- Getafe have won 2 and lost 3 of their last 5 competitive fixtures.
- Celta de Vigo have won 1, drawn 2 and lost 2 of their last 5.
- Getafe are unbeaten after 1 home LaLiga 2026/2027 match (1 win, 0 goals conceded).
Pressure on pair to play positive
Getafe's last home match was a 1-0 win over Racing Santander in LaLiga 2026/2027, but Pepe Bordalás' men haven't been able to build on that, losing 2-1 away to Partizan Belgrade in UEFA Conference League qualifying before being beaten by Osasuna in the 2026/2027 top flight.
The Azulones, who are 14th in the table on 3 points from 3 matches, come into Monday's clash with Celta de Vigo, while the Celestes are down in 16th place on 1 point after 3 games.
Getafe have won 2 of their 5 matches this season, while Celta have 1 win in the same number of matches, so the obvious conclusion is to take the visitors at 48/25 for an away win on Monday and leave it at that.
However, the odds on Getafe (81/50) and the draw (19/10) are all just as unappealing and it is hard to give Bordalás' men the nod, despite their solid home start to the season.
Cagey clash looks inevitable
It's easy to envisage a cagey affair where neither team is that confident of pushing for a win.
Pepe Bordarás has Getafe playing with the kind of compact, aggressive and ruthless approach in transition that can win them games against weaker opposition, but the Azulones are not equipped to play against the ball in a truly sustained way.
Claudio Giráldez has Celta playing a more structured, possession-based game, while he's encouraged them to be flexible and patient in possession with the ability to accelerate in the final third when a space is spotted.
Getafe's press-and-break against Celta's patient, possession-based game should see a chess match ensue, where neither side is likely to get too many good chances in a contest that will look like a relegation clash for the Celestes.
Backing under 2.5 goals at 11/25 is our preferred way to make money, while both teams to score - No at 31/50 should also land in this game that could be decided by a single goal.
No clear value in goalscorer market
Iago Aspas is Celta's top scorer in 2026/2027 with 1 goal in 3 games, but he can be a bit hit-and-miss. The veteran has 2 of his side's last 3 goals, however, and has been keeping the attack ticking over.
Getafe are much more reliant on Enes Unal for his goals, as he is their LaLiga 2026/2027 scorer so far with 1 strike in 3. He also has 2 of their 4 goals across the last 5 games, making him the top scorer for the Azulones.
Miguel Roman is another solid candidate to get on the scoresheet for the visitors after providing 1 assist in 3 league matches so far, giving Giráldez the creative spark between the lines he has been lacking this term.
It's very tough to split these two for the win, so we will take the draw in the correct score market as the most likely outcome, but the stats suggest it will be a tight, tense clash. Getafe have scored an average of 1.3 goals per game at home to Celta, who have scored the same average away, in their 5 head-to-head matches to date.
