Getafe CF vs Deportivo La Coruña

Getafe host Deportivo La Coruña at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez on September 13, with both clubs still shaping their season three matchdays in. Getafe sit in the lower half of the table after a bumpy start, while Deportivo La Coruña are enjoying their return to the top flight, still unbeaten in the league. Early points carry real weight for both sides. Getafe's form has been shaky: a 3-0 defeat at Alavés and a stoppage-time penalty loss at Osasuna sandwiched their only win, 1-0 over Racing Santander through a goal from Enes Ünal. Deportivo La Coruña arrive in far better spirits after thrashing Valencia 3-1 at Riazor, where Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored and repeatedly troubled the visiting defense. Across 22 meetings since 2004 Getafe hold a slight edge, 8 wins to 7, and won the sides' last top-flight clash 3-0 at the Coliseum. With Getafe needing a home lift and Deportivo La Coruña carrying momentum, expect a tight, cagey contest. Our prediction: 1-1.
