Atletico Madrid vs Getafe Preview – prediction, team news, lineups | Pre-Season Friendly

Los Rojiblancos are on a two-match winning run against Azulones.

Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid will be locking horns with Getafe CF for their first club friendly outing ahead of the 2026-27 season. This will be an interesting outing between these LaLiga sides to watch, taking place at the Estadio Cerro del Espino.

Los Rojiblancos finished fourth in their last league campaign and secured the UEFA Champions League spot with ease. They had a trophyless campaign. Diego Simeone’s men battled Real Sociedad in the Copa del Rey final, but lost the contest on penalties.

Atletico Madrid are looking to prepare well for the upcoming season. Their upcoming clash is not going to be an easy one, but will surely give an idea of what they are missing out on.

The Azulones ended up seventh during their LaLiga 2025-26 campaign. They only managed to secure a UEFA Conference League spot. This time around, the José Bordalás-led side will not be looking to make the slightest of mistakes.

Getafe CF haven’t secured a win in their last two clashes against Atleti and the upcoming one will not be an easy affair for them either. They are coming in after securing a 2-1 win against the Segunda Division side, Tenerife, in their previous pre-season fixture.

Players to Watch

Ademola Lookman (Atlético Madrid)

Ademola Lookman joined the LaLiga club last season and has been very impactful for them on the attacking front. He scored four goals during his previous league run and will be looking to step up his game this time around. The Nigerian forward, with the blast of his pace, can be a constant threat to the opponent’s defence.

Martín Satriano (Getafe)

Martín Satriano was one of the goal-scorers for Getafe CF in their previous matchup. He converted a perfect spot kick in the second half to equalise the scoreline. Satriano will be looking to help his side in the final third once again. Other than being a striker, he can also be deployed on the left flank.
