How Getafe go into the game
Getafe finished seventh last season on 51 points, another testament to their well-drilled, hard-to-beat approach. The Coliseum is one of the most awkward venues in the division.
Getafe are built on defensive solidity and set-piece threat rather than free-flowing football, which fits a game like this. Making home advantage count is the clear priority.
How Racing de Santander go into the game
Racing de Santander are back in La Liga after winning promotion from the Segunda, and this is the kind of tough away day that comes with the step up. Survival will be the season’s aim.
Keeping it tight against a stubborn Getafe side and staying in the game is the realistic plan. Anything from this trip would be a bonus for the promoted visitors.
