Brighton put in a gutsy and spirited performance at the Etihad last weekend, and they held on to a 1-0 victory. The Seagulls are now third in the Premier League standings, just five points behind Arsenal. They have been seriously impressive, and Fabian Hurzeler’s men will hope to carry that momentum into Thursday night.

Getafe’s form has been more mixed, and they were dealt a shock 5-2 defeat against Lugano in the previous round of the Conference League. The Spanish side have taken just one point from their opening two European matches, and this isn’t an easy matchup to break that streak. Even though Brighton tend to rotate midweek, they should have more than enough firepower to get over the line here.

Martin Satriano has been Getafe’s most active player in the final third this season, and he comes into this clash in excellent form. The Uruguay international provided the assist for Enes Unal to equalise against Sevilla at the weekend, before Satriano found the back of the net himself.

The winger is averaging 2.49 shots per 90 across all competitions this season, rising to 3.15 when playing at home. In fact, he has landed this selection in seven of his eight appearances on home turf this campaign. Satriano likes to cut inside from the left wing, and the ten of his 22 efforts in the league this season have come from outside the box.

Hurzeler has typically opted for rotation in midweek games, and Georginio Rutter will be expecting a recall. The Frenchman has been in good form recently, and he found the back of the net against Man City in his last start, which was in the EFL Cup. Rutter had four shots in that match, and four hit the target,

The 24-year-old has landed this selection with ease in both Conference League appearances so far. That includes a brace in round one against Zalgiris. Rutter couldn’t score against a stubborn Jablonec rearguard, but the striker did record six attempts, of which three hit the target, which shows just how active he is in the final third.
