Getafe: current form, latest results, statistics
Getafe had a difficult meeting in Valencia, but managed to avoid defeat. The result of the draw allows him to continue to play in fourth place in the La Liga standings. This position is also targeted by Alaves, Sevilla, Valencia and Betis, and the fight remains open. It is important not to lose points in matches with less-ranked teams, such as Leganes. He still has a period with less difficult matches and can gather important points. It needs to make a difference between it and the other competitors until it gets to the last 6 games, because then it will have difficult matches with Sevilla, Real Madrid and Barcelona. The majority of the players who participated in the national teams’ actions returned. Togolese Djene is expected to arrive on Wednesday evening and Thursday to attend training. Two of the internationals, Namanja Maksimovic and Jaime Mata, were spoiled, the coach giving them a day of extra rest. Jaime Mata is the home team’s scorer with 13 goals scored. Along with Jorge Molina, 10 goals, he forms one of the most dangerous offensive couples in La Liga. The gaming relationships between the two became automatism and managed to open even the safest “locks”.

Leganes is ranked 14th in the standings with 33 points. He has 8 more than Celta Vigo, the first place to be relegated. Celta and Rayo Vallecano had a very poor time and allowed Leganes to stay safe despite the two defeats in the final stages. Mauricio Pellegrino has received two proposals to extend the contract so far but postponed the end-of-season response. “The best thing for Leganes is that the season ends well and we reach our goals,” he said. Only he received bad news from Morocco. Leganes’s striker, Yuseff En-Nesyri, was seriously injured in his last training session before Argentina. Club news is delayed to be confirmed, information will be offered only after the Moroccan will be consulted by team doctors. En-Nesyri, with 8 goals, is the main marker of the visiting team.
