Getafe's home advantage and slightly better defensive record give them a slight edge in this encounter. However, Espanyol's recent form and ability to create scoring opportunities suggest they are a formidable opponent. A key factor to watch during the game will be Espanyol's ability to convert their chances, which could swing the game in their favor if Getafe's defense falters.
