Burgos (home)
- An interesting clash of styles is on the horizon when Segunda División side Burgos CF welcome LaLiga Getafe to El Plantío in a one-off Copa del Rey 2025-2026 matchup.
- Luis Miguel Ramis has instilled a clear and distinct style of play at Burgos, a 4-2-3-1 with possession-based principles.
- Burgos remain in and around fifth spot in the Segunda with 21 points from 13 games, keeping them in the promotion race but their momentum has been slightly halted by a recent dip in form.
- Burgos have lost three of their last five in all competitions, including two home defeats in the Segunda.
- Fer Niño leads the scoring for the home side with four goals and remains their most reliable threat, although Víctor Mollejo brings pace and creativity to the flanks that could be a potent weapon to unlock defences on Thursday.
Getafe (away)
- Borja Mayoral will be the first port of call for a goal at Getafe right now, the Getafe striker having been a key source of goals this season.
- Getafe’s defence has been the backbone of José Bordalás’ side this season, with Djené and Domingos Duarte anchoring the back four with their height and physicality, while Mauro Arambarri is the dynamic link between the defence and attack from deep, with the Uruguayan also a threat from set pieces.
- They are seventh in the table with 20 points from 14 matches, a mid-table showing that proves their stability in Spain’s top flight.
Head-to-Head
Getafe have never lost to Burgos, beating them 5-1 over two Copa del Rey ties in 2007-08 .

Betting Insights
- Getafe have the pedigree and resources to win in this one and are the favourites at 2.32, while Burgos are a touch bigger than we expect at 2.88 with the draw at 3.25.
- It will be a tight game with little room for manoeuvre in cold conditions, so under 2.5 goals could be a better option than the moneyline betting markets.
Prediction
- Getafe’s perfect record against Burgos, albeit in a limited sample size of two competitive matchups, and their experience in the competition mean we have to take the LaLiga side to get through.
- It should be a narrow win or a low-scoring affair, so consider the LaLiga side to progress and under 2.5 goals as an alternative betting play.
