Universitatea Craiova vs Getafe

Universitatea Craiova host Getafe in the UEFA Europa Conference League on Thursday 15 October 2026 at Stadionul Ion Oblemenco in Craiova, with the Spanish club managing an injury list of six players.

Six Getafe players carrying injuries

Getafe travel to Romania with significant fitness issues across their squad. Christantus Uche, Juanmi and Zaid Abner Romero are ruled out through injury. In addition, top scorer Enes Ünal, who has 3 goals this season in all competitions, is doubtful with an injury, as are Iván Azon and Orel Mangala.

The visitors have struggled for attacking output in recent weeks. Over their last 5 matches with chance data, Getafe created 0.54 expected goals a game while allowing 1.18. Their domestic sequence reflects those struggles in front of goal: they suffered a 3-0 loss away at Barcelona on 10 October 2026, following a 1-0 win at home to Malaga on 20 September 2026, a 1-0 defeat at Real Betis on 17 September 2026, and consecutive 1-1 draws against Deportivo La Coruna and Celta Vigo earlier in September.

Universitatea Craiova miss Carlos Mora

The home side have selection constraints of their own, with Carlos Mora ruled out through suspension. Universitatea Craiova enter the group stage following a mixed sequence of qualifying results in late summer.

Their most recent fixture ended in a 1-0 defeat away at Ararat-Armenia on 27 August 2026, following a 1-1 home draw against the same opponent on 20 August 2026. Before that round, Universitatea Craiova earned a 2-1 home victory against KuPS on 13 August 2026 after a 1-1 draw in the first leg on 6 August 2026. In their five most recent European matches, they have recorded one win, three draws and one defeat, conceding in all five.

Our model leans narrowly towards a Getafe win

Our model leans narrowly towards a Getafe win, carrying low confidence. Getafe have won only one of their last five matches, averaging under one expected goal created per match during that run, and are missing key attacking options including injury doubt Enes Ünal. However, Universitatea Craiova have managed only one win in their last five European games, failing to keep a clean sheet across that entire span.
