Coach Roberto De Zerbi and Tottenham are actively preparing for the new season. The Italian captain has helped Spurs avoid the risk of relegation to the Championship and is strongly backed by the board of directors in the transfer market.
"Rooster" has completed notable deals with Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes, Jan Paul van Hecke and Marcos Senesi. Besides, Manchester City's Savinho and Liverpool's Cody Gakpo are still on Spurs' list of important targets.
The results on the field also bring positive signs for De Zerbi. Tottenham won all four pre-season friendly matches, defeating MK Dons, Auckland FC, Sydney FC and Chelsea respectively.
Prominent is the 2-1 victory over Chelsea last weekend. Spurs had to play with 10 men from the beginning of the second half after Kevin Danso received a red card for fouling Joao Pedro. However, Richarlison scored the decisive goal in the 90+2 minute, helping Tottenham continue to maintain their all-win record in the pre-season period.
On the other side, Getafe had less impressive preparation under Jose Bordalas. The Madrid team started the summer with a 1-0 victory over Reading, then defeated Tenerife 2-1 and drew 0-0 with Real Valladolid.
Getafe's unbeaten streak ended in the match against Atletico Madrid last week, when they suffered a 1-4 defeat. This was also their heaviest defeat in the pre-season period.
This is only the second time Tottenham and Getafe have faced each other in history. The only previous time was in the group stage of the UEFA Cup in the 2007-2008 season, when Getafe won 2-1 at White Hart Lane.
