Alaves vs Getafe prediction: team news, lineups, expert analysis
LaLiga Spain
In the opening round of the Spanish La Liga on August 15, 2026, Alaves will face Getafe. The hosts will try to claim victory, but the visitors have similar ambitions.
Alaves vs Getafe: Team News and Expert Analysis
The club from Vitoria has gradually established itself in La Liga. The departure of Coudet to River Plate in early March could have been a blow, but he was replaced by the experienced Quique Sánchez Flores. Under his guidance, the team managed to win a fiercely contested battle for survival. They finished fourteenth, just ahead of relegated Mallorca and Girona by one and two points, respectively.
The team from the Madrid suburbs, under the same manager, Bordalás, has previously qualified for European competitions. In the 2025/2026 season, they largely repeated that achievement. With a narrow margin, 51 to 50 points ahead of Rayo Vallecano, they finished seventh and will now play in the Conference League.
Last season, Alenya and his teammates averaged 1.16 goals scored per game and conceded 1.47. The visitors from the capital remained characteristically pragmatic, even ending with a negative balance: scoring only 0.84 goals per match and conceding exactly one per round.
Previous Matches: Alaves vs Getafe
Bordalás’s side have won three of the last four head-to-head meetings, with one draw.
This is unlikely to be the most entertaining match, to put it mildly. We predict "total under 2.0 goals" (odds – 1.60).
