1.65Tip and bets
We believe that the game will be tough and tough, given the cup nature of the meeting and the cost of any mistake. We expect maximum fighting in the center of the field and little tension near the goal. In addition, there are problems in the opponents' creativity, which will make a more realistic scenario of a defensive game, which will bring a maximum of 1-2 goals scored. In addition, this is how the last five face-to-face meetings ended.
Our forecast is total under 2.5 goals and we bet on it with odds of 1.89
Bet on the outcome
Granada has a fairly organized defense and knows how to use its chances in attack, which has repeatedly helped them play successfully against opponents of the level of Getafe. An important point is the away form of the capital team, which, despite the difficult conditions, is able to impose its style of play. Considering the instability of the hosts and their problems in creation, a bet on Getafe with a handicap (0) looks justified, especially since the Blues represent the top division.
Forecast - Asian handicap (0) on Getafe and we bet on it for 1.75
Bet on corners
Both teams are likely to take a cautious approach to the game, focusing on defensive play and minimising mistakes. Getafe and Granada have not been particularly good at taking corners this season, especially against evenly matched opponents. It is important to note that in four of the last five meetings between these clubs, the total number of corners has not exceeded eight. This reflects not only the style of play of the teams, but also their inability to create dangerous moments in the opponent’s penalty area on a regular basis.
Our prediction is total under 8.5 corners with odds of 1.96
