Introduction

As we look forward to another thrilling encounter in La Liga, Las Palmas is set to host Getafe at Estadio de Gran Canaria in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria on December 1st, 2023. This mid-week fixture pits two teams against each other in what promises to be a closely contested match.

Match Analysis

When browsing through the statistics of the last ten outings for both Las Palmas and Getafe, it becomes apparent that we have two teams with contrasting fortunes. Las Palmas has had a slew of mixed results with a current form that reads "LDWWL," which includes key victories against Atlético Madrid and a tough loss to Real Betis. Las Palmas has scored 11 goals in their last ten matches, conceding 7, which points towards a decent defensive record but a potential need for improvement upfront.

Getafe's recent form has been more consistent with a "WDWDD" record. They have managed to net a total of 23 goals in their last ten encounters while conceding 10. The staggering 12-0 victory in the Copa del Rey against Tardienta provides a significant boost to their goal count. Their stats suggest that they have a relatively potent attack but sometimes struggle to translate that into victories.

Recent form

In the recent games, Las Palmas has shown resilience at home, winning four of the five last matches played at Estadio de Gran Canaria. They win 40% of their recent fixtures, draw 10%, and lose 50%, demonstrating a level of unpredictability in their performances.

Meanwhile, Getafe seems to be hard to beat, with no losses in their last five games, winning 40%, and drawing an impressive 60% of their recent matches. The team has not only scored in all but one of their last ten games but has also shown a commendable defensive structure, conceding only one goal or less in the majority of these outings.

Head to Head

• Two of the last four encounters have ended in favor of Getafe.
• Las Palmas has won decisively in one of the recent head-to-head matches.
• One match ended in a commanding 4-0 victory for Las Palmas, while Getafe has won with a narrow margin when victorious.
• The last meeting between the two resulted in a win for Getafe.

Overall, Getafe has a 50% win rate in the head-to-head encounters, Las Palmas has a 25% win rate, and 25% of the matches have ended in draws.

Prediction

Given the current standing of both teams, with Getafe ranked 8th and Las Palmas not far behind at 11th, and considering their recent form, this match could potentially be a tight affair. Las Palmas seems to struggle to hit the net as frequently as Getafe, but their home advantage could play a pivotal role.

For the betting tip, a cautious approach might be prudent. The game could see under 2.5 goals, as Las Palmas' home record indicates they might not concede many, and their attack might not be prolific enough to score a lot. Both teams to score can be a risky bet considering Las Palmas' inconsistent goal-scoring record recently.

An Asian handicap might favor Getafe with a (+0.5) start, providing a buffer due to their recent streak of not losing matches. Considering the halftime/fulltime scenario, a draw at halftime could be a valuable bet, anticipating a level match at the start but with the possibility of Getafe edging it in the second half due to their attacking prowess.

Prediction: Las Palmas 1 - 1 Getafe
Betting tip: Under 2.5 goals
