Getafe vs Almería Match Preview
There's little Almeria can do to maintain the category in the next four Liga games, as even the 12 points in play could not be enough for Roberto Olabe's boys to abandon the drop zone. Getafe, on the other hand, fell to the 18th position last week and needs the three points to avoid the risk zone in what's left of the Spanish tournament.
Olabe recovers defender Carlos Luna and captain Juanma Ortiz, but will have to do without Pablo Piatti and Michael Jakobsen. After a disappointing performance in the last few games, Marcelo Silva and Feghouli will be making way in the starting eleven, giving Olabe more versatility both in the attack and the defense.
Getafe's coach Michel might miss three key players for his scheme, as Manu del Moral, Javier Casquero and Juan Angel Albin struggle with injuries and might not be fully fit to perform. Azulones' coach misses Jaime Gavilán and Rafael López as well, both sidelined with injuries.
Almeria needs a victory to maintain mathematical hopes of permanence. Getafe is in the drop zone for the first time in the season, and hosts basement boys Almeria. Who will claim the full scoring?
