Getafe and Celta: winless in ten for the loser

Neither side have won any of their last nine games in the competition and will be hoping to start the second half of the season with a bang.

The curtain closes on matchday 20 of the Liga BBVA with a must-win clash between Getafe CF and RC Celta in the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez. Both teams will be looking to grab all three points in order to move further away from the drop zone.

Team news

The absences that plagued the home side during the first half of the season still persist. The Madrid outfit will be without Ángel Lafita, Karim Yoda, Juan Valera, Babá, and goalkeeper Vicente Guaita, who are all injured, while Emiliano Velázquez is suspended. The Galicians, who have only managed two points from their last nine games, will be in search of a victory without the help of Hugo Mallo and Andreu Fontàs.

Views from the dugouts

Although Getafe have failed to win at home since 28 September, coach Quique Sánchez-Flores is confident about motivating his players and kick starting a strong run. "I want us to be positive and continue showing the kind of attitude we have been. That is important".

Celta boss Eduardo Berizzo also assessed the game as well as the opposition in his pre-match press conference: "Getafe have changed things up with a new manager and this will be a good test for us".
