Atl. Madrid vs Getafe prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2024-12-14 13:00.
[p]AtlĂ©tico Madrid are one of Europeâs most in-form sides, registering their tenth consecutive win with a 3-1 victory over Slovan Bratislava in midweek European action. That streak includes five wins in La Liga – which has seen them make up ground on both Real Madrid and Barcelona above them – the most recent of which was a thrilling 4-3 triumph over Sevilla despite trailing 3-1 past the hour mark![/p]
[p]The Red and Whitesâ powers of recovery have been on display throughout this La Liga campaign, with that win taking their tally of points won from losing positions to 12, second only to Manchester City in Europeâs big-five leagues prior to the weekend. A date with Getafe promises more good fortune for Diego Simeoneâs men, since AtlĂ©tico are staggeringly unbeaten in the last 25 H2Hs (W20, D5).[/p]
[p]Getafe will be out to ensure that they donât simply make up the numbers though, as their form has also vastly improved by winning four of their last five matches (L1). Two of those victories have come in La Liga, which has helped them move away from the dreaded bottom three, and thereâs no shame in that lone defeat either, which came not too far from the Metropolitano Stadium at Real Madrid. [/p]
[p]That result does mean however that Getafe have now won just one of their last 17 top-flight matches on the road (D6, L10), having failed to score in nine of their last 13 such games. In those aforementioned 25 winless meetings with AtlĂ©tico, Los Azulonesâ record of finding the net has been similarly dire, having only scored in four of those encounters, but each of those occasions have all been in the last three seasons, something which will undoubtedly give hope to JosĂ© BordalĂĄs and his squad. [/p]
[p]Players to watch: AtlĂ©ticoâs Antoine Griezmann has scored in his last five games (G7), a streak heâll be confident of continuing considering that he netted five times against Getafe last season to take his career tally against them to 12. Ălvaro RodrĂguez will look to be the visitorsâ difference maker, since his two goals this campaign have been both the match opener and subsequent winner.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Just one of Getafeâs La Liga games this season has seen more than 2.5 goals scored – the lowest tally in Europeâs big-five leagues.[/p]
