Espanyol is fighting for promotion in the Second Division, where they are in the playoff zone and 3 points below the TOP2 (promotion). They are lacking goals, with only 25 scored in 21 games and the club is looking for new transfers in the winter transfer market, because they need to raise the level.

Most probably they are not very motivated and focused in this competition, because the promotion and the league is their main target and next weekend will play against Ferrol who is 2nd and that will be a very important game.

In the league are in a bad run, winless in the last 4 games and losing the chances to stay at the top of the table.

Three important players are out (Melamed, Lazo and Oscar Gil) and the coach will call 4 players from the B team.

But Getafe is the main reason for this pick. They are playing very well this season, being very competitive and difficult to beat. Only 2 defeats in the last 13 league games, both of them due to red cards received early. Neither teams like Atletico, Athletic, Barcelona or Betis have been able to beat them.

Greenwood is an absolute beast for this team, he should be playing in a top team so for Getafe is a gold mine.

Moreover, Getafe has 4 players suspended for the next league round, so they will surely be starters in this game: Greenwood, Latasa, Damian Suarez and Jaime Mata. A very good striker like Enes Unal could have some minutes as he is back from an ACL injury.

It’s very difficult at the moment for me to find some weak points in Getafe, who have been very competitive and have a lot of quality upfront.

They are in a very quiet position in the league (8th), so why not play this tournament motivated and try to reach the final stages.

Guests have much more quality and I think that also more motivated. With the participation of those 4 important players, especially Greenwood, I see them favorites to qualify here.

西班牙人正在为晋级乙级联赛而战，他们在乙级联赛处于季后赛区，比TOP2(升班线)低3分。21场比赛只进了25个球，缺少进球，俱乐部正在冬季转会市场上寻找新的球员，因为他们需要提高水平。

最有可能的是他们在这场比赛中不是很有动力和专注，因为升级和联赛是他们的主要目标，下周末他们将对阵排名第二的费罗尔，那将是一场非常重要的比赛。

在联赛中他们的表现很糟糕，最近4场比赛没有获胜，失去了保持积分榜榜首的机会。

三名重要球员(梅拉米德、拉佐和奥斯卡·吉尔)将缺席，教练将从B队调来4名球员。

但是赫塔菲是这次选择的主要原因。他们这个赛季踢得很好，很有竞争力，很难被击败。在过去的13场联赛中只输了2场，而且都是由于提前拿到红牌。像马竞、竞技、巴塞罗那和贝蒂斯这样的球队都没能击败他们。

格林伍德绝对是这支球队的猛兽，他应该在一支顶级球队踢球，所以对赫塔菲来说是一座金矿。

此外，赫塔菲有4名球员在下一轮联赛停赛，所以他们肯定会在这场比赛中首发:格林伍德，拉塔萨，达米安·苏亚雷斯和詹姆斯·马塔。像埃内斯·乌纳尔这样优秀的前锋可能会有一些出场时间，因为他刚刚从前交叉韧带受伤中恢复过来。

现在对我来说很难找到赫塔菲的弱点，他们一直很有竞争力，前场有很多优秀的球员。

他们在联赛中处于一个非常安静的位置(第8位)，所以为什么不积极参加这次比赛，努力进入决赛阶段呢?

客人的素质更高，我认为他们也更有动力。有了这四位重要球员的参与，尤其是格林伍德，我认为他们最有希望晋级。
