3-0 loss away from home at Leganes, while Getafe picked up a point by virtue of a 1-1 draw at home with Valencia, but both sides have found league wins hard to come by in recent times.

Following a promising start to this season's Spanish top flight campaign which produced two wins on the trot for Celta Vigo as the hosts collected early season wins against Alaves and Valencia, both of which were at home, the hosts have since struggled to maintain their early momentum.

Indeed, Celta Vigo have managed to collect just two further wins from their subsequent nine league matches in the domestic top flight which came in the shape of important victories over Real Valladolid and Las Palmas respectively.

Claudio Giraldez's side were also handed six defeats within these previous nine games but the promising aspect for Celta Vigo here on Monday night is that three of the hosts' four wins to date this season have been achieved on home soil at their Estadio Abanca-Balaídos.

In addition, Celta Vigo have slipped to just two losses in their previous 12 home games in La Liga whilst picking up seven wins in the process.

Getafe picked up another point by way of a 1-1 draw at home with Valencia in last weekend's action which became a third stalemate on the trot but also extended the visitors' unbeaten run to four games overall.

A solid 2-0 home win against Alaves has been followed by three draws with Osasuna, Villarreal and the aforementioned Valencia which have seen José Bordalás's side collect some useful points from their recent La Liga fixtures.

However, the fact still remains that Getafe have managed to register just one win so far in this season's campaign and despite picking up points in no fewer than seven draws, these have not been enough to prevent the visitors from slipping further down the La Liga table to 16th place.

The bigger picture shows Getafe have collected just this single victory from their previous 16 matches overall in the domestic top flight and having also been dealt eight defeats in the process, it looks like Getafe may well have their work cut out against a fairly solidly performing Celta Vigo in their own backyard here on Monday night.

Celta Vigo v Getafe Verdict

Getafe have actually enjoyed the better of the previous exchanges against Celta Vigo as they are unbeaten in the last five meetings along with winning three of these games but Celta Vigo look to hold the edge in this upcoming encounter and the hosts could turn the tables on their opponents in this one.
