Getafe vs Alavés: Kickoff Time, No Away Fans Allowed at Coliseum
LaLiga clash between Getafe and Alavés sees fan restrictions and rising tension before kickoff.
Madrid, September 24 EST: The Coliseum Alfonso Pérez is set to crackle tonight, but it will be a one-sided storm. Only Getafe’s own faithful will fill the stands, their chants bouncing off the concrete, unchallenged. No traveling Alavés fans, no northern songs, no defiance from the away end. Renovations at the stadium have slammed the door shut on visiting supporters, and that means the Babazorros step into Madrid without a single friendly voice. For their fans back home, it’s a bitter pill, the kind of night you dream of following your team, only to be locked out.
Coliseum Becomes A Cage
Getafe thrives on this kind of edge. This club has never been about beauty; it’s about fight. The Coliseum is their cage, their trench, a place where even giants walk away battered. And now, stripped of away voices, the sound will be all blue. Every blocked cross, every crunching tackle, every whistle against Alavés will get magnified, and that’s how Getafe like it.
Alavés know this routine. They’ve stood in louder stadiums and faced richer squads, but the truth is hard to dodge. Against Getafe in LaLiga, their record is miserable: two wins in sixteen meetings. The rest is a swamp of draws and defeats, games that slipped away with a single mistake or were strangled by Getafe’s relentless defense.
History Doesn’t Win Matches
That’s the weight hanging over tonight’s kickoff at 7 p.m. local time. Getafe will try to turn the clock back, slow the game down, grind it into their style of football, a game of collisions, interruptions, and frustration. But football doesn’t read history books. A mistimed tackle, a keeper’s fumble, one perfect through ball, and suddenly the old script is ripped apart.
Alavés can’t afford to wait. They’ll need to sprint at defenders, take risks, and test Getafe’s backline before the crowd’s rhythm takes over. If they sit deep and play safe, they’ll drown. Because here, every lost ball gets cheered like a goal, every Alavés attack that fizzles out will feel like a victory lap for the home side.
Ángel Torres Stirs The Pot
Off the pitch, the fire’s already been lit. Ángel Torres, Getafe’s outspoken president, has taken aim at the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), accusing officials of threatening the club with sanctions if they didn’t release Álex Liso for Spain’s U-20 call-up. Classic Torres. Straight-talking, combative, never shy of a fight.
Maybe it’s politics, maybe it’s posturing. Either way, it feeds into the Coliseum’s atmosphere. Fans see their president standing up for the club, and that anger, that underdog energy, turns into noise. And once the noise builds here, it rarely fades.
A Clash Built On Friction
So the stage is set. No Alavés banners in the corner, no chants to rally behind, just the full weight of Getafe’s house pressing down. It’s not fair, but football rarely is. That’s why upsets taste so sweet.
Getafe hold the edge in history, they hold the edge in the stands, but the ball still has to roll. And on nights like these, when tempers flare and patience gets tested, the game can twist in an instant.
The Coliseum will shake, sparks will fly, and by the final whistle, either Getafe will be celebrating another night in their fortress or Alavés will be grinning at the sweetest kind of robbery.
