The Matchday 38 clash in La Liga between Getafe and Celta will take place on May 24 at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez. Getafe vs. Celta: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Getafe
Pepe Bordalas' side secured their place in La Liga for the next season only in the last round. Playing away, the team unexpectedly defeated Mallorca 2-1. Before that, the club from the Madrid suburbs had a six-match losing streak in the league. As a result, the team has 42 points and sits 13th in the standings, with a five-point cushion from the nearest relegation zone rival.
- The club has a 15-match uncompromising streak in La Liga (6 wins and 9 losses).
- At least one team failed to score in 6 of Getafe's last 8 league games.
- The club has not won in 8 of their last 9 home matches in La Liga (2 draws and 6 losses).
Predicted lineup for Getafe (5-4-1)
David Soria – Allan Nyom, Diego Rico, Omar Alderete, Domingos Duarte, Juan Iglesias – Mauro Arambarri, Luis Milla, Ramon Terrats, Chrisantus Uche – Borja Mayoral.
Midfielder Luis Milla is out due to an accumulation of yellow cards.
Celta
The Galicians missed the chance to secure their spot in the Europa League in the last round. Claudio Giraldez's side suffered an unexpected home defeat to Rayo Vallecano (1-2). As a result, the club remains in 7th place, but now they are only one point ahead of two rivals who could leave Celta without European competition.
- The club's uncompromising streak in La Liga is eight matches (4 wins and 4 losses).
- At least three goals have been scored in 6 of Celta's last 8 La Liga games.
- Both teams scored in 8 of Celta's last 10 away league matches.
Predicted lineup for Celta (5-4-1)
Vicente Guaita – Yoel Lago, Oscar Mingueza, Javi Rodriguez, Marcos Alonso, Mihailo Ristic – Fran Beltran, Ilaix Moriba, Williot Swedberg, Fernando Gonzalez – Pablo Duran.

Match Prediction for Getafe vs. Celta
The hosts of the upcoming match, along with their fans, can breathe a sigh of relief as the team managed to break their long losing streak in the league and secure their place in La Liga for the next season with a round to spare. Getafe no longer has any tournament motivation, except that they might be interested in breaking another losing streak, this time at home. In La Liga, the club has failed to earn points in four consecutive home games.
Therefore, I am hesitant to suggest a straightforward victory for the Galicians in the upcoming match. The club from the Madrid suburb, buoyed by their recent win, might try to secure a victory on their home turf. I propose betting on the visitors' scoring potential, as they have a 10-match scoring streak away in La Liga. Notably, in their last four away league matches, Celta scored at least two goals three times, against tough opponents: Mallorca, Real Madrid, and Barcelona. Also, in their latest away game, the Galicians defeated Real Sociedad 1-0, a team with one of the best home defenses in the league.
My prediction – Celta individual total over 1.5
