Getafe will look to pull clear of the relegation zone when they host Elche in round 35 of La Liga on Saturday (May 20).
Getafe were sent crashing back to earth in their battle for survival, as they fell to a 1-0 defeat to Real Madrid on Saturday. That followed a 1-0 win over ten-man Celta Vigo at the Estadio Coliseum Alfonso Perez on May 3, which snapped their six-game winless run. With 34 points from 34 games, Jose Bordalas’ side are 18th in La Liga, one point away from safety with four games left.
Meanwhile, Elche snapped Atletico Madrid’s three-match winning streak with a 1-0 win at the weekend. Before that, Los Franjiverdes fell to a 2-1 defeat against Almeria on May 2, which sealed their relegation from the top flight. Elche are rooted to the bottom of the standings, picking up just 19 points from 34 games.
Getafe vs Elche Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- With six wins from the last 18 meetings, Getafe holds a slight upper hand in the fixture.
