Getafe is 14th before this round and has suffered losses in its last two matches. It has not yet suffered three consecutive losses this season, but the last time it suffered two consecutive losses, one was a 0-1 loss as a guest from Atletico. A month ago, it was beaten 0-5 again by Atletico as a guest, but in the cup tournament. Getafe lost 1-2 to Betis in its last home game, which is the first such game this season where Getafe has allowed more than one goal.
Atletico Madrid will look to stay close to the topAtletico Madrid is one point behind the top before this round. It won its last two league matches with a clean sheet, but this one against Getafe comes between two much tougher matches with Real Madrid in the Champions League. Especially after losing 1-2 as a guest to Real during the week and facing an extremely important rematch in a few days. Otherwise, Getafe is generally not a difficult opponent for Atletico, which has not lost in 27 consecutive matches against this opponent.
Prediction: under 2.5 goalsGetafe has hardly had any matches with over 2.5 goals this season - 21 out of its 26 matches in La Liga had under 2.5 goals. I expect a more cautious approach from Atletico as well, considering its upcoming difficult rematch against Real in the Champions League, although in the league it will also look to stay close to the top.
