Atlético Madrid has been in impressive form, winning five consecutive La Liga matches and reigniting their hopes of a title challenge alongside Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Recent results include a 2-0 victory over Las Palmas, a narrow 1-0 win against Mallorca, a 2-1 success over Alaves, and a dominant 5-0 performance against Real Valladolid.
In their most recent game, Atlético mounted a comeback to beat Sevilla 4-3 at home, with Antoine Griezmann scoring twice. This win marked their 10th consecutive victory, following a 3-1 Champions League triumph over Slovan Bratislava, where Griezmann also found the net twice.
In contrast, Getafe’s season has been marked by inconsistency. They earned a hard-fought 1-0 win against relegation-threatened Espanyol Barcelona and a 2-0 home victory over Valladolid.
However, they suffered a 2-0 defeat at the Bernabéu against Real Madrid, with a standout goal from Kylian Mbappé. Getafe has struggled away from home, failing to win in their last seven La Liga away games, with five losses and two draws.
Atlético Madrid’s injury situation has improved, with only Thomas Lemar still sidelined, although he returned for their Champions League match. Griezmann continues to shine, with seven goals and four assists, while midfielder Rodrigo De Paul has been pivotal, scoring key goals.
For Getafe, they will miss suspended midfielder Mauro Arambarri, along with several injured players, including Borja Mayoral, who scored 15 goals last season.
Prediction
Atlético Madrid 2-0 Getafe. With Atlético’s strong form at home and Getafe’s struggles on the road, the hosts are expected to secure a comfortable victory.
