Analyzing Getafe's Start to the Season

It has been a difficult start to the campaign for Getafe. With 16 points from 18 matches, the Azulones currently sit one point above the drop. Getafe have the third-best defensive record in LaLiga with just 15 goals conceded -- only Real Sociedad (13) and Atlético Madrid (12) have let in fewer -- but they also have the worst attack in Spain's top-flight with just 11 goals scored. After eight consecutive seasons in the premier division, they find themselves in peril of dropping down to the Segunda.
