Atletico Madrid vs Getafe Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

With a win, the hosts can get level on points with leaders Barcelona.

Atlético Madrid will return to action with a home clash against Getafe in their 17th LaLiga fixture. The Red-Whites are enjoying a superb run of form this season and have faced just one defeat so far. They come into this game on the back of 10 consecutive victories, including a 3-1 win in the Champions League.

Diego Simeone’s men have been invincible at home this season with six wins and two draws. They are ranked third in the standings and will look to reduce the gap with the top two teams on Sunday.

Getafe on the other hand have failed to build upon their momentum and are struggling with inconsistency big time. They are nearing the relegation zone and will want to pick themselves from here on. In fact, they have a horrendous record on the road this season which makes this game even more complicated. They are 15th on the standings with 16 points in as many games and come into this fixture on the back of a win over Espanyol.

Players to watch 

Julain Alvarez (Atlético Madrid)

The Argentine World Champion has come into the scene at Atletico Madrid and has settled in really well. It doesn’t seem that it is his first season in Madrid by any means. He has been phenomenal across all fronts and has been the point of difference for his side on multiple occasions.

Julian makes Atletico’s attacking lineup very strong upfront with his attacking and finishing prowess. He has notched up 10 goals across all competitions, including five goals in his last five games.

Álvaro Rodriguez (Getafe)

Alvaro Rodrguez will be the man to watchout for Getafe. Coming through the ranks of Real Madrid, Rodriguez has the pedigree and the intent to give his 100% on the pitch. Plus, he will be very keen to perform against Atletico Madrid and make his former club proud.

Rodriguez is a multifaceted forward who can operate multiple positions in the frontline. His movements without the ball and game-reading abilities also add to his overall gameplay. The 20-year-old has netted two goals and also has assist in the LaLiga this season, including a match-winning goal in the last game.
