There’s a significant difference between the two teams at the moment.

Athletic is a team I expect to be very strong this season. They have a great squad, coach, and a solid project. However, they’ll be missing some key players for this fixture, such as the new signing Djalo, their first and second goalkeepers (Unai Simón and Agirrezabala), and starting midfielder Ruiz de Galarreta.

Despite these absences, they have good replacements. What I believe is most important is that Nico Williams, their best player, will be available for this fixture, although he will start on the bench due to a lack of training sessions.

Athletic is a very solid home team, always playing with high pressure and a lot of intensity, making them very difficult to beat on their home turf. I expect them to dominate possession and control the game, generating plenty of chances and recovering the ball easily near the opponent’s area.

Getafe is the main reason for this pick. They are in the middle of the signing process and have lost many key players (Latasa, Greenwood, Ünal, Maksimović, Mata…) and have only signed a few players so far. At the moment, they don’t have any real strikers available. Their plan for this fixture will be to defend and try to hold on to a goalless draw for as long as possible.

Their topscorer last season (Borja Mayoral) is injured, but he will be sold soon anyway.

For this fixture, the coach has named a squad of only 18 players, three of whom are youngsters from the B team, meaning he has only 15 first-team players available. He is frustrated with this situation and, to demonstrate his dissatisfaction, he played two defenders as strikers in a preseason game. There isn’t a single striker in the squad named for this fixture.

I expect Athletic to demonstrate their superior quality and dominate this match. Getafe is a very defensive team, and I can’t see them creating any dangerous chances today. They will likely spend most of the game far from Athletic’s area and will "park the bus" with an extremely defensive setup.

Athletic already beat Getafe (when Getafe had a much better squad than they do today) 0-2 in May. Then in September, they drew 2-2 at home, but that was due to a red card received in the 45th minute, which affected the game when they were leading 1-0.

Getafe is a team that needs several weeks to make more transfers, as their squad isn’t complete yet.

目前这两支球队有很大的不同。

竞技是一支我期望本赛季非常强大的球队。他们有一个伟大的阵容，教练，和一个坚实的项目。然而，在这场比赛中，他们将失去一些关键球员，比如新签下的贾洛，他们的第一门将和第二门将(乌奈Simón和阿吉里扎巴拉)，以及首发中场鲁伊斯·德加拉雷塔。

尽管他们缺阵，但他们有很好的替代者。我认为最重要的是他们最好的球员尼科·威廉姆斯将在这场比赛中复出，尽管由于缺乏训练，他将坐在替补席上首发。

竞技是一支非常稳固的主场球队，总是在高压下和高强度下比赛，这使得他们在主场很难被击败。我希望他们能控制控球权，控制比赛，创造大量的机会，并在对手区域附近轻松夺回球权。

赫塔菲是这次选择的主要原因。他们正处于签约过程中，失去了许多关键球员(拉塔萨，格林伍德，Ünal，马克西莫维奇，马塔……)，到目前为止只签下了几名球员。目前，他们没有任何真正的前锋可用。他们对这场比赛的计划将是防守，并尽可能长时间地保持零比零的平局。

他们上赛季的头号射手博尔哈·马约拉尔受伤了，但他很快就会被卖掉。

在这场比赛中，教练只任命了18名球员，其中3名是来自B队的年轻人，这意味着他只有15名一线队球员。他对这种情况感到沮丧，为了表达他的不满，他在季前赛中将两名后卫作为前锋。在这场比赛的大名单中没有一个前锋的名字。

我希望竞技队能展现出他们卓越的实力，主宰这场比赛。赫塔菲是一支防守很强的球队，我看不出他们今天创造了任何危险的机会。他们很可能会在比赛的大部分时间里远离竞技的区域，并且会用一个非常防守的设置来“停车”。

五月份，竞技已经0-2击败了赫塔菲(当时赫塔菲的阵容比现在强得多)。今年9月，他们在主场2-2战平，但那是因为在第45分钟吃了一张红牌，在1-0领先的情况下影响了比赛。

赫塔菲是一支需要几周时间进行更多转会的球队，因为他们的阵容还不完整。
