Getafe host Racing Santander at the Estadio Coliseum on 23 August 2026 in this La Liga fixture, with both sides chasing a first win of the new campaign.
The hosts are juggling their La Liga commitments with a Conference League playoff, and they need a response after a rough opening weekend on the road.
Racing Santander are back in the top flight for the first time in 14 years after winning the Segunda Division, and they made a solid start against strong opposition.
These sides last met back in 2011/2012, and Getafe hold the edge in the historical record between the two clubs across their previous meetings.
Getafe vs Racing Santander Form
Getafe opened their season with a messy 3-0 defeat away at Deportivo Alaves, a poor result for a side that finished seventh last term. They responded in midweek with a 3-1 home win over Partizan Belgrade in their Conference League playoff first leg. Martin Satriano leads the line and should spearhead the attack again here.
Racing Santander made an encouraging return to the top flight, holding Villarreal to a 2-2 home draw on the opening weekend. Sergio Canales pulls the strings in the engine room, while Andres Martin and Sergio Martinez both found the net in that draw. The direct newcomers are the form side on paper, ranked seventh going into this one.
Getafe vs Racing Santander Lineups & Team News
Injuries & Suspensions
Getafe: Christantus Uche (Injured/out), Juanmi (Injured/out)
Racing Santander: Pedro Felipe (Injured/out)
Getafe
Getafe have a couple of forward absences to manage. Christantus Uche has returned to the club from Crystal Palace but looks set to miss out through injury, while Juanmi remains sidelined until November with a knee problem. That leaves Martin Satriano to lead the line, supported by Rafa Terrats in the hole.
Racing Santander
Racing Santander have just the one concern to weigh up. Giorgi Guliashvili has been passed fit, but Pedro Felipe will be out until early September. That gives Sergio Canales a clear run to marshal the midfield, with Andres Martin and Asier Villalibre expected to carry the attacking threat.

Getafe vs Racing Santander Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: This has the makings of a tight, low-scoring fixture. Getafe are marginal favourites at home at 128/100 with 10Bet, but Racing arrive as the form side and are stubborn to break down. We fancy a 1-1 draw, with honours even at the Coliseum.
Best Bets
Both Teams To Score - Yes in the Both Teams To Score market. The projected scoreline points to goals at both ends, with the model assigning a 53.83% implied probability of both sides netting. Racing carry a real threat going forward, and Getafe should find the net at home.
Jean Ives Valou Over 1.5 Fouls in the Player Fouls market. This promises to be a physical, niggly contest, and Valou shapes up as a prime candidate to rack up the fouls in what the AI projections rate as a strong-value play in a match where Getafe's aggression is well documented.
Getafe vs Racing Santander Bet Builder
Our four-leg bet builder backs Getafe to win at home, Martin Satriano to score anytime, both teams not to find the net, and Abdelkabir Abqar to be shown a card.
Getafe are marginal favourites on home soil against a Racing side who have failed to win their last 21 matches in LaLiga, so the hosts are fancied to edge it.
Martin Satriano leads the line with Getafe's forward options thin, and as the focal point of the attack he is well placed to get on the scoresheet.
Getafe have seen under 2.5 goals in their last 4 home meetings with Racing, and with the hosts struggling for goals, no to both teams scoring fits the pattern.
Getafe have received 2+ cards in 4 of their last 4 matches against Racing Santander in LaLiga, and centre-back Abqar is a likely booking in a scrappy contest.
At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 16.47/1 and is as short as 11/1 elsewhere. That's a difference in potential winnings of £55 from best to worst price.

Getafe vs Racing Santander Talking Points
The big question is whether newly-promoted Racing can back up their opening-day point. Andres Martin scored from the spot against Villarreal and Sergio Martinez marked his top-flight debut with a goal, so the newcomers clearly carry a threat. Getafe, meanwhile, need a domestic response after their opening-day drubbing at Alaves, though the 3-1 midweek win over Partizan should lift the mood. With Getafe's cards record against Racing and Sergio Canales winning 2+ fouls in 4 of his last 5 appearances against Getafe in LaLiga, expect this one to get spiky. There have also been 26+ shots taken in 4 of the last 6 meetings between these two in LaLiga, so it should not be short of action either.
