This Friday, La Liga go see Getafe try to bounce back from two straight defeats as dem dey face Elche for their home ground. Both teams dey jostle for better position for table, but not be like say dem dey run race, abeg. Getafe dey sit for seventh position with 17 points from 13 matches, while Elche dey follow behind for tenth position with 16 points. Na so the drama start!
Getafe don experience mix feelings this season, with five wins, two draws, and six losses for dem 13 league matches. I mean, dem even flex their muscles with a crazy 11-0 win over Inter de Valdemoro for Copa del Rey (no be small matter oh). But recently, dem don feel the pressure as dem lose to Mallorca and Atletico Madrid, both 1-0. Na why dem go dey push to avoid third straight loss this weekend.
On the other hand, Elche don show say dem fit hustle well. Dem just come off a strong performance where dem draw 2-2 with Real Madrid, wey dem almost beat if no be Jude Bellingham wey come spoil the gist (Na wah!). Elche don manage 3 wins, 7 draws, and 3 losses so far this season. Dem no fit win for away games yet, but dem dey hold their ground well for home.
As dem dey prepare for Friday night clash, Getafe dey face some body issues wahala. Davinchi and Yvan Neyou go miss the match because dem still dey heal from injury. Plus, three of their players – Abdel Abqar, Mario Martin, and Luis Milla – go sit down for sidelines because dem pick up yellow cards recently (like dem dey deliberate abeg!). E mean say some fresh faces go enter field like Kiko Femenia, Javier Munoz, and Juanmi.
For Elche side, dem go welcome back Pedro Bigas wey just recover from injury (abeg, no vex for him!). But Victor Chust go miss out due to red card wey e catch against Real Madrid. Josan still no fit play due to muscular issues. But dem dey plan to keep the same squad wey show good performance last week.
The previous encounters between these two teams don dey interesting. Out of 20 matches, Getafe don win 6 times, Elche don win 4 times, and 10 of dem don end draw. Last time dem meet, na 1-1 dem draw. With the kind form wey both team dey show, e fit be any kind score na! Game weekend go sweet!”
We fit expect tight contest, but with Getafe’s defense and Elche’s attacking flair, we go dey watch closely for some magic. Place your bets wisely, my padi! No forget to grab your palm wine for the action!
