Getafe followed their 2-1 Conference League play-off defeat against Partizan Belgrade with a disappointing 1-0 loss at Osasuna last week.
Although Jose Bordalas' troops have lost all their three away matches this season, they have conversely been reliable at home, having won five consecutive matches at this stadium, stretching back to the previous campaign.
The 15th-placed hosts, who have earned three points from a possible nine in the Spanish top flight this term, will look to keep that streak intact.
Chrisantus Uche remains out long-term after suffering a serious ligament injury. He joins Juanmi (knee), Mario Martin (thigh), Abdel Abqar (thigh), and Andres Garcia (thigh) in the recovery room.
On the other hand, Celta Vigo are coming off a goalless draw at Real Sociedad, a La Liga round 6 fixture they had to play in advance due to future scheduling conflicts.
Despite playing more games than their opponents, the visitors are still hunting for their first win of the campaign, with two draws and two defeats in four league outings.
Celta have also been one of La Liga's least efficient teams when it comes to finding the net, as they have drawn blanks in three of those fixtures, managing only one goal.
With some squad rotation expected, head coach Claudio Giraldez will not be able to call upon the services of Borja Iglesias and Aleix Febas, as both players are ruled out due to foot and rib contusion issues, respectively.
Recent encounters between these sides have not been one-sided, as both teams share a 2-2-2 win-draw-loss record in the last six H2Hs.

Whispers Predicts: Getafe 1-0 Celta Vigo
At 6/4 (2.50), Getafe are considered favourites by the bookies.
The hosts have won five consecutive home games, and considering Celta Vigo's recent struggles, we are confident that Getafe will emerge victorious after all is said and done.
Fewer than three goals were scored in four of Celta Vigo's last five outings, and this can be backed at 2/5 (1.40).
We also fancy a 1-0 correct score at 9/2 (5.50). This landed in three of the hosts' last four home games.
