These two are lodged down in the bottom half of the Spanish top flight and only three points separate them. Getafe are the ones ahead with the slight advantage and so this would be a good chance for them to put further distance between themselves and the bunch at the bottom. However, despite being ahead of them and despite Espanyol being out of form at the moment as well having lost back to back games, the visitors are still heavy underdogs at 29/10 with Espanyol 11/10 to collect the home win.

Espanyol
FC GetafeEspanyol Form
Espanyol have lost their last two league games, failing to score in either of them as well. It means they have only scored the two goals in their last six league games in total. On home soil in La Liga they have picked up a W3 D1 L2 record and two of those three wins were by a one-goal margin only. They are not a high-scoring side with just the nine goals all season but at least seven of those have been at home. Under 1.5 goals should have some major appeal at 7/4 for the fixture. They do have back to back clean sheets on home soil going into this one. Only 50% of their home games this season have gone over 1.5 goals.
Getafe Form
Getafe are running on a bit of positive form with a four-match undefeated streak going in the Spanish top flight. However, their away form has seen them fail to win any of their four on the road and they have only taken the one away victory all season (W1 D4 L1). There is a considerable difference between themselves and Espanyol in the goalscoring department and Getafe have netted ten goals more than their opponents have. They are averaging just over a goal per game out on their travels so far and have only been behind once at the break. They are five points better off than they were at this stage last season and have every chance of getting something out of this game.
Head to Head News
These two traded home wins the last time that they were together in the top flight which was in the 2015/16 season. Getafe have only lost two of their last six games overall against Espanyol (W3 D1 L2) but they have lost their last two away to them without netting a goal. In the overall head to head Espanyol are 11-10 up with the seven drawn matches.
Top Betting Tips
Because Espanyol are not scoring goals at the moment, Getafe have to be worth a flutter on Monday night. Even though they have struggled for wins out on the road there is some good appeal in a Getafe-Draw Double Chance wager in this one.
