The head-to-head record suggests a footballing chess match. However, I have a different opinion on this match.
Espanyol is currently in good form, with recent victories over Rayo Vallecano, Celta Vigo, and Sevilla. However, a rather unexpected 0-1 defeat in the Copa del Rey Round of 32 against the Baleares was a surprise.
Getafe is currently going through a difficult period, failing to pick up a single point in three of their last four league matches.
Under Coach Jimenez's management, they lost to Mallorca, Atletico, and Villarreal. The visitors' attack has beaten their opponents' goalkeepers in each of their last three matches, and the club itself sits in a respectable fifth place in the league table. In matches at Getafe's stadium, three of their last six matches have been conceded.
However, in the home side's last eight home matches, they have failed to score just twice.
