Elche CF

WLDDLW ⚖

Elche CF will be looking for another win after a 0-1 Copa del Rey victory against La Nucía.

The only name on the scoresheet from Elche CF was Lucas Boyé (46').

It’s been a rare occasion in recent times that Elche CF haven’t conceded. The reality is that Los Franjiverdes have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, giving up 8 goals along the way.

Their past results show that Elche CF:

• haven't beaten Getafe in their previous 4 league matches.
• haven't been defeated in their previous 2 home league matches.
• haven’t won at home in the past 5 league games. That's never good.

Getafe

WWDLLL 📉

Since tasting defeat last time out to Córdoba CF in Copa del Rey competition, Getafe and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

In that match, Getafe had 59% possession and 20 shots at goal with 7 on target. At the other end, Córdoba CF had 5 shots on goal with 1 on target. Ledesma (6') scored for Córdoba CF.

Over the course of 5 of the past 6 clashes involving Getafe, a comparatively low number of goals have been struck between them and opposing teams. The overall average goals scored per game in that period comes out as a meagre 1.67, with the average goals for Azulones equalling 0.83. That pattern won’t necessarily be carried forward into this game, of course.

Going into this one, Getafe have not been beaten by Elche CF in games played away from home for the previous 2 league matches.
