Alaves vs Getafe Prediction 15 August 2026
Added on 10 August, 2026
Alaves and Getafe will meet in the opening round of La Liga on August 15, with both teams entering the new campaign after mixed pre-season results. The main betting angle is the total goals market, as both sides have shown enough attacking potential to produce at least two goals.
Alaves have enjoyed a strong preparation period, remaining unbeaten in their last four matches. They defeated Racing Santander (1-1, 7-6 on penalties), Castellon (3-0), and Girona (1-0), while drawing with Eibar (1-1). Their only recent defeat came against Rayo Vallecano (1-2) in the final round of last season. Alaves have scored in four of their last five matches, suggesting they should be capable of contributing to the total at home.
Getafe have produced less consistent results but have also been involved in several matches with goals. They drew with Tottenham (1-1) in their latest friendly after losing to Monaco (0-1) and Atletico Madrid (1-4). Earlier, they drew with Valladolid (0-0) and defeated Tenerife (2-1). Getafe's attacking output has been uneven, but their defensive approach can also create opportunities for opponents when they are forced to chase the game.
This matchup could produce an open contest, particularly because it is the first league game of the season. Alaves have shown better attacking consistency during pre-season, while Getafe conceded four against Atletico and should face pressure away from home. At the same time, the visitors have enough quality to contribute to the scoring if Alaves take the initiative.
Both teams have reasons to start the season aggressively, and the recent results suggest that a two-goal outcome is realistic. Alaves have scored consistently, while Getafe have demonstrated that they can find the net against strong opposition.
