Deportivo Alaves are back in action with another La Liga match this weekend as they take on Getafe on Saturday. Both teams have struggled this season and have a point to prove in this match.
Getafe are in 19th place in the La Liga standings and are set to face a relegation battle this season. The Madrid-based outfit held Athletic Bilbao to a 0-0 stalemate last week and will want to take it up a notch in this game.
Deportivo Alaves, on the other hand, are in 17th place in the league table at the moment and will need to work hard to move up the standings. The Basques suffered a 2-1 defeat against Granada in their previous game and will need to bounce back in this fixture.
Deportivo Alaves vs Getafe Head-to-Head
Deportivo Alaves and Getafe are on an even footing as far as the head-to-head record is concerned and have won three games apiece out of a total of six matches played between the two teams.
The previous meeting between the two La Liga outfits took place in January this year and ended in a 0-0 stalemate. Both teams wasted chances on the day and will need to be ruthless this weekend.
