Getafe currently sit in fifth place, having recently extended their unbeaten record to four game with a win over Real Sociedad earlier in the week.
Although Getafe are the underdogs, their standing and unbeaten record will give them the much needed confidence to try and get a point or three.

What is the team news?
Zinedine Zidane has decided to leave Eden Hazard out of the matchday squad for the La Liga game.
There have been reports in Spain about how rival teams are going in hard on the Belgian internationals ankle and that may have played a part in his absence.
Hazard had ankle surgery in late February and missed a large chunk of the season, with Getafe being a very physical side his manager may be being cautious to bench him.
Luka Modric is set to return after missing the 1-o win at Espanyol.
Vinicus Junior could be playing in attack behind Isco and Karim Benzema.
For Getafe, Djene is back from suspension and will probably be resuming his place in defence.
Peter Etebo could start on the right-hand side of the midfield with Jorge Molina expecting to partner with Jaime Mata at the front.
