Atletico Madrid have a chance to climb third in the LaLiga table

The LaLiga meeting at Cívitas Metropolitano on Tuesday sees home side Atlético Madrid playing against opponents Getafe. Atlético Madrid will be looking for another win after a 2-0 Champions League triumph vs Lazio. Their most recent results do illustrate the point that quality has been evident in the Atlético Madrid backline. They will be very confident going into this match as they have a really good record against Getafe in their home and will like to put more pressure on the teams above them in the table.

Getafe will go into this game after a 1-0 LaLiga win in the defeat of Valencia in their previous fixture. They are in quite good form but away from home, they have suffered a lot this season. Considering their record at Metropolitan they have to work hard to beat this home team.

Players to Watch

Antoine Griezmann (Atletico Madrid)

Griezmann combines the goalscoring instincts of a number nine with the creative qualities of a 10. He is a versatile forward who can do several different jobs and offers a threat in a variety of ways. He poses an increased goal threat because of his ability to time his runs to target cut-backs and to combine from between the lines with others during both periods of sustained possession and moments of transition.

Borja Mayoral (Getafe)

He is a player with a vast amount of experience and is very good inside the box as he plays as a poacher and is a big threat to the opposition. He is in really good form and performing consistently in the La Liga. He will be a player that the home team’s defence needs to be aware of the most.
