Alaves vs Getafe: Under 2.5 goals
Alaves and Getafe both sit on an expected‑goals line of 1.35, while the model splits the match‑result odds evenly at 37.1% each and a 25.8% draw. The probability of over 2.5 goals is only marginally higher than the under, at 50.6% versus 49.4%.
Both sides arrive with mixed recent form – Alaves have recorded two wins, two losses and a draw in their last five league outings, while Getafe have earned seven points from a win, a draw and two defeats. The fixture pits a home side that has struggled to find the net consistently against an away side that has shown a knack for tight, low‑scoring results.
Robbo's Verdict
The model assigns a 49.4% chance to the total staying below 2.5, and recent form plus head‑to‑head trends reinforce the likelihood of a low‑scoring encounter.
Show the maths
With Alaves averaging 1.35 expected goals and Getafe averaging 1.35, the model gives a 54.9% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 45.1% it gives to at least one side being kept out.
Show the maths
Combined expected goals of 2.7 (Alaves 1.35 + Getafe 1.35) points to an open game, with the model giving Over 2.5 Goals a 50.6% chance against 49.4% for Under.
Show the maths
Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Alaves at 37.1%, the draw at 25.8%, and Getafe at 37.1% to win.
The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-1 at 12.2% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Alaves
Alaves opened the five‑game stretch with a 2‑4 loss at home to Athletic Club, then settled for a 1‑1 draw away at Elche. Their two subsequent wins came 1‑0 against Barcelona at home and 1‑0 away to Oviedo, before a 1‑2 home defeat to Rayo Vallecano. The mix of a high‑scoring loss and two clean‑sheet victories shows they can both concede and keep games tight, which supports a low total goal outlook for this pick.
Getafe
Getafe began with a 0‑0 away draw at Oviedo, followed by a 3‑1 home win over Mallorca. They then slipped to a 0‑1 loss away at Elche and bounced back with 1‑0 victories at home against Osasuna. The pattern of tight defensive displays (0‑0, 0‑1, 1‑0) signals a propensity for low‑scoring matches, aligning with the under‑2.5 goal selection.
Head-to-Head
In the last five meetings, four games finished with fewer than three goals – 0‑2, 1‑1, 0‑1, 2‑0 and 1‑0 – underscoring a clear under‑2.5 trend that backs the pick.
