Getafe - LWLDDW
Mauro Arambarri (Cruciate ligament surgery) and Borja Mayoral (Meniscus injury) won’t be available for Getafe boss José Bordalás.
We think that Azulones should make use of the 4-4-2 system for this game, beginning the first half with David Soria, Jose Angel Carmona, Djene, Omar Alderete, Diego Rico, Luis Milla, Ilaix Moriba, Nemanja Maksimovic, Oscar Rodriguez, Mason Greenwood and Jaime Mata.
Getafe will be looking for another win after the 1-3 La Liga success vs UD Almería. In that game, Getafe managed 45% possession and 8 shots at goal with 5 on target. For Getafe, the scorers were Mason Greenwood (27', 48') and Jaime Mata (61'). Almeria had 21 attempts on goal with 11 on target. Anthony Lozano (41') scored for UD Almería.
Their latest results show that quality has been evident in the Getafe backline. Getafe have kept it tight, seeing the tally of goals that have flown into the back of their net during their previous 6 games standing at 4.
Their prior results show that Getafe: haven't been beaten in the league by Athletic Bilbao in their previous 5 games, have left without a victory over Athletic Bilbao in their previous 7 matches in the league, are without a win at home for the past 2 league matches.
Athletic Bilbao - WLDDDL
Athletic Bilbao manager Ernesto Valverde has multiple availability issues to deal with. Yuri Berchiche (Ankle injury), Iñigo Ruiz de Galarreta (Hamstring injury), Dani Vivian (Lumbago) and Oihan Sancet (Hamstring injury) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.
It’s our belief that Los Leones will likely elect for a 4-2-3-1 lineup, giving starts to Unai Simon, Oscar de Marcos, Daniel Vivian, Yeray Alvarez, Inigo Lekue, Mikel Vesga, Benat Prados, Inaki Williams, Unai Gomez, Nico Williams and Gorka Guruzeta.
Since suffering a loss in their previous game against Atlético Madrid in La Liga competition, Athletic Bilbao and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.
In that game, Athletic Bilbao had 58% possession and 7 shots on goal with 1 of them on target. For Athletic Bilbao, the goalscorers were Nico Williams (45') and Unai Simón (80' Own goal). At the other end, Atletico Madrid got 8 attempts at goal with 3 of them on target. Rodrigo De Paul (15') and Ángel Correa (52') scored for Atlético Madrid.
The stats don’t lie, and Athletic Bilbao have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, seeing opposing sides hit 8 goals overall. In defence, Athletic Bilbao could really do with shoring things up. Let’s see if that trend will be continued on in this game.
Looking at their past form shows that Athletic Bilbao: have not won against Getafe in games played away from home for the previous 6 league games. Not the best of away records, haven't been beaten by Getafe when having played them away from home in the previous 4 league matches. A very good record, indeed, are without a win away from home in their last 2 matches in the league.
Getafe possible starting lineup:
Soria; Carmona, Dakonam, Alderete, Rico; Moriba, Milla; Greenwood, Maksimovic, Rodriguez; Mata
Athletic Bilbao possible starting lineup:
Simon; De Marcos, Vivian, Paredes, Lekue; Vesga, Benat; I Williams, Sancet, N Williams; Guruzeta

Prediction: Getafe 1-1 Athletic Bilbao
This fixture produces draws, plenty of them. On paper, Athletic are the favourites, but Getafe have been strong at home this season, while Athletic are inconsistent on their travels. It would not be a shock to see a home or indeed an away win, but we have had to settle on a low-scoring draw here.
