Getafe and Málaga meet in a situation so similar it's worth watching. Both have just gone five matches without a win, and both lost their most recent game. The hosts lost at home 0-1, while the visitors lost away 1-3. This game is therefore a measure of which team can halt its slump first. Getafe have taken just a single point from their last three league games, and have scored only 3 goals across their last six matches. Their attack still isn't sharp enough to close out games, but their defence hasn't been so poor as to concede all over the place. Málaga are worse off on the numbers, having conceded 11 goals in six matches, and a 0-4 defeat is confirmation that their back line still has gaps that are easy to exploit. This is likely to be a cautious game, with neither side daring to open up and trade blows at full tilt. If Getafe score first, Málaga will have to commit more players forward, which would turn the game from sitting back into chasing the ball. But if Málaga score first, the hosts will find it even harder because they aren't comfortable chasing a score.
