Getafe initially cemented their spot as one of Spain's ultimate surprise packages. However, despite getting Friday's showdown in Madrid still hanging onto their spot in the top-half of the La Liga standings, Jose Bordalas' men are seeking a much-welcomed boost this weekend. Last seen getting the New Year underway with a 1-1 stalemate against local rivals Rayo Vallecano, the Blues have failed to win any of their previous five appearances across all competitions.
Starting with the hosts, while Bournemouth might have got the 2025/26 campaign underway with an action-packed 4-2 defeat away at defending champions Liverpool on August 15th, Andoni Iraola's men should take plenty of positives from their bright start to proceedings. Putting a maiden Premier League victory on the board last weekend as they landed a 1-0 victory at home against Wolves, the former Rayo Vallecano boss has seen his squad gain plenty of plaudits from across England's elite.
