Real Madrid vs Getafe Prediction & Tips
Real Madrid’s surprising 2-1 defeat to Osasuna last weekend in La Liga has complicated their title chances, but the team bounced back by beating Benfica by the same score in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday, securing their place in the last 16. That confidence-boosting win should allow Álvaro Arbeloa’s side to refocus on chasing Barcelona, who were just one point ahead of them before this matchday.
Getafe’s four-match unbeaten run in La Liga came to an end last Sunday against Sevilla (1-0), leaving the team at the bottom of the table. An early sending-off conditioned that match, a type of indiscipline they cannot afford to repeat now that a much tougher test awaits them against their neighbours. The Azulones will not travel to central Madrid without hope, as they are on a three-match unbeaten run away from home in the league and could go four games unbeaten away from home in La Liga for the first time since February last year.
