Getafe
Pepe Bordalas's side had a rough time in their last two league matches. First, they lost at home to Real Betis (1-2), then suffered a defeat away at Leganes with a score of 0-1. Nonetheless, the club remains in 14th place in the standings, maintaining a decent six-point gap from the nearest relegation zone rival.

- No more than two goals have been scored in 17 of the last 21 La Liga matches.
- The club has not scored more than one goal in their last five La Liga games.

Atletico Madrid
With some difficulty, Madrid defeated Athletic Bilbao 1-0 at home in their last match. This was their sixth consecutive unbeaten game in the league (3 wins and 3 draws). The club is still trailing the leading Barcelona by one point, but has now moved up to second place after Real Madrid lost their match. It's worth noting that Diego Simeone's team remains the best defensively, having conceded only 16 goals.

Getafe vs. Atletico Madrid: Match Prediction
Despite their excellent defensive play (second-best in the league after Atletico), the club from the Madrid suburb is near the bottom of the table due to poor finishing. This lack of attacking prowess will play a key role in the upcoming match, no matter how well Pepe Bordalas's team defends. Madrid cannot afford any mistakes now, as they could slip back to third place and fall further behind the leading Real Madrid.
Even at home, Getafe has only the 17th best record in the league, having won just three of 13 home games this season. Atletico, on the other hand, has won 4 of their last 6 away league matches. Also noteworthy is the head-to-head record, which shows complete dominance by the Madrid club. In the last 24 La Liga meetings, the capital team has won 20 times, with the remaining four matches ending in draws.
My prediction – Atletico Madrid to win
