Getafe and Sporting Gijon both to win

Betfair Sportsbook are the focus today offering odds of 4.0 (3/1) on La Liga’s Getafe and La Liga 2 side Sporting Gijon both to win their games at lunchtime
Getafe are currently 14th in the league and are playing 18th place Alaves.
A win for Getafe would boost them into the top 10 whereas victory for Alaves would see them out of the relegation zone if only temporarily. Getafe have secured 10 points from the last 8 league games whereas Alaves have only managed to accumulate 4 points from the same number of games. Getafe, when playing at home, have only managed 1-0 victories in games played against teams lower than them in the league and losing one game 0-1 against Valladolid suggesting that goals do not come easy to them whereas Alaves do seem to be able to hit the back of the net while not being able to win as they have scored at least one goal in the last 6 league matches played. Their offensive strikes do put them above Getafe in that respect. Defensively however Getafe have conceded 23 goals in 19 matches played against Alaves 29 conceded goals in 20 matches. Upon reflection it would seem that Alaves are more hungry to stay in the league than getafe want to climb and would not be surprised if the match ended 1-1
Onto the second half of the bet which comes from La Liga 2 and involves 2 sides from opposite ends of the league. Sporting Gijon are currently 5th with 36 points only 1 point behind Rayo Vallecano. Cartagena on the other hand are languishing in 21st place only being buoyed up from bottom spot by a game in hand. Playing at home Sporting Gijon are quite formidable earning 25 points from 11 games whereas Cartagena do seem to be struggling when away fixtures have only secured them 9 points from the same number of matches. Defensively Cartagena don’t seem to be able to prevent goals being scored letting in 33 goals this season. The probable outcome of this match will be a home win but would be very wary of Getafe being able to pull off a victory today.
Upon reflection I don’t think putting any money on this double would be profitable and will be keeping my money in my pocket.
