Getafe Team Preview

Getafe will be determined to respond after losing 3-0 to Alaves in their opening league fixture. All three goals were conceded after Kiko Femenia received a red card.

Despite that setback, Getafe enter this fixture after recording a 3-1 victory in European competition during the week. They finished seventh in La Liga last season and have made significant changes to their squad during the summer.

Getafe will be without Juanmi and Christantus Uche through injury, while Femenia is suspended. Enes Unal and Martin Satriano could feature in attack.

Racing Santander Team Preview

Racing Santander returned to La Liga after winning the second division last season and made an encouraging start with a 2-2 draw against Villarreal.

Racing actually established a two-goal advantage before Villarreal responded, but earning a point against strong opposition represented a positive return to top-flight football.

Pedro Felipe is unavailable through injury, but the visitors otherwise have a strong group available and could retain much of the lineup from their opening fixture.
