Getafe and Real Madrid will lock horns with each other in La Liga this week. The match between José Bordalás’s side and Carlo Ancelotti’s team will be held at Estadio Coliseum and is scheduled to kick off at 8:30pm UK time on Wednesday.

Getafe

Getafe are a modest club in Spain who are happy to be just part of the 20-team La Liga. They finished 12th in the league table last season, and one suspects that the Estadio Coliseum faithful will be more than happy for a similar league position this time around.

José Bordalás’s side are 12th in the La Liga table at the moment with 39 points from 32 matches. Getafe are eight points above the relegation zone and are just five points off the final European place in the La Liga table.

Getafe will head into the La Liga match against Real Madrid at Estadio Coliseum on the back of a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Espanyol away from home in the league. It came after a 3-1 loss to Las Palmas in front of their fans in La Liga, which followed a 4-0 victory over Real Valladolid on the road in the league.

Team News:

Getafe are likely to line up in a 4-1-4-1 formation against Real Madrid. David Soria will be in goal for the home team. Djene, Domingos Duarte, Omar Alderete and Juan Iglesias will be the four defenders. Luis Milla will be the holding midfielder. Ramon Terrats, Mauro Arambarri, Yellu Santiago and Coba Da Costa will be the four attacking midfielders. Bertug Yildirim will lead the line for Getafe.

Real Madrid

Real Madrid are arguably the biggest club in the world and won La Liga and the UEFA Champions League last season. However, things have not been particularly great for Los Blancos in recent weeks, with Carlo Ancelotti’s side in real danger of not winning any major trophy this season.

Madrid have been knocked out of the UEFA Champions League at the quarter-final stage. Los Blancos are four points behind leaders and bitter rivals Barcelona in second place in the La Liga table and will take on the Blaugrana in the final of the Copa del Rey this month.

Madrid will head into the La Liga match against Getafe this week on the back of a 1-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao at the Santiago Bernabeu in La Liga this past weekend. It came after a 2-1 defeat to Arsenal at home in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-final tie, which followed a 1-0 victory over Alaves on the road in La Liga.

Team News:

Real Madrid are likely to line up in a 4-3-1-2 formation against Getafe. Thibaut Courtois will be in goal for Los Blancos. Federico Valverde, Raul Asencio, Antonio Rudiger and Eduardo Camavinga will be the four defenders. Luka Modric, Aurélien Tchouaméni and Dani Ceballos will be the three central midfielders, with Jude Bellingham just ahead of them in attacking midfield. Rodrygo and Vinicius Junior will be the two centre-forwards.

Key Factors to Consider

• Getafe have lost 3 of their last 4 La Liga games.
• Getafe have scored 31 goals and given 29 assists in 32 La Liga games.
• Real Madrid have won 5 of their last 6 La Liga matches.
• Real Madrid have scored 65 goals in 32 La Liga matches.
• Kylian Mbappe has scored 22 goals and given 3 assists in 29 La Liga matches for Real Madrid.

Conclusion

Getafe are not in the greatest of forms, and it is hard to see anything but a win for Real Madrid in this particular La Liga game. Los Blancos have a better team and are in better form, and the defending Spanish champions should pick up all three points at Estadio Coliseum with relative ease.
