Getafe and Brighton meet on 5 November 2026 in Matchday 3 of the UEFA Conference League league phase with a clear difference in their defensive records: the Spanish side have conceded six goals in two matches and collected one point, while the English club have not conceded and have four points. This comparison covers only the league phase up to 22 October, not every competition played this season.
Getafe will host the match. UEFA lists kick-off at 21:00 Central European Time (CET), equivalent to 20:00 in London and 17:00 in Brasília, on the same Thursday. The schedule remains subject to official changes.
The four results behind the comparison
UEFA's team-by-team fixture records show that both clubs played once at home and once away across the first two matchdays:
| Date | Home team | Score | Away team |
|---|---|---|---|
| 15/10/2026 | Universitatea Craiova | 1-1 | Getafe |
| 22/10/2026 | Getafe | 2-5 | Lugano |
| 15/10/2026 | Brighton | 4-0 | Kauno Žalgiris |
| 22/10/2026 | Jablonec | 0-0 | Brighton |
The gap in points, goals and goal difference
Every indicator below relates solely to the two matches in the 2026/27 league phase, with information checked as of 24 October:
| Metric | Getafe | Brighton |
|---|---|---|
| Matches played | 2 | 2 |
| Wins, draws, losses | 0, 1, 1 | 1, 1, 0 |
| Points | 1 | 4 |
| Goals scored | 3 | 4 |
| Goals conceded | 6 | 0 |
| Goal difference | -3 | +4 |
| Clean sheets | 0 | 2 |
The clubs are separated by three points and seven goals of goal difference. Brighton have scored only one more goal but conceded six fewer. These totals come directly from the four scorelines; they are not a measure of tactical quality or a forecast for the next meeting.
Why Getafe's six goals conceded need context
Five of Getafe's six goals conceded came in one match, the 5-2 home defeat to Lugano on 22 October. The other came in the opening 1-1 away draw against Universitatea Craiova. The total therefore does not describe six goals conceded at a steady rate across the two rounds.
Brighton scored all four of their goals in the 4-0 home victory over Kauno Žalgiris and failed to score in the goalless away draw at Jablonec. In that second game, Sky Sports' match report and UEFA's round-up describe chances that required interventions by goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen. Conceding no goals does not mean the opposition created no danger.
The two clubs also began the campaign against different opponents. Without accounting for opposition strength, match circumstances and the small sample, goals conceded alone cannot establish that Brighton will maintain their defensive record or that Getafe will repeat the heavy defeat.
What the 5 November fixture may clarify
Getafe host Brighton looking to respond to the setback against Lugano. Brighton remain unbeaten in the two European fixtures assessed here, but the 0-0 draw in Czechia also showed that a clean sheet does not guarantee a goal or a win.
UEFA's schedule gives each side six league-phase fixtures. The Matchday 3 meeting will therefore take place before half of the campaign has been completed. The figures available as of 24 October establish an early contrast, not an anticipated result or final finishing position.
