Getafe Stats & Form
Getafe barely escaped relegation last season. They finished in 15th place with 39 points, only one more than the relegation zone. Getafe failed to win a single game in the last 5 rounds which could have been very costly for them.
To make things even more difficult, they lost to Elche in the last round and stayed in the top division only because of the results of the other teams.
Getafe spent only one million euros in the summer transfer window as they signed Domingos Duarte from Granada. They also acquired Jaime Seoane from Huesca and Fabrizio Angileri from Boca Juniors on free transfers.
The team made a great deal selling left back Mathias Olivera to Napoli for €11 million.
Getafe possible lineup: Soria, Akurugu, Angileri, Silva, Mitrovic, Alena, Maksimovic, Iglesias, Arambarri, Mata, Portu
