Real Madrid vs Getafe prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2024-11-30 15:15.
[p]Shifting Kylian Mbappé to the left seemed to revitalise Real Madrid last weekend against Leganés (W 3-0), but he and they were far less effective in UEFA Champions League action against Liverpool on Wednesday (L 2-0), as Carlo Ancelotti’s men head into this round of La Liga fixtures four points behind leaders and rivals Barcelona, albeit with a game in hand.[/p]
[p]Eduardo Camavinga limped off against Liverpool following the news that VinĂcius JĂşnior will spend some time on the sidelines, and with Los Blancos still having to field a makeshift defence due to absences, their squad depth will be tested again as they host Getafe. Real Madrid have won the last 15 home H2Hs, and if that’s not enough to inspire confidence, then the fact only Barcelona have beaten them at the Santiago BernabĂ©u in the league since Villarreal did so in April 2023 certainly should be.[/p]
[p]Getafe will make the very short trip north having broken a five-match La Liga winless run (D3, L2) by beating Real Valladolid 2-0 last Friday. Their comfortable 3-0 Copa del Rey victory over Manises in midweek should also boost morale, although they have their own squad depth issues, with manager José Bordalás recently criticising the board for not signing enough attacking players in the summer.[/p]
[p]He may have a point as they’ve failed to score in three (50%) of their league away games this season (D2, L4), with all four of those defeats coming by one-goal margins. Their terrible recent H2H record on the road also counts against them, while Bordalás himself has lost all five managerial H2Hs against opposite number Ancelotti and 11 of his 13 matches in the dugout against Real Madrid (D2).[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Jude Bellingham scored a late winner in last season’s corresponding encounter and got off the mark this term against Osasuna in Real Madrid’s last home outing – both goals were his side’s second of the match. It took Allan Nyom 233 La Liga appearances to do what he did in Getafe’s last game, scoring and assisting in the same fixture, while he has also picked up two yellow cards in his last four matches.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Five of the last six H2Hs that Real Madrid have hosted have featured fewer than 2.5 goals.[/p]
