Getafe will make their return to La Liga after spending last season in Segunda. Getafe had been a fixture in La Liga until finishing 19th and getting relegated two years ago. They didn’t take long to get back into the top Spanish League, as they won in the Segunda playoffs last season. Jose Bordalas did a nice job with Getafe last season in leading the team back to La Liga and he will now get his chance to manage in the top league after more than 20 years in the lower divisions. Getafe made some nice moves in the off-season, getting goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, midfielder Markel Bergara, forward Faycal Fajr, and defender Mathias Olivera.

Odds To Win La Liga: +5000 (Field)
Odds To Be Relegated: -110
Getafe is no threat to win La Liga, so it is all about survival for the Azulones in 2017-2018. The team has a decent chance to stay up, as they have Jorge Molina who had 20 goals in 39 games last season. The addition of Fajr and Bergara should also help.

Getafe 2017-18 Predictions
Why can’t Getafe avoid relegation in 2017-2018? They had been in La Liga for 12 straight seasons until being relegated two years ago. There are a number of team at the bottom of La Liga who are relegation candidates, so Getafe will have chances to get wins this season. There is no doubt that Getafe can score, as they have Molina who has proven he can score at this level. The key for Getafe will be their defense and play in goal. The addition of Martinez from Arsenal is a huge one, as he gives them potentially a solid number one.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said that the team is very high on Martinez and that they want him to get playing time this season. Martinez still believes he can win the No. 1 job with the Gunners. "I'm always trying to improve myself. If you want to play for Arsenal or be at the top level for many years, that's what you need to do," he told the club's website.
Getafe doesn’t have enough talent for an upper level finish in La Liga but they could have enough to avoid relegation this season. It won’t be easy but Getafe is definitely not the normal bottom feeder that comes into La Liga with no chance to win. The team has plenty of experience and a 14th or 15th place finish in 2017-2018 is not of the question for the Azulones.
