Elche host Getafe at the Estadio Martinez Valero in Elche in a LaLiga fixture that carries different but real meaning for both sides as the season reaches its closing stages.

Elche sit 17th in the table, deep enough in the danger zone to make every home game a test of nerve. Their recent form has been uneven — back-to-back defeats to Celta Vigo and Real Betis have followed a run that included a stunning 3-2 win at Atletico Madrid in April, and that inconsistency tells the story of their season.

The loss to Betis last weekend was particularly costly in context. Betis used that 2-1 victory to mathematically secure Champions League qualification for the first time in 21 years, with Elche cast in the role of the side that helped seal someone else's celebration.

Getafe arrive in seventh place, a position that reflects a solid campaign without a clear target left to chase. Their form has been mixed across the last month, though a 3-1 win at Mallorca on May 13 was an encouraging response after defeats to Rayo Vallecano and Barcelona.

Defender David Affengruber has been one of Elche's standout performers this season and has attracted interest from clubs across Europe, which adds a transfer subplot to what is already a consequential run-in for the home side.

Getafe have shown they can handle Elche in recent meetings, and the visitors will arrive with enough confidence to make this a competitive afternoon in the southeast of Spain.

• Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
• Apple TV, Roku & Consoles: These devices often don't support direct VPN apps. The easiest workaround is to use Smart DNS (usually found in your VPN account settings) or Mirror/Cast the stream from your VPN-connected phone or laptop to your TV.
