Athletic Club started the La Liga season well with five wins from their opening seven fixtures. However, the Lions have stumbled in recent weeks and are now winless in back-to-back fixtures in the division.

Athletic Club are coming off a 1-0 home loss to Atletico Madrid at the weekend. It was just the second defeat of the season, as Athletic Club fell to sixth in the table.

They are now two points off the top three in a competitive race for the Champions League places.

Getafe are not troubling the Champions League places and go into round No. 10 in 16th place in the Primera table. The Azulones are winless in three straight matches ahead of Athletic Club’s trip to the Coliseum Alfonso Perez.

One point separates Getafe from the bottom three. The Azulones could finish the midweek round of fixtures in the relegation zone unless they win at home against Athletic Club.

Draws were the most common result between Getafe and Athletic Club across the last six head-to-head matches. Four of the last six games between these teams finished as stalemates, while Getafe and Athletic Club won one match each.

The 2021-22 season saw Getafe and Athletic Club draw both La Liga matches. Their fixture at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez ended nil-nil, and the fixture at San Mames finished 2-2, with Getafe receiving two red cards.

Athletic Club took 10 points from the last 18 points on offer in the league. They scored 12 goals and conceded six times to the last six opponents.

Getafe took seven points from the last 18 points on offer in the Primera. They were outscored 10-7 across the last six games and go into Tuesday night’s home fixture winless in three straight matches.

The Azulones have a home record of just 1W-1D-3L losses from five matches in La Liga. They have a –4-goal difference at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez.

Athletic Club manager Ernesto Valverde has no fresh injuries ahead of the match at Getafe. He will be able to select the strongest XI possible. Inaki Williams co-leads the team in goals, with three in the division.

Getafe manager Quique Sanchez Flores has no fresh injury issues either. The manager will hope the team can get goals against a strong opponent. Getafe scored just eight goals in their opening nine games, which is La Liga’s fourth-fewest.

Athletic Club should rebound from a recent two-match winless streak with a victory away at Getafe. Williams could get on the scoresheet as the Lions post a 2-0 away win against a struggling Azulones.
