*These figures were accurate at the time of publishing.
Getafe were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Rayo Vallecano on Monday night. Despite conceding early and playing with 10 men for over an hour, the Madrid outfit found the equaliser and held their own against their local rivals.
Including their UEFA Conference League opener at Universitatea Craiova last Thursday, Jose Bordalas' troops have now drawn back-to-back games by the same scoreline.
Interestingly, while Getafe are still hunting for their first away win of the season, they are unbeaten at home across all competitions this term.
The hosts will remain without Zaid Romero, who is ruled out until November due to a muscle injury, while Orel Mangala and Ivan Azon will both need a final fitness assessment to confirm their availability.
On the other hand, Lugano are coming off a comfortable 4-0 victory over Swiss fifth-tier minnows Pully Football in the Schweizer Cup.
The visitors have now won three in a row, including a hard-fought 3-2 victory over Red Star Belgrade in their Conference League opener last Thursday.
Head coach Mattia Croci-Torti has no new injury concerns ahead of this trip, although Brazilian defender Carbone is still unavailable, as the 21-year-old needs a few more weeks to fully recover from a muscle injury.
These teams will go head-to-head for the first time on Thursday. Getafe have won one and lost three of their four previous meetings with Swiss sides, while Lugano have lost all four of their previous clashes with Spanish opposition.
