Burgos vs Getafe prediction 18.12.2025 | Copa del Rey

Burgos CF have been on an upward trajectory domestically in the 2025/26 Segunda División. Recent league victories - including a 2–1 away win at UD Almería - saw them end an unfortunate three-game losing streak. Alongside league commitments, Burgos were also involved in a demanding Copa del Rey Round of 64 tie against Real Zaragoza, where a late goal from Mario González in the 116th minute of extra time secured their place in the Round of 32.

Somewhat surprisingly, Burgos’ performances at the Estadio Municipal El Plantío have been less convincing than those on the road. They have recorded only three wins from nine home matches in the Segunda División, while claiming five victories away from home, giving them the third-best away record in the league in terms of points accumulated.

Getafe enter this tie amid a turbulent run of results in La Liga, most recently suffering a 0-1 home defeat to RCD Espanyol, which marked their second consecutive loss across all competitions. As a result, their league form has been mixed, with just one win in their last five matches. Despite this, Getafe have remained relatively solid defensively, with three of their last four defeats coming by the narrow margin of 0-1.

However, Getafe’s away form has been a significant concern. They have lost five of their last six away fixtures, a run that is unlikely to inspire confidence for José Bordalás and his players ahead of this cup tie.

In the Copa del Rey, forward Juanmi has been the standout performer for Getafe so far, scoring four goals in two matches, although most of those strikes came against considerably weaker opposition from the lower divisions.
