In this week’s La Liga clash, Getafe will face off against Real Madrid at Estadio Coliseum. The highly anticipated match between José Bordalás’s squad and Carlo Ancelotti’s team is scheduled to kick off at 8:30pm UK time on Wednesday.
Getafe
Getafe, a modest club in Spain, is content with being part of the 20-team La Liga. They finished 12th in the league table last season, and it seems that the Estadio Coliseum faithful would be satisfied with a similar league position this time around.
Currently, José Bordalás’s side sits in 12th place in the La Liga table with 39 points from 32 matches. Getafe is eight points clear of the relegation zone and just five points away from securing a spot in European competition.
Getafe will enter the La Liga match against Real Madrid at Estadio Coliseum following a 1-0 defeat to Espanyol in an away league game. This loss came after a 3-1 defeat to Las Palmas in front of their home fans, which followed a convincing 4-0 victory over Real Valladolid on the road in the league.
Team News:
Getafe is likely to line up in a 4-1-4-1 formation against Real Madrid. David Soria will be guarding the goal for the home team, while Djene, Domingos Duarte, Omar Alderete, and Juan Iglesias will form the defensive line. Luis Milla will serve as the holding midfielder, with Ramon Terrats, Mauro Arambarri, Yellu Santiago, and Coba Da Costa playing as the attacking midfielders. Bertug Yildirim will lead the line for Getafe.
Real Madrid
Real Madrid, arguably the biggest club in the world, clinched the La Liga and UEFA Champions League titles last season. However, things haven’t been going particularly well for Los Blancos in recent weeks, as Carlo Ancelotti’s side is in danger of not winning any major trophies this season.
Madrid was eliminated from the UEFA Champions League at the quarter-final stage. They currently sit four points behind bitter rivals Barcelona in second place in the La Liga table and are set to face off against them in the Copa del Rey final later this month.
Real Madrid will head into the La Liga match against Getafe this week fresh off a 1-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao at the Santiago Bernabeu in La Liga. This win followed a 2-1 defeat to Arsenal at home in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-final tie and a 1-0 victory over Alaves on the road in La Liga.
Team News:
Real Madrid is expected to line up in a 4-3-1-2 formation against Getafe. Thibaut Courtois will be guarding the goal for Los Blancos, while Federico Valverde, Raul Asencio, Antonio Rudiger, and Eduardo Camavinga will form the defensive line. Luka Modric, Aurélien Tchouaméni, and Dani Ceballos will occupy the central midfield positions, with Jude Bellingham playing just ahead of them in the attacking midfield role. Rodrygo and Vinicius Junior will lead the line as the two center-forwards.
Key Factors to Consider
- Getafe has lost three out of their last four La Liga games.
- Getafe has scored 31 goals and provided 29 assists in 32 La Liga matches.
- Real Madrid has won five of their last six La Liga matches.
- Real Madrid has scored 65 goals in 32 La Liga matches.
- Kylian Mbappe has scored 22 goals and provided 3 assists in 29 La Liga matches for Real Madrid.
Conclusion
Getafe’s form has been far from impressive, and it’s difficult to envision anything other than a victory for Real Madrid in this La Liga encounter. With a stronger squad and better recent performances, the defending Spanish champions should secure all three points at Estadio Coliseum with relative ease.
