Getafe vs. Oviedo: Match Prediction
The team from the Madrid suburbs is very dangerous on the road, where they tend to win more often than at home. This was evident in the opening rounds. However, at home, they struggle to achieve good results as they have to open up, which opponents exploit. In their last 10 home La Liga matches, Getafe has suffered 7 defeats, drawn twice, and won only once.
Their inability to pick up points at home is due to their weak attacking play. In their last 25 home La Liga matches, Getafe has managed to score more than 1 goal in only 3 games. Oviedo has only played away against Villarreal in La Liga, conceding just two goals against the strong Valencian side. In Segunda, they allowed only 2 goals in just 1 of their last 12 away matches. It's likely that the hosts will struggle to score more than once in this encounter.
My prediction: Getafe individual total under 1.5
