La Liga is back for some midweek action as Getafe entertain Granada at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez on Thursday.
The home side climbed out of the relegation zone thanks to their six-game unbeaten run, which included a 1-0 win over Real Madrid. The run came to an end with a 1-0 loss at Sevilla in their previous outing. They are currently in 17th place in the league standings, just one point above the relegation zone.
Granada head into the game with a seven-game unbeaten run of their own and held Barcelona to a 1-1 draw in their previous outing.

Getafe's all four wins have come at home this season and they have kept a clean sheet in their last five league outings at home. Granada have just one win in their travels and have just one clean sheet in their last nine games.
Taking everything into consideration, the game will be a low-scoring one, with the hosts expected to come out on top of the Andalusian side.
Prediction: Getafe 1-0 Granada.
