Getafe desperate for points as they face in-form Girona at Montilivi

Relegation-threatened Getafe head to Catalonia on Monday night in desperate need of points against a Girona side who’ve found their rhythm since the turn of the year.

Form Guide

The contrast in fortunes couldn’t be starker between these two sides. Girona are flying high after securing their third consecutive La Liga victory against Espanyol, with all three wins coming since the calendar flipped to 2024. These nine points have seen the Catalans climb several positions in the table.

Getafe, meanwhile, find themselves in the dreaded drop zone under José Bordalás. The Azulones are hoping Monday’s clash could mark a turning point in what’s been a proper mare of a season.

Team News

Bordalás has been busy in the January window, with four new reinforcements bolstering his squad (though Boselli isn’t yet registered). The gaffer now has more options at his disposal, with both Zaid Romero and Luis Vázquez potentially making their debuts at Montilivi.

A win for Getafe would be massive in their battle against the drop, giving them a chance to put some daylight between themselves and the bottom three.

What’s at Stake

For Girona, this represents a golden opportunity to extend their winning streak to four matches and potentially open up a six-point gap over a direct rival. They’ve been in apple and pears form at home and will fancy their chances against struggling opposition.

The visitors desperately need something from this game. Bordalás will be hoping his January additions can provide the spark needed to climb out of the relegation zone.
