Espanyol vs Getafe Prediction & Betting Tips (21 March)

It's a descent into hell for Espanyol Barcelona, ​​long in the top 5-6 and now relegated to 8th place due in particular to an inability to win a single match in La Liga in 2026. Indeed, since their setback suffered against Barcelona at the start of 2026 0-2, the Pericos have gone 10 days without celebrating the slightest victory for a record of 6 defeats. Defeats which took place at home against Alaves 1-2 and Girona 0-2 and away on the lawns of Valencia 3-2, Villarreal 4-1, Atlético Madrid 4-2 and last weekend in Mallorca 2-1. For its part, Getafe has won 4 of its last 6 matches in La Liga, and not the least since on their hunting table, we find Betis Sevilla 2-0 but especially Real Madrid 0-1 and Villarreal 2-1.

We can also mention the nice move made at Alaves 0-2. Last weekend, with the objective of achieving a 3rd success in a row in the elite, Bordelas' men lost in the capital against Atlético Madrid because of a gem from elsewhere signed Manuel Molina 1-0. In the rankings, Getafe returned to the top 10 9th and finds itself more than ever in contention in the European fight with 6 lengths behind Celta Vigo. 

The serious injury to captain and offensive talent Javi Puado (cruciate ligaments) most likely put a blow on the head of the Catalans who have not put one foot in front of the other since. Let us note as a bonus the uncertainty around Calero and the suspension of Pickel (excluded against Mallorca). On the field, coach Manolo Gonzalez can rely on the offensive Fernandez (5 goals, 2 assists), who has however lost the confidence of his coach in the hierarchy of number 9: Dolan (rotation), Jofre Carreras (1 goal) without forgetting Pere Milla (6 goals) and the former Alaves striker, Kike Garcia (6 goals, 1 assist in La Liga), a priori starting in front today. Excluded for having pinched an opponent's crotch against Atlético Madrid, center Abqar will serve his suspension today.

Note Kamara's serious injury (metatarsal fracture) while Davinchi is convalescing after his meniscus operation. The attackers Juanmi (unimportant) and Borja Mayoral (4 goals in La Liga this season) are injured and apparently out today. Offensive recruits Satriano (on loan from OL) and Luis Vazquez (on loan from Anderlecht) will be traveling to Catalonia, like the very interesting midfielder Mauro Arambarri (5 goals, 2 assists). The probable line-ups for Espanyol Barcelona – Getafe:
