Getafe CF

Defensive, physical, anti-football in its most refined form. Deep compact block, aggressive duels, time-wasting, dark arts mastery. Counter-attacks direct and uncomplicated.

Bordalás returned to his spiritual home and is doing exactly what he does — overperforming the squad's talent through tactical discipline and psychological edge. The 4-4-2 low block is notoriously hard to break down; David Soria (1.07 GA avg) is elite. CRITICAL issue: 14 of 25 players expiring — Getafe faces near-total reconstruction this summer. Retaining Mario Martín (22, €10m) is the single biggest priority.
