Getafe is campaigning more than expected in La Liga, comes in a good phase, with 4 games of invincibility, in which it won 2 and tied 2, and goes in search of another positive result to continue in the fight for a place of access to European competitions next season. The team needs to perform more offensively, since it scored 17 goals and is the seventh worst attack of the competition, while the defense, on the other hand, suffered only 12 goals and is the most solid, being a team that plays more closed, leaves few spaces and tries to explore the counterattacks, but still lacks speed to arrive with more danger to the goal of the rivals.
