Getafe vs FK Partizan: UEFA Conference League playoff first leg
Getafe and FK Partizan meet in the first leg of their 2026/27 UEFA Europa Conference League playoff round tie on 20 August. The Spanish side, managed by José Bordalás, are entering the qualifiers after punching above their weight in La Liga last season, while Partizan arrive battle-hardened from two earlier qualifying rounds. The match will be at Getafe's usual home ground.
Team News and Injury Latest
Getafe are set to be without two attacking options. Nigerian midfielder Christantus Uche has reportedly suffered a knee injury over the summer and will miss out, while former Real Betis forward Juanmi remains sidelined with a muscle issue. In more positive news, former Nottingham Forest midfielder Orel Mangala is expected to start after completing a season-long loan move from Lyon earlier in the window.
The summer window also saw the permanent arrival of several loanees who helped the club qualify for Europe, alongside loan additions Jean Ives Valou from Villarreal and Andres Garcia from Aston Villa. However, the departure of key midfielder Mauro Arambarri leaves a gap that Mangala and others must fill.
