At Mendizorrotza on 8 February 2026, Alavés host Getafe in a La Liga fixture where momentum and confidence clearly favour the home side. Alavés arrive after a positive run in the league that has pushed them into mid-table, while Getafe continue to struggle badly, hovering just above the relegation zone and still searching for solutions in attack.
Alavés have finally found some consistency in La Liga. For the first time this season, Alavés have recorded back-to-back league victories, a sequence that has significantly improved their position in the standings. Although they suffered a painful 3-2 home defeat to Real Sociedad in the Copa del Rey during the week, that result should not overshadow their generally strong home performances. In league play, Alavés have been reliable at Mendizorrotza, most recently beating Betis 2-1, and home losses remain a rarity this season.
Prediction: Double Chance – 1/2
This matchup points toward Alavés avoiding defeat. With Getafe offering little attacking threat and Alavés showing growing confidence at home, the double chance in favour of the hosts (Alavés win or draw) represents the safest and most logical option.
Alavés’ Home Stability Provides an Edge
Alavés have built their recent progress on structure and discipline, particularly at home. Alavés are comfortable absorbing pressure and striking at the right moments, a style that has served them well against stronger opponents. Even after midweek cup disappointment, their league form suggests they remain mentally stable and capable of managing games against direct rivals.
Getafe’s Offensive Struggles Deepen the Crisis
Getafe continue to sink deeper into trouble. Getafe have failed to win any of their last ten matches in regular time and remain among the lowest-scoring teams in the league, with only Oviedo finding the net less often. Despite back-to-back draws, there has been little improvement in attacking sharpness, making it difficult to see how they consistently threaten organised defenses.
