Players to watch

Georginio Rutter is Brighton & Hove Albion's top scorer in the UEFA Conference League this season with 2 goals. His contribution accounts for half of his side's tally in the competition so far. He is likely to be a central figure as the visitors look to add to their goals.

How the two sides tend to play

The numbers point to contrasting profiles. Getafe have found the net regularly. They scored in 4 of their last 5 matches, but they did not keep a clean sheet in any of them. Both teams scored in 4 of those 5 games, which shows that their matches have tended to be open at both ends. That pattern also appears in their European figures: 6 goals conceded in the table and 6 conceded at home.

Brighton & Hove Albion's figures lean towards control at the back. They kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 5 matches, and both teams scored in only 1 of those games. They scored in 3 of the 5. In the UEFA Conference League they have conceded 0 goals in 2 matches, and their two away matches in the competition have both finished goalless.

The central question is whether Getafe's habit of scoring can break down a defence that has not yet been breached in this competition. The other question is whether Brighton & Hove Albion can turn their defensive solidity into goals away from home, after drawing a blank on their travels in Europe so far.
