Getafe vs Real Madrid prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2025-04-22 19:30.
[p]After losing three of their last four La Liga matches (W1), Getafe risk losing touch with the top half and their chances of qualifying for Europe next term are becoming increasingly slim. The last two of those defeats, including Friday’s against Espanyol (L 1-0), were against teams sitting below them which is concerning for José Bordalás’ side as they’re not yet mathematically safe from relegation either.[/p]
[p]Things haven’t been much better at Estadio Coliseum, as the Azulones have won only one of their last seven home league fixtures (D2, L4), although that was against Atlético Madrid, which could give them hope as they take on another side from the capital in Real Madrid. Repeating that success would count as an enormous shock considering Getafe’s miserable run of winning one of the last ten home H2Hs (D2, L7), losing the last two without scoring.[/p]
[p]Real Madrid beat Athletic Club 1-0 on Sunday to end the matchday four points behind La Liga leaders Barcelona, but it took an injury-time winner from Federico Valverde to secure victory – their second in a row in the league by a 1-0 scoreline. It was the minimum that the club needed after their midweek UEFA Champions League exit to Arsenal, which led to increasing speculation that Carlo Ancelotti’s days as head coach are numbered.[/p]
[p]Wherever his future lies, at least Los Blancos appear to have rediscovered their touch on the road as after going three league away games without success (D1, L2), they’ve won their last two, albeit by one-goal margins on each occasion. Their superb record here should also give them a lift as they look to build up to Saturday’s Copa del Rey final against Barcelona with a confidence-boosting performance that keeps them in the title race.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: RamĂłn Terrats has scored two braces across Getafe’s last five league games (W2, L3), on both occasions netting the game’s second and third goals. Madrid’s VinĂcius JĂşnior assisted the second and final goal in this fixture last term (W 2-0), while his last three La Liga strikes were all the second of the game.[/p]
[p]Hot streak: Getafe are winless across their last four La Liga games played on a Wednesday (D1, L3).[/p]
