"The squad is better than last year's and possibly the best I have ever had here, I am very satisfied. Having a team with more quality doesn't change our main goal, which is to fight for a stay in a more comfortable way. Getafe has a very good base and they also signed well during the transfer window. They have many solutions in the attack and an excellent coach."

Elche have won only one of their last 10 encounters against Getafe. That was on April 6, 2014, when Richmond Boakye scored the only goal at the Manuel Martinez Valero Stadium. Since then there have been three wins for the Azulones and three draws, including the last one, which took place in March this year at the Alfonso Pérez Coliseum and ended 1-1. Pere Milla opened the scoring, Eres Unal prevented the defeat of the hosts.

Getafe lost their first three games, to Valencia, Sevilla and Barcelona, and are therefore second-bottom of the competition, ahead only of Alavés. Both are the only two of the 20 top-flight clubs who have yet to pick up a point this 2021-22 season. Elche are also looking for their first win, but are out of the relegation zone because they drew with Athletic Bilbao and Sevilla and lost to Atletico Madrid 1-0.
