The Azulones picked up their first win of the year last time out and will be looking to build on that result.

Prior to that, the Azulones were on a seven-game winless run, picking up two draws and losing five, including a 3-2 loss to Levante in the last-32 of the Copa del Rey on January 3.
With 22 points from 22 matches, Getafe are currently 17th in the league table, level on points with 18th-placed Almeria in the drop zone.
