Getafe vs Malaga Prediction and Preview – 18/09/15
La Liga preview – Getafe Vs Malaga prediction
Home side Getafe are still without Karim Yoda who, though, is closing in on a comeback after a lengthy injury absence. Playmaker Pablo Sarabia should be fit to start while loan striker Stefan Scepovic could start for the first time this season. Emiliano Velazquez could also be preferred in the back four as Getafe look to gain their first points of the season.
The away side is also expected to make a few changes as Nordin Amrabat and Charles should start up front for Malaga. Roque Santa Cruz, Ignacio Camacho and Welington are still out of action. Ricardo Horta should retain his place in midfield as the away side will look for their first goal of the La Liga season.
Possible Line-ups
Getafe: 4-2-3-1 formation: Guaita; Lago, Alexis, Velazquez, Suarez; Lacen, Medran; Rodriguez, Sarabia, Leon; Scepovic
Malaga: 4-4-2 formation: Kameni; Boka, Angeleri, Albentosa, Roasales; Carlos, Recio, Tissone, Horta; Amrabat, Charles

Prediction
Malaga are currently at the bottom of the La Liga with no points in its kitty. Fran Escriba has seen his team lose to Espanyol, Granada and Athletic Club scoring 2 and conceding 6 goals in the process. They would be eager to open their points tally or run the risk of staying at the bottom and fighting relegation battle.
Malaga may have 2 points but are yet to score a goal this campaign. Goal-less draws at Sevilla and Eibar coupled with a 0-1 loss to defending champions Barcelona, put them in joint 15th position. Java Gracia has Kameni to thank for the points who with his exploits has been the pillar of strength.
Getafe is formidable at home although they are in the midst of a wretched run. The presence of Kameni should be enough for Malaga to snatch a point this time.
