Both teams are struggling for goals: Getafe vs Celta Vigo prediction
The fourth-round La Liga match between Getafe and Celta Vigo will take place on 7 September at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez. The hosts have collected three points from three matches, while the visitors are still without a win and have only two points.
Getafe: inconsistent start and poor scoring record
José Bordalás's side began the season with a 3-0 defeat to Alavés, then beat Racing at home before losing 1-0 to Osasuna. Getafe have scored just one goal and conceded four in three rounds.
However, they have already picked up three points at home and are also preparing for the Conference League group stage after beating Partizan in qualifying. With a busy schedule ahead, Bordalás will be particularly keen to stabilise the team's league form.
Celta Vigo: still winless, but solid away from home
Claudio Giráldez's side have collected two points from four matches. Celta drew 0-0 with Valencia, lost 2-1 to Osasuna and 2-0 to Athletic before recording another goalless draw, this time against Real Sociedad.
Notably, both of their points have come away from home, where they remain unbeaten and are yet to concede. That makes them a dangerous opponent for Getafe, who themselves are creating very few chances at the moment.
Match facts and head-to-head record
- Getafe have scored only one goal in three La Liga matches.
- Under 2.5 goals has landed in eight of Getafe's last 10 home matches, while the team have scored no more than once in nine of those 10 games.
- Under 2.5 goals has landed in four of Celta's last five away matches, while they produced only 0.37 xG in their latest game against Real Sociedad (0-0).
- In the last five head-to-head meetings, both teams have recorded two victories, with one match ending in a draw.
A cagey contest looks the most likely scenario: Getafe vs Celta Vigo prediction
Both teams have looked extremely weak in attack, so an open game is difficult to expect. Getafe are capable of taking the initiative at home, but Celta have already shown that they can defend reliably on the road. Given the teams' current scoring form and cautious styles, a low-scoring draw looks like the most logical outcome.
