Preview

Match preview

Getafe host Racing Santander in Matchday 2 of La Liga following a tough opening round that left the Madrid-based side at the foot of the table. Getafe suffered a 3-0 defeat away to Alaves in their league opener, leaving them 20th with zero points and a minus-three goal difference. Though they bounced back with a 3-1 victory against FK Partizan on August 20, they face selection constraints with Kiko Femenia suspended following a red card, alongside injuries to Juanmi and C. Uche.

Racing Santander enter the match sitting 7th in the standings after an entertaining 2-2 draw at home against Villarreal in their opener, featuring a goal from Sergio Martínez. The visitors will be missing Pedro Felipe and G. Guliashvili due to hamstring and leg injuries respectively, but will look to capitalise on Getafe's defensive vulnerabilities from the opening round.
