Getafe II vs Numancia - Segunda División RFEF - Group 5

Getafe II prepare to host Numancia at the home ground on October 4, 2026, with both sides eager to assert their credentials and claim a result that could define their Segunda División RFEF - Group 5 season. The left-back was taken off in the final minutes against Everton with cramp, and was not risked for the Champions League clash vs Sabah on Thursday.

Both Getafe II and Numancia will be eager to build momentum when they meet in Segunda División RFEF - Group 5. Getafe II are still searching for momentum, D in their last five and a season win rate of just 0%. The visitors arrive in confident mood, their recent run of DWLWL backed by a season win rate of 100%. Where Getafe II have leaned on defensive discipline, Numancia have often taken the initiative going forward, and that stylistic difference should shape the contest. The Saudi Pro League side have now placed a €45 million package on the table, while Watkins himself is understood to be open to making the move.

Wing play is likely to be central to the contest. Getafe II will look to stretch the pitch and isolate their wide attackers, while Numancia must find a way to compress the space and choke the supply lines. Tuesday's print edition of ABC, as relayed by Sport Witness, have claimed that Betis turned down a €50m approach from a wealthy non-Premier League club for Antony.

Neither side is short on individuals capable of tilting the balance, and the duel between the two squads' chief creators could prove particularly pivotal. Set-piece specialists and aerial threats on both sides mean dead-ball situations could carry outsized importance. Ramos did eventually score the breakthrough goal midway through the second half but that was one of eight attempts at goal by the Portuguese forward - and there were no fewer than four big chances missed.

With the sides closely matched, the outcome may well hinge on which team takes its chances on the day. A share of the spoils looks the most probable outcome, with neither side holding a decisive edge — a 2-2 draw feels like a fitting result. With the standings tight and form on the line, this is a fixture neither side will want to lose. Premier League chief executive Richard Masters says a verdict on the alleged charges against Manchester City "has taken longer than expected".
