Espanyol vs Getafe prediction, odds and how to watch

Athletic Club put four past Getafe at home with a controlled, dominant display. Getafe had no answers and finished the match with ten men.

Racing Santander came from behind to beat Espanyol 2-1 at home in La Liga, with Yassir Zabiri scoring the winner six minutes from time to give the hosts a desperately needed victory. Espanyol's wastefulness in front of goal and a string of yellow cards told its own story.

Getafe showed real backbone to salvage a point against Rayo Vallecano on Monday night, equalising through Martín Satriano after playing more than an hour with ten men following Dakonam Djené's red card.

Espanyol have not won in five La Liga matches and have conceded nine goals in that run. Getafe are not much better. Something has to give on Sunday.

Atletico Madrid arrive at the Coliseum on Sunday having won all five of their last La Liga matches. Getafe need to find something they have not found much of lately: desire.

Athletic Club have drawn three of their last five La Liga matches and cannot afford another stalemate. Espanyol arrive with three losses in their last five and a defence that has been wide open.

Racing Santander host Espanyol on Saturday afternoon in a La Liga fixture that pits two sides desperately short of form and shorter still on confidence. One of them has to win. Neither looks like they want to.

Dani Carvajal's free transfer to Getafe has been confirmed, but only after LaLiga reportedly blocked the deal days earlier over concerns his declared salary breached the division's financial fair play rules. The move marks the end of a 23-year, 27-trophy Real Madrid career ended by injuries and Trent Alexander-Arnold's arrival.
