Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
There will be fireworks when Athletic Club and Getafe face each other in the La Liga round 20. The Lions are brimming with confidence following the Super Cup triumph, but the game against los Azulones will be anything but a walk in the park for the hosts. The likes of Berchiche, Lopez, and Nolaskoain remain in the recovery room, while Villalibre, who found the net in the 3-2 win over Barcelona is pushing for a start.
Getafe, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Elche and Huesca. The capital club, on the other hand, have been showing signs of improvement of late, with the team beating both Elche and Huesca in the previous two league fixtures. Since the tired legs could prove to be a big problem for the hosts, share of spoils is on the cards at San Mames. Mollejo, Poveda, and Unal are all likely to miss the game with injuries for the visitors.
