"There will be a police escort to the stadium. The fan meeting point is the Avenida María Zambrano area, where you will find bars and restaurants.

Brighton & Hove Albion Supporter Services added: “All Brighton fans attending the Getafe game will be entering through Gate 7 (Visitantes).

Hurzeler on Getafe

On facing Getafe, Brighton head coach Fabian Hurzeler said: “We expect a tough opponent because I think when you play here in Getafe and when you see them playing also, for example, at the weekend against Sevilla, you know it's a team that knows how to win.

"It's a team that plays quite vertical, long balls, second balls, [who are] good in personal duels, and can be very intense in personal duels. Therefore, we expect a team that has a clear style of play combined with individual quality."

The Seagulls will be back in Premier League action this Sunday at th Amex Stadium against Brentford.
