An absolutely outstanding season handed Getafe the direct entrance to the UEFA Europa League. The team from the Spanish capital has returned to the 2nd tier European competition after a long break of 8 seasons. So the European football nights return to the Coliseum Alfonso Perez Stadium after a long time when they face Trabzonspor. However, their 2nd home UEL match will take place in late October when they will welcome FC Basel. But just a few days prior to taking on the Swiss counterparts they will have to battle against Leganes in a game-day 09 fixture against Leganes. Nevertheless, after drawing back to back matches at the abode to start the home campaign, they will take part in their 5th home clash against Los Pepineros.
Conversely, it will be the 4th road game of the season for Deportivo Leganes. The Cucumber Growers started their season with hat-tricks of defeat. Neither their home campaign nor the away started according to the plan. So they will be keen to turn the things around, in their favor.

Predicted Result: Getafe 2 – 0 Leganes
Match Preview: Both the sides didn’t get the start they expected. But Leganes has got a worse start for sure. Both the sides are in badly need of points. So they will be looking for something good in this fixture.
In the last 5 meetings between the two sides, both the team managed to get 1 victory. The other 3 games ended in a dull draw. However, Getafe failed to beat Leganes since 2017. In fact, Leganes came out victorious in the very last meeting between them. They won an away game by a 2-0 margin at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez Stadium on that occasion. In addition to this, those five fixtures saw only 7 goals being scored! Thus, that indicates. maybe a lack of goals’ clash awaiting for the viewers.
Coming to the prophecy, I will keep Getafe ahead. I also back them to keep a clean sheet. Finally, my prediction is a 2-0 victory for them.
