Getafe vs Elche prediction, preview, team news and more

The 2021-22 edition of La Liga returns to the fold with another set of matches this weekend as Getafe take on Elche on Monday. Both teams have been inconsistent in recent months and have a point to prove in this match.

Elche are in 15th place in the La Liga standings at the moment and are yet to win a match this season. The away side held Sevilla to a 1-1 draw last week and will need a similar result this weekend.

Getafe, on the other hand, have lost all their games so far this season and have struggled in La Liga. The Madrid-based outfit troubled Barcelona last week and will need to step up in this fixture.

Getafe vs Elche Head-to-Head

Getafe have a good record against Elche and have won five out of eight matches played between the two teams. Elche have managed only one victory against Getafe and will need to cut the deficit on Monday.

The previous match between the two teams took place in March this year and ended in a 1-1 draw. Both teams squandered chances on the day and will need to be more clinical this weekend.

Aditya started following the sport after being dazzled by Ronaldinho’s silky feet at the 2006 FIFA World Cup. He is a Barcelona fan and unsurprisingly, his favorite manager and players are Pep Guardiola and Andres Iniesta respectively. He admires the latter for his superhuman talent and his off-pitch demeanor, and his winning goal in Spain’s 2010 World Cup final win over the Netherlands left a lasting impact on Aditya.

The match-preview specialist believes that his ongoing five-year stint at Sportskeeda has given him the ability to identify the distinct line between emotional and fact-based articles, which separates him from other journalists. For him, fact-checking is the most integral part of his writing process and he only relies on authentic platforms for data.
