Draw specialists Espanyol could climb out of the Primera Division drop zone when they take on Getafe at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez.

Separated by just three points in a tightly-packed bottom half of the table, a tight contest seems likely, with neither side showing much winning form in recent months.

Getafe vs Espanyol Betting Tips: Draw

Espanyol comes into this match with a remarkable record of drawn matches this season, with eight draws from 16 matches, including seven in their last 10 league outings.

When leaving Catalonia, Espanyol are especially difficult to beat, with five of eight matches finishing deadlocked. Unfortunately, a lack of victories - just two all season - leaves the visitors inside the drop zone with 14 points collected from 16 games played.

More recently, the visitors have shown some sign of improvement with a come-from-behind extra-time victory against Celta in the Copa del Rey. Unfortunately, the Catalans couldn´t back that win up with three league points, having been pegged back late in the day against local rivals Girona. 

Hosts Getafe have also struggled for wins, with just two in their last 10 league outings, with their 2:0 win against Mallorca a fortnight ago ending a four-match winless streak at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez.

With little to choose between these struggling sides, we expect a tight contest where goal-scoring chances are likely to be at a premium. With three of their last five meetings finishing level and Espanyol seeing so many draws in recent weeks, another share of the spoils could represent the value pick for this Primera Division matchup.
