Chess game on the cards at Estadio Mendizorroza
The odds suggest that this Saturday's LaLiga 2026-2027 clash between Deportivo Alaves and Getafe should have the home side in control, but we think Deportivo Alaves vs Getafe preview could be a real battle and the visitors could take the spoils.
Alaves' 2.32 favorite's price is certainly on the short side of what the market should be, but Getafe's odds of 3.5 are perhaps generous, given they have won 2 of their last 3 visits to Alaves, while the draw comes in at 2.82.
So we're going to avoid a home win in the betting and opt for the Under 2.5 line in the total goals market - priced at 1.38 - and Both Teams to Score - No, 1.55 as our two main bets on this match, with our Deportivo Alaves vs Getafe betting tips focused on the lower-scoring angles.
Getafe will look to stifle Alaves' attacking surge
Back-to-back away defeats will not have endeared Getafe to their traveling fans, but the 4-1 loss at Atletico Madrid and 1-0 loss to AS Monaco were followed by a gritty 0-0 draw away to Tottenham in midweek, which will have given the Madrid-based club plenty of confidence ahead of this fixture.
Getafe are a press-to-counter side that can look very sharp when playing at the right tempo, but Jose Bordalas' 4-4-2 system is also geared to create chaos and duel aggressively for the second balls.
Quique Sanchez Flores' Alaves like to set up a compact 5-3-2 system to stifle opponents and then hit on the counter-attack with long, vertical passes to exploit the space in behind. The coach's tactical flexibility does allow them to play more openly in 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1 formations and we see this being a chess match over turnovers and second balls, which is why our Deportivo Alaves vs Getafe prediction leans toward caution.
Alaves are a balanced side with momentum
Three straight wins have put Alaves in good stead coming into this match and their overall recent record of 6 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats from the last 10 in all competitions is excellent. Their two most recent results were a 3-0 home victory over Castellon and a 1-1 draw away to Racing Santander, which they won on penalties, showing the team are able to control games and play at pace while also being able to withstand pressure.
Getafe have won only 1 of their last 5, with 2 defeats and 2 draws, and that sequence does not indicate they have the momentum or fluency to come away with all 3 points here. Getafe's away record in all competitions is 1 win, 3 draws and 3 losses from 7 matches, and they are averaging only 0.43 goals on the road, having only managed to score 3 times.
Therefore, this looks like a tough, low-scoring game with Alaves having the edge due to superior form and the attacking flair of player Mariano Diaz, who has scored two goals in their last five matches, while Getafe can stay in the game on the back of another clean sheet. A 1-0 or 2-0 type result looks the best fit in this market, but we will take the Under 2.5 option as the sharpest bet, and our final pick is a narrow home win or draw.
