Getafe — Girona : Match Preview and Prediction for October 31,2025

Team Overview: Getafe’s Form

Following their impressive 1-0 away win against Athletic and a dominant 11-0 victory over Inter Valdemoro in the Copa del Rey, Getafe prepares to face Girona. Girona currently sits at the bottom of the league table, having only narrowly progressed to the next stage of the cup competition.

Getafe’s Tactical Approach

Getafe showcased their resilient ‘bus’ defense at San Mamés, eventually breaking the deadlock in the 75th minute. Liso’s touch led to Simon’s save, which fell to Mayoral for an easy tap-in from three meters. Manager Bordalás employs a pragmatic style of football, proving effective in securing points with four wins and two draws in their last 10 league matches. While the Madrid club typically nets one goal per game, their defense has shown vulnerabilities, conceding 12 goals and making costly errors in three successive home fixtures.

Girona’s Form and Defensive Concerns

Girona experienced a dramatic 3-3 draw against Oviedo, squandering a 2-0 lead (Viñas from a penalty in the 38th, Rondón header after a corner) and conceding a late goal in the 90+7 minute. Míchel’s side adopts an open, attacking style, having scored nine goals in their last four encounters, including three in their Copa del Rey victory over Constancia (3-2 AET). Despite their attacking prowess, Girona faces significant defensive challenges, having leaked 22 goals in 10 La Liga matches—the highest in the league. Even against a semi-amateur opponent in the cup, their defense showed notable weaknesses.

Key Match Prediction

At home, Getafe is expected to leverage their defensive discipline and counter-attacking strength to exploit Girona’s known defensive frailties. While the visitors are likely to generate scoring opportunities, Bordalás’s pragmatic approach is anticipated to secure a favorable outcome for Getafe. Therefore, I predict the home team will avoid defeat, with both sides finding the back of the net.
