Getafe - Levante predictions

Getafe are easily the favourites in the match this Saturday, but we wouldn’t call a Home Win bet at the odds of 2.01 safe, exactly. They are more likely to win than not, but Levante may have a few tricks up their sleeve yet.

It would be a minor miracle for Levante to win at Getafe, and they’re likely aware of that. Though risky, such an outcome could bring solid profits thanks to the 4.10 price on most online sportsbooks.

It’s hard to imagine anyone is happy about Getafe and their result against Deportivo Alavés in the previous round. Despite being considered slightly stronger than their opponents and home-field advantage, they walked away with a single point in a 1:1 draw.

Levante lost their previous home game against Real Madrid with a considerably high 1:4 margin. Considering the overwhelming betting odds they were up against, though, the fact that they spent most of the match on the back foot is not too surprising.

The home team’s tendency to see their defence crumble under the pressure of away games is worrying – they conceded more than 5 times over the previous 3 away games. The fact that they’re at Coliseum Alfonso Pérez this Saturday makes things easier for them, but not by a lot.

Given 6 goals conceded in their own net over the past 3 matches, Levante's defensive line is much to be desired.

The home team are hoping to keep up the string of successes that landed them just 8 points below the league’s best-placed team. It’s only round 7, though, so staying there will be a real challenge.

Though it’s hard to say Levante started the season on a strong note, their fairly decent table position is at risk. Beating Getafe will be no easy task – but it’s a necessary step if they ever wish to reach the Europa qualifying spots.

Both teams will be able to field their strongest lineups this Saturday, with no injuries or suspensions to worry about.

We can say with no small amount of confidence that this match will confirm the Over 2.5 Goals market. Both teams fit the bill for such a wager perfectly, so this is a very safe bet, offered at the odds of 2.51 at Pncl.
