Expect Getafe in their usual 4-4-2, a shape Bordalás has turned into a weapon of suffocation. The midfield bank of four sits narrow, the back line holds a high line only when safe, and the front two hunt second balls like terriers. David Soria is expected in goal, with Andrés García and Dakonam anchoring the defensive structure. There could be changes further forward, with Enes Unal potentially introduced in the final third and Johan Mojica and Alberto Risco Alcantara pushing for spots. That is a manager tweaking the attack without loosening the grip. Malaga are likely to line up in a narrow midfield diamond, and that is where this game is won or lost. The diamond can clog central lanes, but it leaves the flanks exposed. Getafe will look to switch play quickly and get their full-backs high. Orel Mangala, if he starts, will be central to dictating tempo from deep for the hosts. Malaga's press must be perfect to disrupt that rhythm, and their recent away showings suggest it will not be. The visitors' expected XI, with Alfonso Herrero in goal and a back line of Rafita, Einar Galilea, Ángel Recio and José Salinas, will sit deep and try to spring counters through Davi Larrubia and Pablo Martínez. But Getafe's low block is a bear to break down, and Malaga have scored just three goals all season. Set-pieces favour the hosts too, with Unal and Dakonam a handful in the air.
