Getafe vs Racing Santander Preview

Getafe sit rock bottom of La Liga after a bruising 3-0 defeat to Alaves on matchday one. José Bordalás faces a selection headache at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez: right-back Kiko Femenía serves a suspension following his red card, while Johan Mojica also misses out through a ban carried over from last season. New signings Enes Unal and Orel Mangala offer fresh options, but losing both full-backs simultaneously is a significant blow this early in the campaign.

Racing Santander are back in the top flight for the first time in fourteen years, and they announced their return in style. A spirited 2-2 draw against Villarreal saw Andres Martin convert from the spot before Sergio Martinez doubled their lead, only for the Yellows to claw back. Sitting fifth after one round, José Alberto López's side play with ambition and energy. Sergio Canales brings experience, while goalkeeper Julen Agirrezabala adds quality between the posts.

Getafe's defensive problems run deeper than that opening day scoreline suggests. Both full-backs are unavailable: Kiko Femenía serves a red card suspension while Johan Mojica carries over a ban from last season. José Bordalás must improvise with Juan Berrocal or Davinchi at right-back, and a reshuffled backline against an ambitious Racing side is a recipe for trouble at 2.20.

Racing Santander showed real quality on their La Liga return, racing into a two-goal lead against Villarreal before settling for a 2-2 draw. Andres Martin converted from the spot and Sergio Martinez added a fine second. José Alberto López has built a fearless attacking unit, and with Sergio Canales pulling strings in midfield, they carry genuine threat on the road at 4.00.

The X2 pick, covering a draw or Racing win, looks the strongest angle here. Getafe's patched-up defence invites pressure, and Racing have already demonstrated they can compete at this level. Under 2.5 goals at N/A also merits consideration given Bordalás typically engineers low-scoring affairs at the Coliseum. The value sits firmly against the hosts in this fixture.

Trends to Know about Getafe vs Racing Santander

• Getafe missing both starting full-backs
• Racing scored twice against Villarreal
• Getafe sit bottom after matchday one

A 3-4-2-1 versus 4-2-3-1 shapes up as the tactical contest here, though Getafe's lineup carries less certainty, drawn from a single speculated source, while Racing Santander's shape is backed by multiple credible outlets. That confidence gap is worth keeping in mind before kickoff.

Sergio Canales operates as the creative hub behind Asier Villalibre in Racing's attacking structure, giving the visitors a clear focal point. Getafe's three-man backline and compact midfield diamond will look to absorb pressure and hit on the counter through Martin Satriano up front.
