Getafe's record over a similar number of matches reads 7 wins, 5 draws and 8 losses, with 17 scored and 21 conceded. Their sample mixes La Liga fixtures with pre-season friendlies against sides like Tottenham and Atletico Madrid, so it's not a pure like-for-like league read. Still, the goal difference points to a side that's had a tougher time of it than their hosts.

Craiova's numbers look the healthier of the two, though the samples come from different competitions and can't be compared too tightly.

There's not much to go on here. The only player note we have is a single yellow card for Getafe's A. Abqar in one appearance, which doesn't tell us anything about the squad's overall fitness or who's likely to start.

With the match still some weeks off, any team news at this stage should be treated as very early and incomplete.

What might shape this one

Craiova's home form has produced plenty of goals both ways, so a stretched, open game wouldn't be a surprise if that pattern continues. Getafe's away form has been more cautious, with several 1-0 or 1-1 scorelines cropping up in their recent sample.

Because this fixture sits a month beyond the data we're working from, treat these tendencies as a starting point rather than a guarantee. Squads, fitness and even approach can change by mid-October.
