- Getafe have won two and drawn one of their last three home games.
Getafe have the platform to edge a cagey fixture
Getafe arrive at the Coliseum on Sunday coming off a 1-0 away defeat to Osasuna and a 1-1 home draw with Celta de Vigo. The results aren't the best, but there are some signs that Getafe are grinding out results without yet clicking into gear.
Pepe Bordalas has overseen this club since April 2023 and his compact, physical 5-3-2 or narrow 4-4-2 hybrid is built for the press, second balls and fast breaks with the wing-backs coming into play.
Enes Unal is their star man with 1 goal in 4 games in LaLiga 2026/2027, but he has scored 2 of their last 5 to keep the Azulones dangerous in transition.
Malaga CF look blunt in front of goal
Malaga CF arrive at the Coliseum off the back of a 1-1 draw at home to Deportivo La Coruna, a 4-0 defeat away to Real Madrid and a 0-0 draw at home to Levante.
Juan Funes, who was appointed in November 2025, has the Blanquiazules playing in a more structured 4-3-3, they like to build the game up and then play vertically. This is a classic press-versus-possession game.
Chupe is the club's top scorer with 1 goal in 4 matches in 2026/2027 and will be their sharpest finisher on Sunday.
Back the under on the 2.5 line
The odds make Getafe the favorite at 2.0, Malaga CF at 4.1 and the draw at 3.05, which looks right considering the hosts have the better early-season platform.
But we're going to take a different angle on this one and back under 2.5 goals at 1.48. Getafe have kept it tight at home, conceding just 0.50 goals per game and scoring only 1.00 per match on average.
Malaga CF are conceding 3.00 per match away from home, so this has the potential to be a cagey and tactical matchup.
Both teams to score - No at 1.62 is also of interest because of the hosts' tight home defensive numbers and Malaga CF's blunt away form.
Getafe look likelier to edge it, but this won't be a goal fest.
