Getafe
Racing SantanderGetafe host Racing Santander on matchday two of La Liga, looking to bounce back from a heavy 0-3 defeat to Alaves in their opening fixture. The hosts did find some encouragement midweek, securing a 3-1 Conference League victory over Partizan despite playing with ten men for much of the contest. Racing, newly promoted after 14 years away, made an impressive start to their top-flight return with a 2-2 draw against Villarreal, leading 2-0 before conceding twice. Getafe will be without suspended defender Kiko Femenia and injured forwards Juanmi and Kristantus Uche, while Racing are missing Pedro Felipe through injury.
Form and Head-to-Head
Getafe's recent home form shows four wins from their last ten matches, though they've conceded 1.24 goals per game on average. Racing's away record is more balanced with three wins, four draws and three losses, scoring 1.61 goals per game. The teams last met in 2012, with their rivalry spanning back to 2010. Historically, Getafe hold a slight edge in their head-to-head record, winning eight of their last 20 meetings across all competitions compared to Racing's seven victories.

Racing Santander won't lose. The newly promoted side showed character in their Villarreal draw and face a Getafe team still adjusting to significant squad changes. With Racing's attacking intent evident and Getafe's defensive vulnerabilities exposed against Alaves, a draw or away victory represents genuine value.
