Getafe vs Espanyol prediction, H2H and probable lineups - December 13, 2025
One of the fixtures of La Liga's 17th round will be played on Saturday at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez in Getafe, where the hosts take on Espanyol. I suggest a bet on the outcome of this clash with solid chances for success for those who know how to read between the lines.
Match preview
The Madrid-based side is enjoying a stable season, currently sitting eighth in the table—already an improvement over last year’s result. After a loss to Villarreal, the team is eager to get back to winning ways, especially in front of their own fans, where they recently secured an important victory over Elche. A strong home record has been one of the main weapons for the Azulones in this La Liga campaign.
However, injuries and the absence of key midfielder Luis Milla due to suspension could affect their control in the middle of the park. Even so, their attacking duo remains a real threat—having already netted nine goals between them, and they’ll be the focal point again in this home fixture.
Espanyol, meanwhile, are in red-hot form, having claimed three consecutive La Liga victories and firmly established themselves in the European qualification zone. The team’s internal progress is clear—stability, discipline, and organization have turned Espanyol into one of the season’s surprise packages. While the Champions League spots are still some way off, there’s already a contender’s mentality brewing in the squad.
Even with Tyrese Dolan suspended, the Periquitos maintain both fighting spirit and squad versatility. The midfield deserves special mention for its recent progress—taking control of matches and providing the all-important balance between defense and attack.
Probable lineups
- Getafe: Soria, Iglesias, Abkar, Djené, Nyom, Femenía, Solosabal, Arambarri, Martin, Liso, Mayoral
- Espanyol: Dmitrovic, El Hilali, Calero, Cabrera, Romero, Piqué, Gonzalez, Lozano, Milla, Esposito, Fernandez

Prediction
This match promises to be tight and hard-fought—both teams are comfortable playing at a slower tempo and are not prone to open shootouts. With the balance of power so even, a draw looks like the most realistic outcome—with few clear-cut chances and a heavy emphasis on discipline.
