Getafe

The stage is set for an enthralling La Liga encounter as Getafe and Athletic Bilbao lock horns in a battle that could have major implications on the European places. Both sides have shown glimpses of brilliance this season, but inconsistency has plagued their respective campaigns, leaving everything to play for in this hotly anticipated clash. Getafe go into the game on the back of a morale-boosting 3-1 victory over Almeria, a result that snapped a concerning run of four games without a win.

The grandstands of Getafe’s Coliseum Alfonso Pérez are set to witness an enthralling clash as the home side welcomes the might of second-placed Girona. While the Catalans have their sights firmly locked on an improbable La Liga title, José Bordalas’ men are embroiled in a tenacious scrap to secure a respectable mid-table finish. At first glance, the chasm between the two sides’ ambitions this season appears vast. However, the unpredictable nature of Spain’s top flight has repeatedly reminded us that any notion of a foregone conclusion is swiftly punished.
