Getafe will entertain Athletic Bilbao at the Estadio Coliseum Alfonso Pérez in their mid-week La Liga clash on Tuesday. The home team have endured a slow start to their league campaign and are in 16th place in the table after nine games. They are winless in their last three, but avoided a loss last time around after playing out a goalless draw against Rayo Vallecano on Saturday.
Bilbao are also without a win in their last two games and fell to just their second defeat of the campaign last time around. Antoine Griezmann scored the winning goal in the 47th minute for Atletico Madrid to inflict a 1-0 defeat on Athletic. They slipped to fifth place in the standings following the loss and will be looking to return to winning ways.

Los Leones are undefeated in their travels this term and have scored nine goals in three away games. They have been undefeated against the hosts in their last four meetings and will be hopeful of a positive outcome.
