Espanyol vs Getafe Prediction 18.04.2025 | La Liga

• Competition: Spain - La Liga
• Date: Friday, 18th, April 2025
• Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CEST
• Venue: RCDE Stadium (Cornella de Llobregat)

LaLiga's Gameweek 32 sets up a clash of contrasting ambitions, as struggling Espanyol welcome European hopefuls Getafe to the RCDE Stadium on Friday night.

The Catalan outfit managed to preserve a healthy six-point cushion above the drop zone thanks to a composed display in their routine 2-0 triumph at Celta Vigo, so they appear well-positioned to retain their top-flight status especially with a game in hand over Las Palmas who currently sit just below the line.

On the flip side, Getafe failed to make the most of Celta’s slip and close the gap to the European spots, having suffered a 3-1 home setback to Las Palmas who are battling for survival, but a late charge toward UEFA qualification still remains within reach as they trail the top seven by only four points.

Espanyol vs Getafe Betting Tips : DRAW

A draw could be a result neither side would frown upon, since Espanyol are focused on putting more daylight between themselves and the bottom three while Getafe remain locked in a push for continental qualification. The RCDE Stadium has gradually become a tough place to conquer in recent months, with Espanyol stretching their home unbeaten run to nine games after a gritty 1-1 draw against Atletico Madrid last time out here, even if six of those outings resulted in shared spoils. Since the turn of the calendar year, Getafe's away form in LaLiga has been nothing short of remarkable, as they've suffered just a single defeat and banked a flawless 18 out of 21 possible points across their first seven road trips, proving themselves to be among the top-performing visitors in 2025. On the downside, RCDE Stadium has proven to be one of the most daunting venues for Los Azulones, who haven’t managed to win a league match there in over a decade, so we feel Espanyol could deliver another gritty performance and earn a fourth consecutive draw at home.
