Deportivo Alaves and Getafe kick off their LaLiga campaigns on Saturday 15th August 2026 at 17:30, with the hosts currently occupying fifth spot and the visitors sitting ninth in the standings ahead of this opening-day clash at the home of the Basque side.
Deportivo Alaves vs Getafe Form
The hosts head into the season opener following a 1-1 friendly draw against Racing Santander, which they ultimately won on penalties. Looking back at their last six matches across all competitions, the home side has experienced a mixed run of form, including a 3-0 friendly win over Castellon and a 1-0 defeat to Girona, alongside two defeats to close out their previous league campaign. Meanwhile, the visitors secured a respectable 1-1 draw against Tottenham in their most recent outing. The away side's general form has been equally varied, with pre-season results featuring a 1-0 loss to Monaco and a 2-1 victory over Tenerife. Crucially, the visitors remain undefeated in 13 of their last 14 matches against the hosts in all competitions, while there have been under 2.5 goals scored in eight of Getafe's last nine games in LaLiga.

The visitors have dominated this fixture recently, winning four of the last six encounters, while the hosts have managed just a single victory—a narrow 1-0 home win in May 2024. Tight, low-scoring affairs are the norm when these sides clash, as Alaves have seen under 2.5 goals in their last eight home matches against Getafe in all competitions.

Deportivo Alaves vs Getafe Probable Lineups
Deportivo Alaves (3-5-2): Sivera; Otto, Koski, Tenaglia; Enriquez, Blanco, Aleñá, Ibáñez, Pérez; Mañas, Martínez
Getafe (3-4-2-1): Soria; Dakonam, Romero, Abqar; Davinchi, Mangala, Martín, Femenía; Garcia, Terrats; Satriano
The hosts' 3-5-2 formation will rely heavily on a compact midfield trio of Blanco, Aleñá, and Ibáñez to disrupt the visitors' build-up play. However, Getafe's 3-4-2-1 setup offers superior width, where wing-backs Davinchi and Femenía could exploit Alaves' defensive flanks. The match will likely be decided in transition, with Alaves needing Martínez to be clinical against Getafe's disciplined back three led by Dakonam.
Deportivo Alaves vs Getafe Team News
The home team has just one major injury concern ahead of the curtain-raiser, with forward Boye remaining a doubt after picking up a pre-season knock. For the visitors, Uche is set to miss out through injury, while Juanmi remains sidelined until November with a knee injury.

Prediction: Deportivo Alaves 1-1 Getafe
Alaves finished just one point above the relegation zone last season and will be desperate for a more comfortable campaign this time around. Getafe, despite scoring only 32 goals last term, secured an impressive seventh-place finish to qualify for Europe. Given both sides' defensive setups and Getafe's historic struggles in front of goal, a tight, hard-fought 1-1 draw is the most likely outcome.
