In what would have scarcely been believable at the start of the season, Getafe currently occupy 4th place and the final Champions League spot in the Spanish top-flight ahead of more heralded teams like Sevilla and Valencia with just eight rounds of matches to go.

Even though they are yet to pull off a major scalp this season by beating one of the big boys, Getafe have consolidated on that by posting positive results against the lesser ranked teams.

The Azulones went on an impressive seven-match unbeaten run between February and March to further strengthen their grip on the fourth spot, although they have to look over their shoulders at an ever-improving Valencia who are on a 17 match unbeaten run themselves and are just one point behind Getafe alongside Sevilla.

Getafe's charge has been led by the impressive Jaime Mata who has scored 15 goals from 30 La Liga appearances and this form justifiably saw the 30-year-old win his first cap for Spain.
