Athletic failed to retain the Spanish Super Cup this year, they were beaten by Real Madrid in the final. 

Just like always, Bilbao put up a strong performance in Copa del Rey, beating Real Madrid and Barcelona. Unfortunately, Basques underestimated Valencia, who eliminated The Lions from that tournament.

Team's defensive line is looking great, allowing less than one goal per game. The Red-Whites were unfortunate in three latest rounds - they have suffered two defeats and recorded a victory over Levante (3:1). 

Garcia and Martinezwon't feature in the upcoming match.

Getafe had a terrible start in this season of La Liga - only in the middle of autumn team finally started to look alive. Team also had an unsuccessful Spanish Cup campaign - after a dominating victory over Mollerussa (5:1) visitors were suddenly beaten by a modest Baleares side (0:5). 

After 28 rounds of La Liga Quique Flores' men have six victories and ten draws, which brought 28 points and a 15th spot in the standings.
