Spain Cup: Santander vs GetafeLast year Getafe reached Cup finals where they were defeated by Sevilla but they managed to qualify for the UEFA Cup because Sevilla played in the Champions League. Racing want to reach the finals this year for the same reason and considering that they scored a goal in a 3:1 defeat, they have the chance to eliminate Getafe.
Getafe – the biggest surprise in Primera this season
After qualifying for UEFA Cup quarterfinals, last weekend, Getafe beat Racing in Primera. Laudrup’s players are playing better and better as the season goes by and they will definitely give their best to win Copa Del Rey sine that would provide them a place in UEAF Cup next season. Three weeks ago they beat Racing 3:1 which is a good score before the returning leg at El Sardinero. This season, Getafe were already defeated once on this ground, but since Azulones plat quite good lately, they will definitely give their best to keep the lead from the first leg. The fans are definitely pleased by the fact that Gutierrez is recovered and coming back in the team.
Can Racing win?
Racing lost the first semifinal match but they managed to score away. This will mean a lot in home leg since Getafe have been defeated in three out of four head-to-head duels in Santander. Coach Garcia will repeat the tactics used in the first duel in Primera, since they celebrated 2:0 then, same as for Getafe the Cup is a chance for Racing to reach UEFA Cup, so this will be an additional motive for green-white to give their best and win the rivals with a two-goal margin. Granero, del Moral and Belelguer will miss this match while Uchea might not play.
Betting Verdict
Getafe showed that they can play for the score and we expect such an approach in this match; Laudrup’s players will primarily focus on guarding their net and wait for a chance in counterattacks. Racing must impose their style as soon as possible but that will be difficult because Azulones are in very good form. We believe that Getafe won't lose here so we suggest betting on double chance.
