Team News

Athletic Club
Getafe
  • Athletic Club are missing their first-choice goalkeeper and Spain's number one, Unai Simón, as well as second-choice goalkeeper Julen Agirrezabala. As a result, the third-choice goalkeeper, Alex Padilla, will have to start.
  • They are also without Euro winner Daniel Vivian, who started 31 games at center-back and was crucial for them having the second best defense in LaLiga last season.
  • New signing Álvaro Djaló could make his debut if he receives the green light.
  • Getafe are starting the season without a center forward as Jaime Mata and Dario Poveda left on free transfers, and Anthony Lozano, who was on loan last season, was sold to Liga MX side Santos Laguna. Last season's top scorer, Borja Mayoral, has not recovered from his meniscus injury.
  • Getafe have registered just 18 players for the upcoming season, they canceled one of their pre-season games due to lack of players available for selection.

Prediction

  • Athletic Club is poised to build on recent successes, aiming for a top-four finish. Key transfers like Gorosabel and Djalo have strengthened the squad, with Nico Williams likely to stay despite Barcelona links. Despite a mixed pre-season record (3 wins, 4 defeats), Athletic is gearing up for the upcoming season.
  • Athletic has a solid recent record at home against Getafe, losing just once in their last 10 LaLiga encounters, winning four and drawing five. However, their recent few games against Getafe have ended in draws.
  • Getafe is undergoing a significant player overhaul, losing key figures like Greenwood and Moriba but adding Letacek, Sola, and others. Rico's permanent return bolsters the squad. Despite reinforcements, Getafe struggled in pre-season, winning only one of six matches. Their recent history against Athletic poses challenges, with no wins in the last eight encounters.
  • Getafe, missing their top three goal scorers from last season, won just one of six pre-season games, scoring only one goal.
  • Getafe faces a tough streak against Basque teams, failing to win in their last 13 LaLiga visits. Coach Jose Bordalás has yet to defeat Ernesto Valverde in their seven LaLiga meetings, with five losses and two draws.
