Getafe will take on Eibar at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez on Sunday in matchday 35 of La Liga.
Eibar are languishing at the bottom of the La Liga standings, having accumulated just 26 points from 34 games during this campaign.
Even a draw would not do them a favor. José Luis Mendilibar's men will have to collect all three points away from home if they want to keep their hopes of survival alive.
Getafe are in a slightly better position, with a tally of 34 points from the same number of matches played. They are 15th in the table, but only three points away from safety, making this a must-win encounter for them as well.
Getafe vs Eibar Head-to-Head
In the head-to-head stakes, Getafe have the upper hand, having won seven games out of 19. Eibar have managed to win only three matches, while nine have ended up in stalemates.
In the last league encounter between the two teams, Eibar's Kike was sent off in the 88th minute in a game which ended in a 0-0 draw.
Getafe are unbeaten in eight games against Eibar overall, and Eibar have not beaten them since a 3-1 win in November 2015. In the last six meetings, Getafe have managed to win three games, while the other three have resulted in draws.
