Getafe vs Espanyol | La Liga Preview & Betting Tips | 13 Dec 2025
Getafe and Espanyol lock horns in a fixture that rarely runs away from either side. Neither come into this flying, but both know how important these kinds of games are when league positions are tight.
The Coliseum should be lively, with the home crowd expecting grit and organisation. Espanyol bring a solid travelling support and won’t mind keeping things tight early before picking their moments.
Expect Getafe to play direct and aggressive, while Espanyol are more comfortable moving the ball and building pressure patiently.
Getafe average just over 41% possession and fewer than nine shots per game, showing a clear preference for structure over flair. A big chunk of their goals arrive late, once games become scrappy.
Espanyol are more proactive, averaging over 13 shots per match and posting a much higher xG figure. Their pass completion sits above 80%, highlighting a cleaner build-up compared to the hosts.
Getafe’s last ten read: five wins, two draws and three defeats, scoring nine and conceding eleven, with three clean sheets. They’ve been hard to beat at home, even if goals are at a premium.
Espanyol have won five, drawn one and lost four of their last ten, scoring thirteen and conceding eleven, with four clean sheets. Their form has been patchy but competitive.
Getafe at home are awkward to play against, conceding under a goal per game and rarely getting blown away.
Espanyol away have been mixed, capable of nicking results but not always convincing in front of goal.
Goals Against
xG Against
Espanyol create far more on the xG front, while Getafe rely on efficiency and structure.
The last five meetings have been extremely tight: two Espanyol wins, one Getafe win and two draws. Four of those five finished under 2.5 goals.
This feels like another cagey contest. Espanyol look stronger on paper, but Getafe at home rarely give much away.

Main pick: Under 2.5 goals – history and styles point that way.
Value angle: Draw – neither side does enough to fully pull away.
